    Rox at point are still rebuilding the team outside of Green and maybe Sengun/KPJ. They need everything shooting, defense, playmaking, they need everything thats why they got the worst record.

    At a certain point yes we will need a playmaker but given the talent on display right now in the draft shooting and defense should taka priority.

    You arent missing anything Jalen Williams is a beast and crushed st the draft combine.

    Its just he fell thru the cracks and would def be a decent pickup at 17. He is my 2nd choice along with Kendall Brown if Eason is off the board.

    There you go again getting me excited about a mid-late round pick. Keep it up!

    Jovic will likely spend his rookie year in the G League … which may be a good fit for the Rockets since without a trade they are loaded with developing players.

    Jovic or another player who needs significant G League time might be the best choice at 17.

    Rockets must find a way to draft Eason.

    He is a very unique 2 way player.

    Know nothing about Jaylin Williams. We also need PG. I'm consider Washington if Eason is gone. Some Redditors seem to like Liddell, but I don't. I rather play Garuba more. Not sure about Kendall Brown. Beauchamp got good length and athleticism, but shooting kind of suck.

    The Arkansas Jaylin Williams always impressed me.

    I'd give Charlotte Wood, 17 and whatever else it took for 13 to get Williams. Adding Duke's front court would be a huge boost in size for a team that desperately needs it.

    7'2" Damn. No wonder Banchero looks shorter than 6'10" playing next to him. I always thought Banchero is actually 6'9". He may be 6'10" after all.

    A Mark Williams pick would have the GARM geeking out. Duke bros would ball out for us.

    The trick is Williams may not slide past Portland at #7. They are definitely in win-now mode.

    I have been VERY vocal of wanting Tari Eason at #17. But also been warming up to Jalen Williams.
