    Look like fools for doing what? We drafted 3rd and picked the #1 projected player.

    Smith with a chip on his shoulder is not a bad get. HopefuIy he comes like Green last year, pissed he didnt go first. Green and KJP are going to get a million assists on the drive-and-dish to corner jumpers from Smith.

    Not going to lie, really want OKC to get Wembyama next year just for the Wembyama-Holmgren- Pokusevksi lineup.

    Jabari looked so pissed. Not sure if it was for being passed on or coming to Htown. I'll give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Lets go

    Yeah dude was on his phone getting counseling from his agent the moment Banchero got called.

    Saddest No 3 pick I've ever seen. Hope it's because he wanted to be no 1 and not cuz of the Rox specificially lol. He's my no 1 but def not digging the attitude.

    Well.

    At least it's not Chet lol

    Porter - Green - ??? - Smith - Sengun

    This is a cohesive unit. We need that defense and a sharpshooting big. We got it. Gotta address that 3 spot now.

    I really don't think people should be overthinking about Smith not being happy to be with the Rockets.

    He literally dropped from 1st to 3rd overnight, practically never seen before in this league. He's likely shocked that he dropped 2 spots.

    The hope here is that it wasn't because the Magic saw something alarming, although Paolo never even worked out with the Magic either.
