    Ime going to turn him into a defensive beast which green needs as a backcourt partner. Even if he ends up Westbrook, okc was ride or die for him for a reason. Houston loves guy who leave it all on their floor as well so he's our guy now. Amen.

    This dude is gonna be our star player. He’s got the drive and all the skill, he just needs to lock in a halfway decent shot.

    Don't worry the trash bros have been working on basketball 12 hours a day for 2 years. Shot still as broken as ever.

    IF he gets even a decent shot watch out.
    There's a reason the if was capitalized....

    My prediction is that even the haters will come around, whether he turns out to be a star or not. He is going to work hard and play with high effort and will be a smart player who does what he's supposed to do. Start thinking about how you like your crow served.

    I’d rather have Victor Wem……., but at #4, I’m fine w this pick. Maybe it will work out, maybe not. It’s just basketball. I still have to o to work in the morning.

    This might be the best fit for Amen considering how much he needs to grow and I trust Udoka but I’m not sure it’s the best pick for the Rockets

    Pick a player that can’t shoot at all!

    Sounds awesome!

    His shot is literally broken. It’ll always be bad.
