  1. If Kenyon Martin Jr stays which I doubt after the Cam selection but say he did, boy o boy this week be an exciting team to watch next season, the dunks and finishes at the rim will be great!

  2. I’m in Austin now, I’m going to at least 5 games this season! 🔥🔥🔥

  3. No. Cam Whitmore doesn't pass the ball. NBA teams will feast on his TO ratio's.

  4. Pistons aren't a rival for Houston. All the Rockets would be rivals are in the Texas, OKC, or out west. The Pistons aren't on Houston's radar. If tge Rockets could've gotten Dream vs MJ maybe. That's about it. The Pistons are doing good things, but no rivalry is going to brew between the 2.

  5. These were the only 2 players on my radar for them to draft at #4 and they got them both. This is incredible, I'm still in shock to be honest.

  6. It was kind of like the NFL draft. Some predicted the Texans were going to take Will Anderson while others said they were going to take CJ Stroud. So they too, both! The Rockets had valued Cam Whitmore all along and were considering him as well as Thompson for their number 4 pick. So they got both! San Antonio had good luck in the draft but we can’t knock what we came away with. I think Ime has a lot to work with and the Rockets may have a really good year. Would love it if we could pick up somebody like Brook Lopez for a year or two.

  7. Rockets took a gamble with Cam. Cam had injury on same leg twice and had bad interviews. But Rockets got nothing to lose. They have solid guys in every position.

  8. Lets begin with irony. So we won the draft, because we didn't win games which indicates we play no defense – which turned out to be the author of this channel. Classic irony… Although, I'm excited about this season so I guess its time to tune in.

  10. Houston has drafted excellent these past 3 years. Like OKC, Celtics, Warriors, have done in the past. Let's see what comes out of it.
