Houston is blessed
I believe people can feel however they want to,all I know is that atleast now we are sitting good at the small forward position,Tari Eason and especially Jae Sean Tate and kj martin now truly have some competition at the small forward position because it seems like they’ll have the more competition
I was in the chat last night during locked on I think Jackson seen my conspiracy theory… Stone might've got cam to tank his try outs and put out some misinformation about the severity of cam injury sold him on this being his best chance at success and maybe even payed some people not to draft him ….ok I my be reaching but …
The thing is cam has a rep as a none practice player that doesn't go hard in practice and workouts …and he look and acted like he didn't want to be in a lot of the work outs so that with the medical stuff combined …is what I read and heard… Still sound fishy ..but me I'll take it all day especially Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00
Pay attention to our record during the first 41 games of next season vs the second 41 games. I expect the win % will rise dramatically. Having a great coach developing these guys is going to pay dividends sooner rather than later.
Kpj / Tate / KMJ / Garuba + Brooklyn FRP for Dejuntae Murray and Clint capela
🚀7️⃣1️⃣3️⃣🤘🏽
I wouldn't want anything to do with Wenbanyama for a number of reasons, but not just injury risk. You have a more talented player in Sengun. I like this draft.
Silas about to coach Ausar in Detroit 😂
Yo Frank what you think about this trade KPJ,KMJ,future 1st for Ausar to pair him with his brother? Pistons get a small forward KPJ gets reunited with Silas
I believe it was pretty up in the air for Cam when Detroit chose Ausar Thompson and Washington elected to go for Bilah then there was really no other teams mocked to take Cam besides Nets and Houston
We got lucky gettimg Cam Whitmore but, I'll take it.👍
It’s been a tough 3 years. But to get Amen in here and for Cam to fall to 20. I’m excited as ** for this season. Especially to see how Udoka molds them. The new look Rockets, I can’t wait.
We leaving this 3 year tank with something
A+ Great draft by the Rockets, I wanted Cam and Amen 🙏🏾 and that’s what we got! Or Amen and his brother I’ll take Cam without having to give up anything to get him.. More reward than risk🔥
Another thing that we have to factor in is we have culture with men with chip on their shoulders and something to prove next season and that will be a blueprint for success like it was for Denver.. Now we just have to add the right veterans to elevate that winning culture.
I loved this draft. I still feel like we need shooting, badly. I need everyone's 3 point percentage to rise by 5% lol
I think Tate, kpj, KJ, and TyTy are gone.. I could be wrong, I'm just guessing..
Ship out Tate nix and Christopher trim the fat open up slots for vets
Hind sight is 20/20, but Stone could of just set his queue, turn on auto draft, and leave😂
There were two wise men in front of a king. One wise man said that a gentleman is born. The other wise man said that a gentleman can be made or trained. The king did not know who to believe so he sent them both out to find evidence. One wise man found a cat in a tuxedo walking on 2 feet and delivering food on a silver platter. He thought he had found his proof that a gentleman can be trained. So he presented that cat to the king. The other wise man found a box and took it in front of the king. So when the cat came walking out on two feet in his tuxedo to deliver the king’s food, the other wise man opened the box and a bunch of mice jumped out. The wise man said that this proves that a gentleman is born not made. Because we all go back to what we are naturally.
This is a long winded way of saying that I hope amen is that natural born point guard/leader that the rockets need.
KPJ going to 6th man of the year in approx 3 years…quote me
😮The zenneth of the tanking
Here’s hoping Amen is Penny Hardaway but faster and no injury.
Yes we did 😊
I suddenly remembered our ñowest point last season. Bout tine 🔥
Subscribed! Good work my man!
This channel is going places!
Stone(d):420 let’s go!!!!! Csg here we come !!
The Rockets need to sign a big body. Former Illinois center Kofi Cockburn (7'0, 285lb) is in China. So is Dwight Howard. Clint Capela is possibly on the market. The Rockets could get one or two on the cheap. Teach these guys defense and shore up the midrange game. Doesn't have to be all 3's.
I wanted Scoot, but this draft turned out as good as it could. Let Cam cook in the G-league and bring him up when ready. We have the core absolutely now. Reminds me of the 'Stros ten years ago when they started getting Altuve, Correa, Springer, etc. In that analogy, Cam may be J Peña. As for Stone, he deserves some credit. We got Cam and gave up nothing. Now it's time to get solid vets.
Peanut head lol
They gotta get rid kpj tho
The media has hyped up these guys some ferrous. These players are just kids. They are not going to make much difference until the season is half over and then they may have made some adjustments to the NBA. Amen only shot 53% from the free throw line last season. He may be able to guard multiple positions on, defense but he has a long way to go. I think it was a much bigger feat for Stone to come up with Sengun, Josh Christopher and Tari in the drafts before. Amen fell to us and Whitmore was a no brainer. I am convinced Stone has drafting skills. But what the media has told us about potential free agent signing, he hasn't proved to me he is a well rounded GM. If Stone screws this up then signing Ime was a waste of time. Brook Lopez is 35 years old. Dillon Brooks is a over pumped up moron. Give me a break. I rather the Rocket's sign Brook Shields.
