2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?

Very happy with the Reed Sheppard pick. This kid is a baller. 

So current 10 man rotation looks like FVV/Jalen/Brooks/Jabari/Sengun with Amen/Sheppard/Cam/Tari/Steven Adams, right? 

IMO Dillon Brooks is the expendable player here. If we don't get the best version of him, his minutes need to decrease significantly. I'd be happy if we could trade him.

I love this as a buy low on a young 3&D wing
 

 

Love the trade-will be the second best shooter on the team after Sheppard.  The only pick that would have been more fun would have been to draft Bronny James and then hold him for ransom.

Mark Price is probably the ceiling for Reed, right? A 4x time all star, 4x time All NBA player out of this draft would be a big, big win. 
 

Is there a path for Reed to play enough this season to replace FVV next season? 

A 50/40/90 player would be awesome, but I doubt this guy will ever get close to that efficiency. 

 

I forgot about the Summer League, it will be fun to see how bad Bronny James is compared to guys that belong in the NBA.

Mark Price’s game would look a lot different in the modern NBA-probably twice as many three point attempts and half as many assists.

I think they’d love for him to take a chunk of FVV’s minutes so they can replace the latter with someone cheaper in ‘26.  Plus Fred will get injured at some point during the season.

free agency starts in about 20 minutes.  doesn't sound like the rockets are planning on being terribly active.  i'm mostly fine with that approach, but would like to try and package landale and tate (and jeff green if necessary) for another shooter.  but that may be more of an in season type of move.
