Who is Rockets targetting at 26?

My thoughts:

3 - Banchero/Holmgren
17 - Eason
26 - Koloko/Chandler (depending on who they got at 3)

Koloko would be a steal at 26th. He is as good as Holmgren on the defensive end.

Rockets have 3 picks -- 3, 17 and 26.

Here are who they will draft based on availability:

3 - Banchero (PF)
17 - Branham (SG), Eason (SF), Jovic (SF)
26 - If they got Branham at 17, it will be Chandler (PG) or Brown (SF)
- If they got Eason or Jovic at 17, it will be Beauchamp (SG)

Sadly, it's a wishful thinking for me that Rockets get Koloko. I think Rockets are trying to make a deal for Nic Claxton as their new Center, instead of going by the draft to get a Center.

Rockets got it with the best fit for them.

3 - Jabari Smith
17 - Tari Eason

28 was terrible. You gave up Wood for Wendel Moore Jr? Christian Koloko should have been the pick. Guys you need a 7 footer.


It's bad enough you have a problem with a literal small forward in 6'4 Jasean Tate and now you doubled the problem with another literal small forward in Moore. Where is the brain here?

Rockets added via signing into a 2-way deal undrafted guard Trevor Hudgins of MO State.

Last year's draft, the Rockets focused on OFFENSE.

To counterbalance, this year's draft, the Rockets focused on DEFENSE.

You are probably aware of this but the Rockets have several of the Nets first round picks due to the Harden trade. With the Nets imploding and possibly entering rebuild mode that bodes well for the Rockets. What would have been late 1st round picks could be lottery picks.
