      He literally said he’d take Houston top 3 over the Magic’s.
      Sengun/Paolo is debatable, truly
      Jabari/Franz is closeish but imo Franz clears
      Whitmore/Suggs is a bit disrespectful to Suggs, Whitmore can score but what does he give you outside of that? He’s the same player as Jalen Green with a bigger body and lower usage.
      Suggs is already one of the better defenders in the league and shooting 40% on high volume. He’s the reincarnation of Jrue Holiday.

    Right now it’s Orlando, they have 4-5 guys at PF/center that could be future all stars, I really like Franz Wagner, Paolo, and Wendell Carter Jr. they also have a crazy amount of good guards as well, they probably need to fill out the small forward spot. Houston has a lot of upside, I think they’re just a little bit behind Orlando. I’d keep them behind Orlando because of Jalen Green being pretty immature, I do like Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr., they’re the core pieces.

    id like to offer some pushback on the point made that sengun, unlike jokic, can not control a game late and the ball doesnt get to him all the time down the stretch. this is a coaching problem and a personnel problem. the rockets all season have had trouble closing and its in large part due to not being able to get the ball to sengun consistently in the clutch. they just struggle to make entry passes.
    sengun also has one of the highest ts% in the entire league in the 4th.

    As a rockets fan I’ll be honest as of right now it’s the Magic and the simple reason is they know who their main guys are out of their core pieces
    It’s Paolo and Franz the Magic got a legit all star in Paolo who going to continue to get better with his playmaking and you got Franz who is a borderline or is already a all star level player and he has pretty much taken the role as the Magic second best player.
    Suggs looks like be becoming a good 3 and D player even though he actually a PG/SG.
    Anthony Black I really love his game. He a great ball handling guard but he can obviously play off ball and become a slasher to the basket due to Paolo handling the ball mostly.
    They got a good big in Wendell and they Cole Anthony and Isaac off the bench.
    This Magic team is more set up then ours at the moment to be a contender in the long run if they want to they could go all in on a super star if they wanted.
    As of my rockets we have Sengun who an all star level player he slowly getting in to that superstar level of play. However we have a GM and front office that don’t believe in him and much rather play a guard oriented system.
    Jalen Green been awful most of the season he might get traded next year he been too inconsistent despite the untapped talent he has. If he starts next year off horribly if he doesn’t get traded in the summer. Then Jalen Green will no longer have a future with the rockets.
    Jabari has the potential to be a 20/10 guy if not he an elite role player. If he not traded I think he going to be a good 3 and D wing.
    Amen is special especially on the defensive end if he gets a shot it’s over. But I’m cool with him being Ben Simmons.
    Cam is a really good shooter the man can score everywhere and he knows when to cut and move around to get his shot. He just need to improve on the decision making.
    Tari he been hurt but he the ultimate glue guy.
    We have the pieces but we don’t have a main guy and the roster bad and the front office is huge question mark for us.
    I say because of those reasons the Magic have a better core then us

      As a magic fan I'll say green as superstar potential. But it's crazy to me that's he's been so inconsistent. Especially going into year 3. Where suggs who came out of the same draft is excepting who he needs to be as a player. I honestly think that rookie Thompson kid will probably end up as a main piece for Houston. He already passes, play better D, and rebounds better than green.

      This summer is really important for him to get better. He can’t afford to have another bad first half of the season. If he inconsistent again next year, he defintely not going to have a future with us moving forward.

      That being said, he needs to do it again next season. If he can shoot at least 38% from 3 next season, then he truly can be what he was originally thought to be when he was 1st drafted...an All-Star caliber player, and the Magic will have a legit big 3.

    Guy on the left tries to be unbiased which I appreciate, but his floor spacing comment on the Magic just makes no sense with all due respect. Paolo has shot the three ball better than Jabari this season lol. Jalen Suggs is a 40% 3 point shooter. Franz 3 has struggled a bit this season, but isn’t necessarily a worry as we’ve seen his shot be good, and he’s battled injuries and fatigue this season. Sengun and Thompson are worse 3 shooters than all 3 magic guys. And Jabari is the 3rd best out of the entire group, with the Magic having top 2 as of now… just not the right argument here. Anthony black and Jett Howard can’t exactly be ignored here, even though they aren’t top priority for this team this season since it’s full on trying to win. I respect thinking the rockets have more, but I think the rockets are praying they get 3 guys like the Magic got

    Disagree with one thing, everybody always implies that Boston wants to play pretty basketball and Nuggets want to tough it out and that's the advantage that each of the teams have. That's not true, Nuggets are the best team in the league in pretty basketball and they are the best 3p shooting team, they just don't have the playstyle and mentality of never waiving consistency. BOS plays almost every game the same an the level is really high, but when Nuggets want to play pretty, they can play prettier than Boston! (with that said I jinxed them and they are gonna score like below 100, but I still believe what I wrote)

    You guys are sleeping on Amen Thompson. Udoka has hinted that he thinks Amen is a better defender than Dillon Brookes. Amen is an amazing athlete - overall, better than Jalen Green! He's also smart. But he has NO shot and his handle is still la bit loose. He a great slasher and is thriving in the dunker's spot. I challenge you to start watching more Rockets games to see his sizeable impact. Everyone thinks he's a point guard - more like point forward. Rockets need more shooting but I think Amen is in a tie with Cam for potential - Cam is just flashier - - offense always wins over defense.

      Suggs will most likely be all defensive 1st team this yr. And if issac played enough games he would be too. Not taking anything from amen, but to claim he's already better than a suggs or a johnathan issac on defense is crazy. And to suggest Amen has a higher IQ than paolo the current rookie of the year who is 1 of 4 players to ever average what he's averaging as a second year player with the likes of Jordan, lebron and luka only, clearly shows you don't know what you're talking about. Paolo have averaged OVER 20 since he first stepped into the NBA. he's putting up numbers only a few have managed to put up at his age. If amen was better in anyway than paolo he surely would be doing the exact same or better. But he's not. Amen has a proven all star and champion on his team in van fleet, vs the magic being the third youngest team in the NBA but is already better than Houston. If amen was all that as you claim they should be better than the magic. And btw, I like the kid, I think he has game. But he's nowhere near the credit you're giving him. Atleast let him prove it first before crowning him with nothing to back it up with but pure speculation and personal opinions.

He has the best defense on either team. can guard 1-4 and sometimes 5. he was injured the first part of the season. and we had players ahead of him it was no rush to play him that much just develop. But now that Sengun is down his minutes have been up and he's balling. Yes he has the best defense and iq. It's obvious if you watched any amount of him. Just needs to tighten up his handles and improve his shot. You say the Magic are the 3rd youngest team but the Rockets have the most points scored by players 21 and younger. we have players like Boban and Jeff and FVV who increase our avg age but our core 6 is 22 and younger. Amens defensive numbers are elite too since you want to talk about numbers. Rockets will win a championship before the Magic easily. @@coreyjohnson5346

Amen beats AB in every statistical measure besides 3pt shooting on only 1 more minute of action. Amen’s a near all-defensive level defender, a better driver, more athletic, and a better playmaker. Jett has potential but as of right now 1.8 pts on subpar efficiency speaks for itself…. Whitmore averages 12.2 points which is more than AB who plays more minutes. Saying Franz and Paolo clears everyone on our team just isn’t true. Paolo is the best player out of both teams but there is a noticeable drop off in young talent after him and Franz. The rockets are just deeper in versatility and potential.
