    The logic behind Reed Sheppard to Houston is that Fred only has two years on his contract and Reed could learn behind an experienced PG. Also, shooting is a major issue and Reed addresses that as well. Amen's handles are not strong enough to be back-up PG yet, maybe down the line, and he has proven he can play off the ball already. Lastly, Kentucky guards usually translate well to the NBA, I think both Reed and Dillingham will have good careers (ignore TyTy Washington). ;). Agreed on Topic, I just don't get the hype on him.

    Heat should try to get Donovan for Herro, Jaime and future first round picks. If not then we go get Dejounte Murray, Lauri Markkanen, or Malik Monk sign and trade for Herro and a future pick from Kings for Malik Monk, Caleb or Highsmith, and/or future 1st picks. Draft a big like Zach Edey or KEL'EL WARE and Hunter Sallis probably most underrated best PG in the 2nd round, Terrence Shannon Jr., ZYON Pullin, Keshad Johnson, or Antonio Reeves. Zach Edey is NBA ready, great touch on offense, can pass out the double, and when you need an easy bucket. Sign Jonas in free agency. I love this teams chance with the new roster after this move. If you trade Jimmy it has to be 5 first round draft pick and 2 young players.

      I’m not opposed to seeing George at PG again next season. He played it pretty well, much to my surprise. I do think they need a lot of wing help though. I personally prefer Lauri against a 4 than a 3 (it’s really not that different nowadays but still haha).

    Washington has Vukcevic and Bagley (and Holmes), but it doesn't really matter. They will go on the best player/ future prospect on the board (to their opinion). If it's Sarr, they might use him also as PF (they probably will trade Kuz. Deni and Bilal probably will start, but they might play 2-3 or 3-4 so Sarr might be 4 or 5).
    Vukcevic show a lot of potential (good position,pass, dribble, sight and high IQ), but he wasn't a solid center (must improve: rebounds, defence and shooting). He might be.

      I really like him. He is definitely smart (and that's rare in the Wizards). However, rebounds are very important for Centers. Defence in the Wizards is a "rude word" (hope it will change, but we still have Poole), but it's important to normal teams. Shooting isn't a mandatory, but he can't take 3.6 shots from 3 with 28% (and just 3.1 from 2). As i said he is pretty talented, might be a really good player, but I can't say he is a solid Center after only 10 games. He is definitely going to be a part of the rotation next year.

      ​@@_AVC_ Fair enough...Deal, but since you sound like a lawyer...I love nothing more than to burn them down (like in Roman days...LOL). Oh where to start? Let's go with your first comment of you thinking the Rockets will trade this pick, so this will be the opening argument and then cross-examine with what the Rockets' direction is and their most pressing needs. I will not leave you with a closing statement, because I am longwinded and have more to say, plus I will want to hear your rebuttal...heh
      The Rockets are not going to trade for a vet that has an expensive or moderate contract. Stone has said repeatedly that THEY really love their roster (players). The key word here is THEY (Owner, GM & Coach). MOF, they will be shedding some of their vets soon enough. Plus. if they trade down they will get a less-quality player and another asset, neither will fill their needs as good as pick at #3. Reed is the guy who fits their needs the best in this draft and I do not believe they will take a chance on losing him for an extra lower pick that they don't need.
      Now, take all the rumors about Bridges going to the Rockets. First of all. I cannot see any logical mind think that the Rockets will trade all their Nets picks for Bridges. At first it was JG and a filler and now it is Brooks. I laugh at this because it goes against what they have been doing.
      The Rockets will make a decision on moving JG by the trade deadline or risk to lose him for nothing, unless they intend to resign him. JG's play will determine this. I don't see them moving Sengun. Plus, trading Brooks is not gonna happen. I don't even see that the Rockets have been serious about getting Bridges or any other vet to replace Brooks or JG. I believe that most of this Bridges to Houston is just rumors and a lot of it is Nets fans looking for ways to get the Nets' picks back, because they now finally realize how bad the Harden trade was.
      As for the Rockets, the only thing bad about Brooks is the length of his contract and that is not really a big problem. 3 more years, but it drops from 22.2m to 19.9m (by design) as the league cap goes up (another great move by Stone). On the other hand, Bridges' contract is also 3 more years, but it rises from 21.7m to 24.9m (as most vet contracts do). That is 5 more million on the books in year 3 on a team that will be looking HARD to save cap space anywhere, so they can keep as many of their young core 6 (7 if they draft at #3 and not trade JG) together for a long term run.
      BTW, (for after next season) Stone had positioned several vet contracts that can come off the books and this is very telling of their intended direction: FVV 42.8m (optionable), Adams 12.6m, Landale 8m (optionable), Jeff Green 8.0m and Tate 7.5m. This totals to 78.9m that they can split between Sengun and JG or just resign Sengun, which will give them more options with vets for the following season(s) and for resigning Eason and Smith...then Amen and Cam...then the #3 pick (I hope Reed). I think JG is the first odd man out, then they will have to decide again on the young core (more than once). Bridges or any other vet carrying a sizable contract only makes this good problem worst. Reed at #3 will cost the Rockets about 8m to begin with on his 4-year rookie contract and that leaves them with the cap room that they will need, while filling the their desperate need of shooting with D at the PG/SG positions. He will mentor under FVV for a year and be coached by a defensive minded coach in Udoka that will place a top 5 type defense on the court. Reed will transition his D to the NBA and their are numbers to back this up (but not today).
      In addition, I believe that the Rockets will keep Brooks for all the right reasons, he is an excellent glue guy, two-way player, including vet leadership and having great chemistry with Stephen Adams (for next season). The combination of FVV, Brooks and Adams is a huge positive factor (especially when you have only one year with Adams and Brooks together) for a playoff run next season, for which Adams and Brooks have done together twice as a 2nd seed in Memphis. This you cannot get with Bridges (or anyone else) replacing Brooks just for a marginable increase of talent at starting SF...don't forget they have excellent options at SF on the bench already.
      All the moves that Stone has done are very calculated (another lawyer...heh) with the future in mind...this is oblivious and that is his MO, which he is not going to change. To me, Stone is the best (GOAT) GM that the Rockets have ever had and I have been a fan since 1972 when they came to Houston. I have seen all the rosters, coaches and GMs and right now is the best I have ever seen minus Rudy T and the two years they won with Hakeem. Plus, the Rockets have a great chance to surpass those years in winning...roster and coach...they already did on the GM.
      Now, how are you going to pay up if I am right about them not trading the pick...wanna double down?
      BTW, my comp on Reed is John Stockton, but better D as a ceiling.

    You said stl% and blk% don’t translate. I googled and the first result is a an article from 2022. It looks more at base stats and has blocks as the most correlated, then assists then steals.
    A second article from Aidan Berg on Medium that notes steal rate might be the best indicator of nba success. Granted it was also looking at Cam Reddish who had a 2.9% steal rate which was pretty good and ofc he’s not a star lol.
    Third link is to a basketball-statistics website that has blocks, assists, steals and 3pt shooting as the highest R-squared in a correlation model.
    Further down a Berkeley student did a deep dive on this topic and noted that in the modern era only steals (positively) and fouls (negatively) had ANY statistically significant correlation between college stats and nba ones.
    Look, obviously nothing is a given on an individual basis. And there’s more to look at than just data.
    But your comment - said wrt to Reed - seems flat out just wrong.
    Which is surprising given you noted an nba team hired you.
    Your conclusion might nonetheless still be correct. A guy like Jevon a Carter had somewhat similar measurables to Reed and is one of the few college players I’ve come across who’s 4.7% freshman steal rate tops Reed’s 4.6%. And Carter isn’t exactly an NBA figurehead lol. Of course his block % was meaningful less than Reeds and his 3pt% his freshman (and sophomore) year was compete ass.
    Long story short the items you note about Reed are real concerns. He likely has a solid long nba career but your concerns around ceiling and upside if picked at 3 are worthwhile.
    You just can’t get there by saying xyz don’t often translate to the nba when that is completely wrong

      I can actually touch on those if you want in detail because I know what you’re talking about actually. It’s not too complicated of a discussion but I appreciate the effort you’re going into this with so I want to reward that with a more expansive place to discuss if you want!

      @@_AVC_ im truly tempted... i just have SO MANY discord rooms lol - its kidna annoying :) also headed to the airport for vacation. I'm a Rockets fan. I think ultimately we generally agree... but I'd say (1) i value the advanced stats translating more than you, (2) I value the upside probably more than you - I'm certainly concerned about it as he doesn't stand out wrt to burst or measurements, but the skill and brain can make up for that, and (3) I think everyone in the draft kinda sucks lol
      For the Rockets, I either want Reed at 3, or trade back to 7-12 range where I'd target players more like Knecht, Carter, Mccain, Williams, Ware, etc.

    Fred VanVleet
    Anfernee Simons
    Houston’s 2027 FRP swap rights with Brooklyn
    Blazers finally commit to young core.
    Trading away talented veterans so the younger players can get minutes on the court. This team will never contend as is, a imminent blow up is obvious. Compensated with promising young players and a slew of picks.
    Rockets hand the keys over to Darius Garland.
    Rockets acquire a young and talented point guard to be a corner stone of a rebuild. They currently have the #3 pick in the draft and this trade nets them #7 as well. They could keep the picks and go all in on a youth movement or they could look to double dip and flip some new assets for Mikal Bridges after this trade is finished.
    Cleveland onboards new talent.
    Obviously the pair of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland didn’t workout. Cleveland gets deeper by landing two legitimate NBA caliber starters in Grant and Brogdon. This team desperately needs wing play and Jeremi Grant can provide that. Landing Malcom Brogdon allows Donovan Mitchell to play off ball and conserve energy and not run himself ragged trying to do everything. Both players shoot the deep ball well and stretch the floor.
    Orlando gets a brand new talented backcourt.
    Orlando is building something great. The two way play is exciting to watch. Fred VanVleet is a underrated defender and very skilled point guard with veteran experience that this team needs and Anfernee Simons is the offensive firepower answer. This Dynamic duo could be enough to make the magic serious contenders.

    Actually you pronounce it a the female one.
