I think ORL will look pretty different next year as they have a lot of overlap and young guys that need more mins. HOU can probably maintain a similar rotation. I also personally like ORLs front office better

Who do you think looks better for next year, who looks like they can win a chip first and which team do you think will peak higher?

Rockets have the Nets pick in this draft so I’d wait at least until the lottery before tackling this. But honestly they’re both so young it’s going to be really difficult to project collectively, so much potential variance it’s gonna be almost guessing.

I like Orlando because they have less overlapping talent and most importantly their two best players fit this modern NBA as do-it-all big wings that have the ability to stretch the floor. Paolo has improved to 36% this year and although Franz has regressed this season, he was did hit 36% his first two years and is 85% at the FT line with great form. Suggs has been a beast all year and we may finally be seeing the light at the end of the Isaac tunnel. WCS is an ideal 5th starter at the 5 and they have both the cap space and assets to bring in the missing piece to complete the puzzle.

With Houston, I like their roster make-up but they just more question marks around the roster. Sengun going out and the team ripping off 7 games with Jalen Green turning into superstar only confuses things more. I also think there is just too much overlapping talent with big contracts guaranteed to Fred and Brooks and Green, Thompson, Whittmore, Tate and even throw in Eason who need valuable developmental minutes. Their pathway to improvement is a bit more difficult to project I feel.

I don't really follow Mosley, but I think Udoka is an absolute stud of a Head Coach and I wish we hired him Toronto. If there is one guy I would bet on to lead team, he's that guy.

The Rockets have put something nice around Sengun, but I personally think ORL looks like the better team, at least this year. Banchero already appears ready to go, a 20/7 Alpha type guy, and beyond that Orlando has a ton of good defenders, in Black, Suggs, or Franz. Franz is another great international player as well, so ORL has a lot of potential going forward. I think HOU has some work to do, FVV is really good but Jalen Green is a more common player. They need to tinker with their roster a bit more.

[Shock Defeat]

Houston has higher upside but higher chance that they don't pan out. It all hinges on Jalen Green tbh. If he turns into a superstar then it's easily Houston, but if he regresses then Orlando is better.

There are a few players that can easily become the best player out of these 2 cores. Sengun, Green, Smith all have superstar potential and Banchero, Franz and Suggs to a lesser extent have a strong case aswell. Kind of hard to project who will be the best in 5 years (probably Alpo)
