Who would you select at #18?
most mock draft had us taking Tyus Jones at #18
while Jerian Grant, Delon Wright, and Terry Rozier still available
which PG would you rather have?
or as always pick the best available?

Re: Who would you select at #18?
Can you edit to include more options with the ability to change selection until Draft Day?
I'm inclined to go Dekker atm but may change my mind.

Re: Who would you select at #18?
this is gonna be the offseason morey stops being cheap as hell. the pick will be packaged in a trade for a pg or pf. thats what im hoping for.
if rockets dont trade the pick then i'd rather get a wing. a quick look at who they can get is dekker, anderson and hollis jefferson. i dont trust a late teen pg backing up if bev is back, and we dont need any more bigs.

Re: Who would you select at #18?
I go with J.Grant, could fit perfectly with us. Btw I still think a trade-up would be the best
Maybe I destroyed the game, or maybe you're just making excuses.

I'm still firmly in Grant's camp also, but because I think the pick will be packaged, I'm rolling with a Badger. If the pick is kept, Grant makes a ton of sense for the Rockets.

Re: Who would you select at #18?
long time Rockets insider cyberx hinted that there will be lot of trade on draft day so ... hold tight till then
i watch lot of prospect workout video
Wright got high ceiling but his workout is bad (some is not a good practice or workout player)
judging from our need Jones and Grant make the most sense they are more consistent and smarter
Jones is smaller don't know if he's strong enough to defend most PG in the NBA
Dekker is good but i don't think he will be available at #18

cyberx is that legit guy from Clutch Fans, right? I recognize that screen name and a few others when I hear them, but that's the one that a lot of people seem to hold in high regard.

I am not a presence on Clutch Fans. I'm pretty sure my invitation to anyone there would go completely unnoticed.

Re: Who would you select at #18?
Rockets should trade up for Cameron Payne. Great fit for your roster.

Either he or Devin Booker would be fine for me.

If we take Booker hopefully he'll have a better Rockets career than his daddy had in the 95-96 season. He was a CBA call up during that injury-plagued season trying to defend our back to back titles but only played in 11 games for Houston.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Payne was the dream scenario, but with the choices available, I was hoping for Tyus Jones. With that said, I trust Morey more than I trust myself. Ever since his first year on the job, it's been obvious that he's on a special level as a GM. I used to frequently second guess and criticize the management of the Rockets and other teams, but ever since Morey arrived, my response to every "What should the Rockets do?" question has just been, "Whatever Morey decides." It's still weird to feel that way about a GM, tbh.

after i was screaming for Kawhi Leonard and he picked Marcus Morris
i do not trust him in draft
he do better in trade though (sometime)
