Sky is the limit with Green. absolutely. It’s gonna take a level of humility I’m not sure he has to reach it.

I’m baffled by this. I kept reading the Rockets were going to play Wood at PF more along Theis before Sengun even arrived.
So with Sengun looking so good, why haven’t they? He’s legit better than Wood across the board this year. Wood has to play though, so why not play them together? If I was a Rockets fan, with all the losing, at least I’d be excited to watch my two rookies start.

Giddey isn't even close to Barnes and that's not even me being a homer here. Giddey's TS% is .452 while being a horrible defender lol. Playmaking is legit though.

Which 6? I could only could 4 that are legit contenders right now. I just want to add that so far aside from a few guys, this draft class is looking very promising. Particularly at the top, you can see the flashes of potential from the top picks.

Xavier Tillman? Or do you mean Ziaire Williams? I ask because you said Xavier (who they traded for last year) but he didn't play against Toronto. But they also made a trade for Ziaire Williams this year, who also looks meh and did play. So I'm just confused on who you're referring to.

Ahh kk. I take the pessimistic route and don't see Green or Wagner being "legit RoY contenders right now". I do think Wagner has been great though, so I get it.

They traded up a few days before the draft. The rumors I heard at the time was Giddey was who they wanted. On one hand that would have been a great trade had they got him or been able to trade up a second time, which there were rumors of too. On the other hand, the fact that Giddey went 6th and was also rumored to go 7th to GS if okc hadn’t taken him makes Memphis look like they had a good idea but didn’t do enough research on what it would take to accomplish it.

Jalen Green isn’t sniffing ROY right now. He’s looked atrocious. Rest of those guys are in the race.

Free Sengun. Why is he getting no minutes despite being so reproductive?

Not true. Giddey is on way up while Barnes is going down. Check the last 5 games to get idea how tables have turned. Barnes's calling card was his defense but his defense has slipped down a lot, his man is either blowing past him or he just forget his man; I think playing huge minutes so early has taken its toll. Also since Siakam comes back, Barnes is not getting the ball much from Fred; once OG comes back then Barnes will get even less touches.
