Wembanyama, Scoot, and Miller will go in the top three. The draft really starts with pick 4. Who do they pick?

They should pick Amen. Him and Harden could be a fun backcourt and the Beard has the gravitas to mould Amen into playing to the team style.

That is assuming Harden goes back to Hou.

I like Black for Houston.

He and Sengun would make for a dynamic BBIQ pairing. His size as a PG fits well next to Jalen Green.

They should trade back with Utah and take Lively and Howard.

I mean the poll has 3 right answers and two wrong ones. Rockets front office isn't that sharp and focuses on a msm hype under Stone's tenure.

Being a partial Rockets fan, I'm sure they'll take Amen without hesitation.

Pelicans are a threat to trade up to 3 for Amen if/when the Hornets take Scoot #2. The Pelicans signaled they're prepared to bring in a young floor general. Their priority is Scoot, and they're aggressively pursuing him and hoping he falls to 3, but perhaps the Blazers and Pels have worked out a contingency plan.

So I have Miller sliding to 4 where the Rockets should take him for spacing with Jabari for Sengün at center. Rockets can always overpay for FVV, D'Angelo Russell if not Kyrie or Harden.

Udoka would make the perfect watchdog over Miller who comes with questionable maturity.
