    a) if Rockets with #1 pick?

    if with #2 pick
    b) and Jabari is already gone...

    c) and Chet is already gone...

    d) and Paolo is already gone...

    Roster will be:

    Jaden Ivey
    Jalen Green
    Kevin Porter
    C(more) Wood
    Sengun for 28 minutes....Mark Williams for 20 minutes

    No idea, Stone mentioned he doesn't believe in drafting for fit and if Silas has any input.

    1. Banchero
    2. Holmgren
    3. Smith

    If they're gone I could see him trading.

    Like.
    a) with #1 pick, Stone can choose any, so he chooses Jabari.
    --
    With #2 pick. one of top 3 already gone so in those combos:

    b) if Jabari gone ( another team already took Jabari), so chooses Chet.

    With #2 pick.
    c) if Chet gone, chooses Jabari.

    With #2 pick.
    d) if Banchero gone, chooses Jabari

    if with #2 pick
    b) and Jabari is already gone...Chet

    c) and Chet is already gone...Jabari

    d) and Paolo is already gone...Chet

    Stone is a swing for the fence type of guy during a rebuild/tank job. Chet fits the ultimate swing for the fence. I could see Stone picking Paolo if Chet is gone over Jabari.

    Well hopefully they are firmly in the BPA camp. I’m just guessing but I’d say they take Smith, then Banchero if the draft were held today.

    This could all change after the combine, there are still 4 or 5 guys as potential first picks imo.

    If I were superstitious, I'd say all these "if we pick #_ ..." threads or posts are all jinxes. :p

    Banchero needs to be gone before Stone picks.

    That's how much I trust him.

    My opinion is Jabari Smith should be #1, but if we're guessing what the Rockets are doing...

    I would say Chet or Paolo would be #1 on their board. On paper, in simple terms, they look like the superstar archetype so I'm guessing they have them higher.

    I'm actually hoping the Rockets get the #2 pick or #3 pick and #1 or #2 wants Paolo. I don't trust the Rockets to pick Jabari over Paolo.
