Man… Rockets please don’t screw this one up like you did by not taking Grimes…
Why is Whitmore a better selection than JWalk?
Stop! I agree Grimes was the better choice from who we took but they should never base their selection off being from UH.
Honestly want a more immediate impact for the Rockets than what I feel Walker will be. I like what he may become but also feel he is a 2 year project at that level.
I do think Sasser would be a good choice for the Rockets next pick in the 1st and fill a need.
I’m just saying if it’s between Whitmore and JWALK I’d prefer JWALK.
Rockets have been semi disfunctional. I’d want Jarace to go somewhere with an established front office and coaching staff that will develop him properly.
Last time, UH had a player drafted CKS was at Grimes’ draft party. Question is, where will Sampson be this Thursday…
- At the NBA Draft with Jarace
- At the Marcus Sasser draft party
- Neither

NBA Draft is in Brooklyn, NY.
So, if Sasser rents out a suite in NYC, then Sampson could be apart of both.
Im sure we’ll find out these details Wednesday or Thursday
I think he tries to make both especially if they are semi close to the venue.
2021, Quentins Draft Party…
If he can only be at 1…he’ll be at Sasser’s is my thinking
Jarace was invited to the Draft Green Room. Sasser wasn’t
Sasser picked by the Grizzlies (who sent him to Detroit) at 25.
I saw a mock that had Sasser going to Detroit in the 2nd round a week or so ago. I guess the word was out the Pistons liked him so they did what they had to do to get their guy.
The last time the Coogs had 2 first rounders? May be wrong but I think Olajuwon and Drexler. Before that it was Hayes and Chaney.
I don’t think we have ever done it in the same draft.
Olajuwon and Young, I believe.
Please let Cam Whitmore have a Draymond Green sized chip on his shoulder when he starts playing for the Rockets next season!
In 1987 we had Anderson and Winslow go at #s 23 and 28 overall, but #28 was a 2nd rounder back then.
News sources say that Olajuwon and Young in 1984 was the last time we had two first rounders
Brain fart. I meant Dream and Young in '84. Hayes was 1st and Chaney was 12th in '68.
