It would definitely suck but its not the end of the world. rockets just need to get a franchise guy in 2022 and 2023 when they have their own picks.

Detroit - Cade Cunningham | GF | Oklahoma State 2. Cleveland - Evan Mobley | C | USC 3. Oklahoma City - Jalen Green | GF | G League Ignite 4. Toronto - Jalen Suggs | G | Gonzaga 5. Oklahoma City (via HOU) - Jonathan Kuminga | F | G League Ignite 6. Orlando - Keon Johnson | SG | Tennessee classic magoc lotto outcome. besides isaac, hampton's my favorite piece going forward on orlando. **** maybe my favorite piece since isaac can't get 20 games on the court without busting his ankle or tearing something. but i wouldn't be mad at keon i guess, even tho it's like **** this is what we do every year. take an energy/high potential dude that just needs a shot that never develops a shot until we give up on him and trade him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Will the exploitation of Gobert's perimeter D make guys like Kai/Isaiah Jackson, who can guard on the perimeter, more sought after? Edited June 19, 2021 by Jeezla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I think a haul of Keon Johnson, Kai Jones and Brandon Boston Jr is pretty damn good for a rebuilding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have to be able to bang down low with the bigger guys in the league, but yes. Guys who can protect the rim and then switch on D are invaluable in the league now imo. They also have to add something other than rim running (ie become a good passer/respectable shooter). Gone are the days where the centers who just attack of Lobs and offer nothing else.
