A player like him probably won't thrive in the summer league either way where defense isn't really played so it doesn't matter too much. But would be cool to see all of the Rockets young players together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Jean Montero would be another nice fit next to Jalen. @Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a steal if he outperforms his draft position. Obviously years too early to project something like that, but it has nothing to do with where he was projected to go.

Seems pretty universal to use the term "steal" if Murphy turns into one of the best players in the draft, but you do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you consider Tom Brady a "sleeper", not a "steal" in regards to the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider a steal someone that is taken later in the draft and then ends up as one of the better players from their class. Such as guys like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Giannis, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If you draft someone at 5, and he becomes the best player in the class, it's a steal. A steal doesn't have to be some long way off pick like Draymond or Brogdon or Kawhi. Getting Dwyane Wade at 5, for Miami, was a steal. They got a top 2-3 SG of all-time at the 5th pick in the draft. Michael Jordan went #3. The perceived GOAT at #3 isn't a steal? Really? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
