During the Morey era of Rockets basketball, I personally did not follow the draft very closely.
I knew the top prospects coming into the league. Realistically, anyone who follows the NBA does. Outside of the presumptive top five or so, I was mainly learning about players by watching the draft.
Simpler times.
Now, it’s an obsession. If I booked a therapy session tomorrow, I’d devote time to how badly I hope Anthony Black develops a reliable three-pointer.
With that in mind, I’ll address criticism in advance. No, I won’t “let the guys we have play before (we) start thinking about next year”.
