Sometimes, you get what you want, but you should have been careful about what you’d wished for.
Leading up to the 2021 NBA draft, most Rockets fans had a lot of wants (let’s leave the Green/Mobley debate aside. Nobody wants to revisit that).
I was neutral on Alperen Sengun. I didn’t want Josh Christopher. In fact, I was so disinterested in Gup that I barely scouted him. I wanted two players later in the draft:
Jalen Johnson and Usman Garuba.
Are you questioning my efficacy as an amateur NBA scout yet?
You shouldn’t be.
