Never thought I'd be excited about the rockets using the 3rd overall pick on Mr. Rogers grandson.

Not bad for a second round pick. Another shooter.

AJ still has a lot of promise. Good pickup

I'm gonna be honest, I don't understand this for either team. The Rockets already have 7 LOTTERY players on rookie deals. Now they add AJ Griffin (basically a lotto pick from 2 years)? 8/15 roster spots are ostensibly college age kids. AJ is a combo forward who joins the biggest logjam in the NBA; the rockets wing group. With Eason, Jabari, Whitmore, Thompson AND Brooks all slated to play the 3 or 4, I'm not sure how AJ fits?

And that's without considering how the rockets are going to prioritize developing Green and Sheppard in the backcourt who will need volume touches (something AJ also needs).

Conversely wtf is atlanta doing? They basically just salary dumped the 16th overall pick from a MUCH stronger draft class for the 44th pick of this garbage fire class? The only thing that makes sense is that AJ's knee (or mental health) is cooked and it helps Atlanta's salary cap to dump him and it helps Houston offload a 2nd rd pick they can't roster anyways for a guy they can cut or move later.

Atlanta just used the number one overall pic for a player at Griffin's position.

And they have tax issues

The last part is what I said. It makes sense if Atlanta did the move for cap relief and think AJ's medical history is too much to overcome.

And Risacher/AJ could theoretically fit together. I think this has more to do with doubt over AJ than fit concerns.

I think this means he'll take Jeff Green's/Tate's spot on the bench and those guys are being packaged for someone else as cap filler.

Even though I wanted Shead with that pick, I think it's a really good trade. AJ shot 39% from 3 his rookie year, but had a weird season last year. He was a really good prospect coming out of college and still has plenty of potential. A second round pick was an extremely low price to pay given that the player we drafted probably would have been a d-league project. Great job by Stone to add another shooter.
