The Rockets could go with either of the big 3 here. (Chet, Jabari, Paolo). They have a really bright future with Sengun, Green, Christopher, and KPJ. Wood is coming off another good year and the Rockets definitely need to at least try to move him as it would benefit the both of them. With him being gone they need a 4, and Jabari is the guy for them. With Sengun not being necessarily the best defensive center, they could really use someone like Jabari to help strengthen it on the perimeter and interior. For his size he is surprisingly quick on the perimeter and can stay with shiftier guards and isn't a bad shot blocker. He could make for a great second option, or even a 1 depending on the direction the Rockets decide to go in. He can score off the dribble for himself, or be an off ball type of option for Green to look to. He really just can spread the floor for any offense and the Rockets could have an amazing 1 2 punch in the future.
Comp: His career could really go two ways here. He potentially could end up like a KD, or maybe go down like a JJJ path.
