Undrafted Free Agents

mikeyharris · 06-25-2009, 11:53 PM

Who are some of the player who weren't drafted that you might want the Rockets to take a look at signing?

I like Dionte Christmas, AJ Abrams, Luke Nevill, Connor Atchley, Leo Lyons, Josh Heytvelt, Paul Delaney, Paul Harris, Lee Cummard, Joe Ingles, Curtis Jerrels, Jerel McNeal, Vyacheslav Kravtsov, Jeff Adrien, John Bryant, Chris Johnson, Brandon Costner, Josh Carter, Kevin Rogers, and Alade Aminu

After watching Abrams and Atchley all year being a longhorn....Abrams seems to have a chance to prove himself

Strawman · 06-26-2009, 12:05 AM

Alade Aminu and Dionte Christmas. Although, signing Christmas wouldn't be a good idea because we have so many young guards.

Josh Heytvelt & Dionte Christmas, please!
Size and another SG.

Christmas in July.

Rockets:
Brooks, Lowry
McGrady, Barry, (Taylor)
Battier, White, (Budinger)
Scola, Landry, Cook
Yao, Hayes, Dorsey

SL roster:
Barerra
Taylor, Newley
Budinger, White
Leunen
Dorsey

Agents looking at team needs might think the Rockets are good team to showcase a big man. Maybe a 7 footer like Luke Nevill will agree to play fot the Rockets SL team?

A.J. Abrams can definitely put points on the board but doubt he'll be signed as he is under 6 feet and we already, for the time being, have AB who is 6 feet. We're a team looking to avoid short position players as we already seem to have a premium on them. I love our guys but we do need height which AJ doesn't have.

Egghead · 06-26-2009, 12:17 AM

doubt we go after any since Budinger nor Taylor have guaranteed contracts....

Second rounders aren't guaranteed contracts. Morey said in the press conference that they might ask Taylor and Budinger to head overseas if they don't make the roster.

hi guys,

ive seen joe ingles play several times and he is very smooth on offense. worth a spot in the SL team or training camp. needs a bit more strength to compete on D, but is deff worth a look.

I want Christmas.

AB#0 · 06-26-2009, 12:59 AM

Lyons isn't a bad player. Can spread the floor at the 4 and can shoot.

Forgot Ron there, whom I believe is Rockets' top priority this summer.

I, as a Longhorns fan, would love to see Connor Atchley in action in summer league, hopefully for the Rockets. He's long, atheletic, and has a pretty sweet shot and a good weak-side shot blocker. He may not be NBA material, but I'd like to give him a chance to work out and showcase what he can do at the pro level.

Unsigned, not on Rockets roster.

giggity12345 · 06-26-2009, 01:15 AM

Our team seriously needs to be looking at Nevill, Ademinu, Heytvelt and decide which one would be the best defender and rebounder/shot blocker if we want to compete with the bigger teams like L.A., Cleveland.....

I know, but I just cannot fathom him not being on the Rockets' roster next season.

Anyways, carry on

kc-rocks99 · 06-26-2009, 01:20 AM

Look for backup BIGS (undrafted) -Heytvelt, any skilled euro >7 ft.
or get Camby.

BimaThug · 06-26-2009, 02:06 AM

Luke Nevill would be a good pickup for the summer league team. If he plays well, give the guy a training camp invite.

One guy who I think will catch on with a team and have a decent career is Paul Harris. Dude is built like a mack truck. He's a 6-3 version of Ron Artest. An absolute NBA-level lockdown defender. Some of the top prospects wanted nothing to do with him in pre-draft workouts. If not for the Rockets' selections of Taylor and Budinger, I would totally be for the Rockets signing Harris to the roster. Still, a summer league invite would be nice.

Nevill would be fine.I don't know who Paul Harris is,why would someone avoid him unless he the reputation of being a cancer?

Shaud · 06-27-2009, 02:43 AM

Paul Harris should have went back for his senior year. Didn't even get drafted smh.

Eric Devendorf left early too and did not get drafted.

Wow
