Funny opening paragraphs. Doesn't even want to write the mock in the first place but is being forced to by the people that pay his salary.

Veeeerrryy interesting how far he has Drummond sliding.

Quote:
#14:
Houston Rockets | Jeremy Lamb | SG | Connecticut

Too talented to slip any further. For a Rockets team that's likely to deal Kevin Martin at some point, either now or before next February's trade deadline, getting an heir apparent in place as good as Lamb makes too much sense.

#16:

Houston Rockets | Andre Drummond | C | Connecticut

Whether or not the Rockets keep this pick to put in a bigger package, or hold onto it, Drummond's got too much potential to slip any further on the board. But if Houston did want to make another run at Howard, having a young center to be able to send back as part of the deal would be crucial.

#18:

Houston Rockets | Moe Harkless | SF | St. John's

Rockets -- who am I kidding; there's no way they still have all these picks by Draft time -- add to their talent bonanza with the green-but-gifted Harkless. His jumper needs work but the stroke isn't broken, and he has as much upside as any of the freshmen that came out.

Wow. That would be a major plummet for Drummond. Any specific reason for that?

He seriously thinks Drummond is falling that far, especially since a good center is coveted in this league. The dude is a physical specimen and is athletic as hell. Yeah he's young and needs to mature, but he'll have time to develop. I'd be really surprised if Drummond falls out of the top ten.

Smoking crack before doing a mock draft is never a good thing...

There's no way in hell Drummond falls that far unless...

I agree... the funny part about the mock is the Rockets would pass on him at 14, but take him at 16. No way.

The most interesting thing about this piece was:

Quote:
The Grizzlies are expected to sell this pick [#25] to one of the teams that currently do not have a first-rounder, like New Jersey, San Antonio or Utah. Any of them would do well to grab Moultrie, who became a star as a junior in Starkville and is an excellent value pick here. |
You think the Rockets might be interested or would they rather save their cash to buy a second rounder or two?
Remember, Morey is good friends with Chris Wallace and the Grizzlies still owe us for that Battier-Thabeet trade.

They don't really owe us. Rockets got a draft pick from MEM that they packaged to get Motiejunas.

Ya, that's the end result. We can thank David Kahn for that one.
I was partly kidding, but I imagine we could have done a little better than the pick we got for Battier from the Grizzlies. Having Thabeet occupy a roster spot also made us lose out on Lin. Not sure if we could have dealt for Camby without Thabeet though.
