I was just wondering who the rockets planned on picking up in this years draft. I heard something about it somewhere on the boards but i cant find it anywhere.
in the rookie draft...i don't think the rox know who they plan on picking yet. in the E-draft its simple: AG and the TE to the bobcats for lorenzen wright wright is a great fit at PF for us. picking him up would also help make mo even more expendable.
dude, unless there´s a major trade in the making, the rockets are picking at #56, which means this year´s draft is even more entertaining as last years
if the rockets can manage it to trade up a few spots in the second round, they might be able to pick up darius rice...
I'm hoping they trade up in the 2nd round, to pick up Chris Duhon. If we do the trade with ORL, I'd make trading 2nd round picks a part of the deal.
Bingo. Duhon didn't shoot well at the camp but as a point guard I'd take him any day to T up Yao's shots.
With the 55th pick, the Houston Rockets draft a guy who can hold a basketball while standing upright on the court without assistance...
If Rudy T were in charge, we'd use this pick on Brian Boddicker. Personally, I would like us to take another PG to challenge Mike Wilks for the backup spot next season. Someone like Lionel "The Superintendent" Chalmers from Xavier. Also, it would be cool if Andre Emmett fell into our laps as well. Just as long as we don't take some Eurotrash who will never get his Green Card.
http://www.**************/articles/chicago_rodecker5.htm From Hoops Hype: A lot of gym buzz late in the week focused on David Young, an unheralded player who reportedly rained shame on Kirk Snyder in a Seattle workout recently. Young, a one-time Xavier player, finished up his college career at North Carolina Central in fine fashion. Known as D.Y., he may have originally been part of the workout schedule to push other players. But after the Snyder bashing, he’s continued to climb on several NBA teams list. Already he’s had solid workouts for the Lakers, Wizards and Rockets. One GM, choosing to remain anonymous, suggested that he may be drafted between 38 and 50. There are reports that the Spurs, Pistons and Heat may all bring him in, and Seattle wants another look. Young is a 80 percent free-throw shooter who hits for nearly 40 percent from long distance. He’s a mystery player and has captured a lot of attention as the draft draws near.
lets pick up Bill Murray... I'm pretty sure he has good passing skills in the post.. to mj in space jam
Here are some of the guys we've worked out...I see a constant theme... MAY 24th Brad Boyd (6-6 SG) Louisiana Lafeyette (SR) David Hawkins (6-4 SG) Temple (SR) Michael Morandeis (6-5 SG) Colorado (SR) David Young (6-5 SG) North Carolina Central (SR) MAY 20th Ricky Minard (6-4 SG) Morehead State (SR)
No, no theme. The Rockets and all players work out a ton of players at all positions. And, they tend to look at them in groups, in my recollection.
All this talk about Chris Duhon and his background w/ Duke, he might get hyped up to go higher than #55.
