    Thanks, but there wasn't really much about the draft. Only the status of Yao and Scola. Sorry to disappoint fellas.

    Didn't even discuss potential draftees but nice find nonetheless.

    Don't really understand why they call that a "draft" preview when they didn't even speculate on what the Rockets could or should do in the draft. :confused:

    That was more of an offseason preview.

    They didnt preview the draft for the Rockets at all. All they did was talk about the team and whether the players will be back..

    I see mock drafts all the time, but like most people here, I'm not at all certain that we're staying at #14. So, it's hard to get excited about whom we might take there.

    yea nothing too insightful .. also I think we need to draft a slashing 2 guard more so than another big man. Well that also all hinges on what our options are for Jordan Hill who is that athletic big man we need. I dont think anyone in this draft at our position (ie: Whiteside) can offer more potential than say Jordan Hill. And doesnt look like we will get Bosh but who knows. Cant wait till July 1st! :)

    That was actually straight up shameful coverage. Will Yao be back? Of course he will. Will Scola or Lowry be back? Morey has already said he'll match any offer. They didn't even mention that.

    At midnight CST (in half an hour) they are going to do a SW division draft preview, I think it's the exact same segment.

    I'd be happy if either Scola or Yao fell to us at 14.

    Last Year's NBA.com draft preview was exactly the same for theRockets. They spoke about Yao and T-Mac and the possibility of them returning for the 09/10 season.
    This draft preview is equally as useless.

    I seen this on NBA tv not to long ago.

    They didn't really ever take about the possible guys we could be drafting but like someone that posted before me, all they really talked about was Scola and Yao. But dam if Yao is gone...


    rebuild. :(

    Wow UK has 5 guys projected to go in the 1st round? Damn. Obviously the recruiting is somehow illegal, but all this state has is UK basketball, so, meh, look the other way.
