Grade the Rockets Draft Performance Tonight

[Rockets Pride]

B+ for DM

[LongTimeFan]

A-

I was hoping for a better pick at 38, but I couldn't be happier with our two 1st rounders. This might be the first time I've actually loved a Morey draft -- maybe that's not such a good thing!

[Sydeffect]

B+ Dumping Miller alone is a B

[treyk3]

I like taking the risk in trading. I'm still not sold on the Morris pick so I'll give it a solid B.

DM messed up to begin with on that, and reacted the next year . good for me.

DONATAS!!!!

[Rockets Pride]

just be half of Dirk

[T-Slack]

I gave them B. But if they had given up the Kincks pick or something other then the Grizz pick I would of gave them a F.

[Joe Joe]

Morris is a good pickup. I was hoping the Rockets could move up, but a decent guy to get. Motiejunas dispels the myth that Moreyball is all about college upperclassmen. Morey went after Motiejunas instead of waiting for BPA. Parsons is a big SF that rebounds. We'll have to see on him.

[Amel]

a B without Flynn, with Flynn a B+

would have been a C+ if we didn't get rid of Miller

[jayhow92]

The trade alone makes the night a B+. Drafting Morris made it an A-.

[meh]

B+

From a pure bang-for-buck standpoint, Morris and Donatas with our current picks plus Memphis pick is nothing short of amazing. Although I liked Leonard better when the 14th pick came, I defer to front office judgement on that one.

That said, I think A is reserved for making a franchise-changing move. Especially since the team is still directionless and starless. So I can't give them them an A. But I am pleased with the overall haul of players. Donatas in particular, I feel can be a franchise-changer. Likelihood may be low, like 5%, but he simply oozes with upside.

[hahachui]

B....
if morris can play SF well...
then it is an A

[ch0c0b0fr34k]

With all the #14 hate, I would think more peopl would be in the C range, but I guess expectations evened out after a good hour to think it over.

I thought it was a solid B myself. Unloaded old guy, loaded young guy, but still in the same spot we're in last year..

[smoothie]

C for drafting morris. another undersized forward who's the BPA. i'm sure he's a fine player with a high motor. nothing wrong with him, just same old pick they always make.

B for dumping miller at the cost of the 23rd pick. good price for getting out of that contract.

B for getting montiejunas for a future first. the future pick, even lotto protected, may turn out better than montie. then again, montie may turn out much better than that pick. still its an above average move.

A for trading #38 for flynn! then reacquiring #38!! lol morey pwns khaaan.

OVERALL B.

[xlr817]

For me an A considering they started to pick #14. I trust Morey & their scouts to pick the players they think would help.

[Shrimz]

morey should play the stock market. A

[Rudyc281]

I don't think parsons will make da team he will b on da vipers doe so wasted picker still got A+ for Marcus and donatas

[Dreamin]

Morey has managed to acquire all the 2009 lottery rejects. We can make an all reject team now that we have Donantas.

PG: Flynn
SG: TWill
SF: Bud
PF: Hill
C: Thabeet

6th Man: Donatas

Reject coach: Kevin McHale.

What the hell is going on?

[Damion Laverne]

Definitely a B.

Not any life-changing moves, but getting rid of Brad Miller's contract was a huge plus!!!!! Very excited about Moti and Morris.
