    The NBA Draft is tonight -- Thursday night, June 23, 2016, starting at 6:00pm Central time and televised on ESPN. The Rockets do not have a first round pick (currently) and are sitting at #37 and #43 in the second round.

    Please start a new thread for each individual pick made by the Rockets so fan comments can be focused on that specific player. Thank you!

    The thing with that is.. if you ask 20 GMs where Valentine ranks, they put him in the mid 20s, so that's where we gets ranked. However, it just takes 1 of them to reach for him. Every GM didn't suddenly change their minds on him overnight, because he has way too many red flags.

    Most trades won't be official until July 7th for various reasons, so some stuff might not leak out even if it's very close to happening tonight. Ariza, Beverley, and Brewer all have more than 1 foot out the door. McDaniels and Dekker aren't safe if necessary.

    The only people safe tonight are Harden, Jarrell, Beasley, and Goudelock. Obviously none of Howard, Jones, D-Mo, Smith, and Terry can be traded because they are free agents.

    I want this guy in the second. I have no questions at all that he can be a top of the rotation player on a championship team.

    He didn't seem to concerned about his knee issue. He hasn't had any interruptions during workouts that I know of and he is a lottery player for sure.
