[ClutchFans] Lucky Seven: 7 Draft Targets for the Houston Rockets

Thanks Clutch, good writeup, and loved the comments about Biyambo.......

Any thoughts on Jeremy Tyler?

We do need 2 do a trade for a veteran 2 nite I still like da asik trade if dey include both der first rounders

 

If the Rockets stay at the 14th pick, I would love for Klay Thompson or even Alec Burks to fall into our hands. Though we need a SF and a Center, we can trade or sign one in the offseason. I think its best for this team to draft the best player available and not draft for needs.

It never turns out good for a team when they draft base on needs instead of drafting the best player available. BTW, Biyombo hasn't done anything to prove he's worthy of a high pick. Sure he had one great game at the Nike Hoops but that isn't enough to guarantee he will turn out to be a good player.

 

Biyombo sounds a lot like thabeet..:could be a huge block machine, but will have early problems with fouls and is a mystery

 

I don't want Yonas Vahlahnchewnahs because I can't pronounce his name.

 

Thanks for the insite.

don't follow alot of College or international ball

 

My fears with Biyombo is that so much of his reputation is riding on that triple double (with blocked shots) in the Nike Hoop Summit. It reminds me of when Kelvin Cato had the same kind of triple double in the preseason and we rewarded him with a monstrous contract - and then never saw him play up to that again.

 

Hey Clutch, what about Jan Vesely? An atheletic 3 with serious length - how does he stack up against Leonard and Singleton?

 

Thx Clutch for posting that Biyombo vid. I suppose its in the Draft forum.

That just got me excited, too. What excites me is he was so actively moving with a purpose and seemed to understand defensive positioning, instinctively...at some points telling his teammates where to go. And wow on the ability to read rebounds. Those are true bball skills and IQ. He looks very coachable...and a gym rate with a love for the game.

His enthusiasm for the game and teammates looks to be up there with Jonas V.

 

Biyombo supposedly has a red flag on his back, and now contract issues with his Spanish team.

Morey trying to drive down his value?

 

Keep an eye out for Kenneth Faried. Would be another Morey headscratcher but I really like the kid.

 

Kenneth Faried is Paul Milsap, completely. That's not bad in this draft.

 

Interesting cause yahoo is reporting that it is Tristan Thompson Charlotte is after, and therefore, we'd have a chance at Biyombo at #8.

I'm not excited about the marcus Morris speculation.

 

as long as he keeps working out i say we'll see him alot in the season

 

Wow it looks like another deadline comes with lots and lots of talk and not a lot of action. It's probably just coincidence but it seems no one wants to deal with Morey anymore. Man I hope he pulls something off. I am not excited about anyone at 14. I guess project Donatas is as good as anyone left.

 

Biyombo sounds like he is being locked in at #5 by Toronto.

Cleveland is still going back and forth about Valanciunas. He might be good but buyout and not coming over next year might force them to look elsewhere to show the fan base they want to show progress next season, not sit and wait until he decides to come over.

 

Karnisovas said he's watched all of Brad Newley's games this season with Rytas. Rytas happens to be Valanciunas's team.

 

Wow Marcus Morris. Looks like the article totally missed that one!
