ClutchFans Rockets Draft Thread (Rockets select Luther Head at 24)

Greatest thread I've seen......t-bag

pook

 

I think the rockets will be hard pressed not to choose a talent like Taft is if he is still there when the rockets are on the clock. I saw some clips of him and came away very impressed. I also like Jason Maxiell even though he is undersized abit with a very long reach ie. just liked the hyped up Ike Diogu. Maxiell is a phenomonal athlete and the best defensive 4 in this draft. Would love Charlie Villanueva as well and then their is Johan Petro with sick athletism for a 7 footer. The rockets are definetly going to get a very good player out of this draft that probably will help them right away.

 

I like Ike!

 

Now thats funny I dont care who you are!

 

I'm not sure why everyone is making such a big deal about Simien and Diogu being undersized. They are the exact same size as Brand when he came out, both Simien and Diogu had better stats than Brand.

If Simien or Diogu are somehow still on the board, then we'd have to go w/ then. I'd pick Simien and Diogu over Taft.

 

I'm all for some dude named HAKIM.

 

Chad Ford is reporting that the Pacers, Celtics, Grizzlies, Rockets, Pistons and Heat are in the mix for drafting Luther Head. Thats in his recent draft rumor blog at the very end.

 

Luther Head was off the charts in the Chicago combines. Kinda reminds me of Mobley.

 

What are the chances of the Rockets trading up and getting Warrick? He is my semi-pipedream #1 pick.

 

It would be nice to get Hakim Warrick, but I'll settle w/ Simien.

 

Hakim Warrick or Chris Taft

Francisco Garcia

i will add Charlie Villanueva (this would be my order)

personaly i will check if we stil have chance to take Hakim with the memphis pick (have to be very sure) please a don't want to loose to good guards for a foward that maybe we loose in the end of his contract year and a rookie

Taft is a good pickup for more late first round or a first second round pick

will be nice if we can get three to four draft picks that day to get the players that could help the team and the roster

 

JARRET JACK....i love the way this guy plays he is very passionate and his jump shot reminds me so much of chauncy b-b-b-billups. i would definantly pick him at 24 if we keep the pick unless simien or warrick are still up

 

My order:
Joey Graham(not likely to be available)
Hakim Warrick
Ike Diogu
Jarrett Jack- reminds me a bit of Chauncey Billups
Franscisco Garcia

 

I didnt even see your post and I was thinking the same thing about Jack.

 

great minds think alike but seriously i think the should pick him and i hope they do because i feel he will have a good future in the league

 

I see us picking Simien, and trading up a bit with the 2nd rounder to try to get high enough to pick up Blantche. Maybe get Wells as well.

 

I'm hoping for Diogu.

 

same here w/ Diogu

 

Roko-Leni Ukic

 

Charlie Villanueva
CONNECTICUT | SOPHOMORE | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-10 | WEIGHT: 240 | AGE: 20
Villanueva has the skills of a lottery pick but proved to be a bit lazy and unreliable at UConn. He could go as high as the late lottery or he could slip all the way to San Antonio.
