Timberwolves: Wesley Johnson, SF, Syracuse 5. Kings: DeMarcus Cousins, C, Kentucky 6. Warriors: Greg Monroe, C/PF, Georgetown 7. Pistons: Al-Farouq Aminu, PF, Wake Forest 8. Clippers: Ed Davis, PF, North Carolina 9. Jazz: Ekpe Udoh, PF, Baylor 10. Pacers: Xavier Henry, SG, Kansas 11. Hornets: James Anderson, SG/SF, Oklahoma State 12. Grizzlies: Luke Babbitt, SF, Nevada 13. Raptors: Cole Aldrich, C, Kansas 14. Rockets: Paul George, SF, Fresno State
I've seen Paul George as one the players frequent at 14, along with Cole Aldrich. I'm not sure George will make it to 14 though.
If the rockets could pick up an extra developmental big later in the draft, I would be happy with them drafting George.
THERE ARE NO MOREY PICKS!!!! Why do you guys not get that???? Nobody thought; Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, Donte Greene, or Joey Dorsey were "Morey picks". Honestly, nobody even knows what he is going to do except his brass. He picks best players available on his board and that's all there is to it.
as egghead already alluded to, feigen is utterly useless. what a shame that rockets fans are stuck with this crap when it comes to media reporting. **** hearst corporation
The 14th pick will not contribute signficantly to our efforts to get in the playoffs, let alone get pass the 2nd round. Stop focusing so much on the 14th pick, who may average 5 pts and 4 boards a game if that. Also there is only position that will have the ability to do that and that will be at the center spot because that is the only position with minutes available. AB/Lowry Martin/Bud Ariza/Battier Scola/Jeffires Yao/Chuck.... (only Chuck is exposed)
But there ARE Morey picks. They're the ones we all hate when they're made and have to wait until the regular season starts to fully appreciate. Who's highest on the Morey meter right now? Based on the amount of hate each player has accrued from this board up to today, I'd say: 1. Aldrich 2. Cousins 3. Hayward 4. Bledsoe 5. Patterson Who's up on the anti-Morey list due to excess love? My guess: 1. Monroe 2. George 3. Henry 4. Sanders 5. Orton People receiving an equal amount of love and hate from either side: Babbitt, Whiteside, Udoh, Bradley. Dunno what to make of those. So if you want your player to be picked, you had better start trashing them on forums! Move it people.
