    Thought this was funny.... Kelvin Sampson on the Rockets draft:

    "Everybody knows that Penn State used to be Linebacker U. I guess USC was Quarterback U. I think we're Four U, aren't we? We always draft the fours. If there's a four available in the draft, look out... the Rockets are coming after you."

    Even an assistant coach takes shots at Morey now.

    Sadly they pick way better whenever it's not a 4...

    Yeah, well... not sure the coaching staff sees it that way when they wanted Zeller last year.

    Well played.

    Relative to where he's picked... not a worse pick.

    Someone always slides... I'm hoping Cody zeller drops to 19-20 considering we own one of those.

    Dang, wasn't Zeller supposed to be the top pick in this draft about nine months ago?

    Wait, I thought it was McHale who had been pushing for us to draft Royce?
