    I don't care one way or the other with the center we draft. If keep multiple picks I'd prefer to see the team finally try to draft one though. Tired of watching someone else do it and then overpaying for a FA.

    Well first of all, Camby was great with us toward the end of the season, and wants to retire here. The Rockets would be desperate for a center without him. Hence he will more then likely be resigned by Houston.

    Secondly the issue of gaining weight with Henson, I don't think is that big of an issue. I mean we have Camby as an example, in college as a JUNIOR he weighed in at 223, but eventually gained enough weight to become a factor inside. If Henson can eventually get to around 235-240 that he can become more than effective big inside. Kinda like a McGee or D.Jordan, but with a better head on his shoulders.

    As for Henson's position I don't care which one he plays, I mean the 4 and 5 in today's NBA is pretty interchangeable. I mean there's only a handfull of true center's, and an even smaller amount that can post up. Now what I like about Henson is his ability to protect the rim. He has rare combination of length, quickness, athleticism to go along with shotblocking instincts that can intimidate opponents from attacking the rim. IMO he has DPOY talent, definitely someone worth targeting in the draft.
