    hibbert is a big stiff.

    6 rpg in college and he's 7'2 275.

    give me a sleeper like jason thompson or a project like serge ibaka over him any day.

    Man oh man, I hope these people don't have insider info. Hibbert would be a terrible, terrible first round selection. No offense, Roy, but ... oops yeah, I did just insult your offense.

    If it makes you feel better, they had predicted Nick Fazekas and Carl Landry would go to us last year. We have 50/50 odds of not selecting him. :) Or you could say damn, the rockets have a 50/50 chance of targeting Hibbert.

    Wow -- amazing they did predict Landry, especially as we had to maneuver to get him.

    I just hope Morey has figured out why a 7'2" guy gets 6 rpg in college. Maybe Roy had the single worst season of bad bounce luck in history. That's pretty likely.

    Richard Roby? Very athletic? Decent athlete, but nowhere near the ballpark of "great" athlete

    Budringer or Brandon Rush, if they slip. Otherwise we just take the best big available.

    Brandon Rush for sure! He won't really slip as such, he isn't really projected to be that high.

    Brandon Rush!!

    Probably one of the most NBA-Ready players in the whole draft

    Draftexpress seems to think he'll go anywhere from #13 to #17. We're not getting Rush unless we move up. He's been too impressive in workouts.
