    Curious how Shams's "Wildcat is coming" plays out. It's almost a codbomb-type comment. There are a few candidates: Mathurin, Sheppard, Isaiah Jackson, and TyTy.

    The Clippers drafted a player from Northwestern who are the Wildcats.

    Good catch. I missed that Martinelli was from NW. Not sure if the Clippers are done dealing or not, as their roster is more unclear than ours.

    Hope these players can make a positive impact on the organization. Not bad Rockets!

    It will be Stone’s legacy if he doesn’t adapt.

    Giving up a draft pick for cash is cheap!

    Just another ho-hum draft from the Rockets. They aren't very good at this drafting thing. At all.

    The last pick of the first round? Silence can be golden, Mr. Peat.

    Which undrafted player are you most interested to follow?

    Oscar Cluff, who is going to play summer league with the Houston Rockets, should eventually be worth a two-year deal.

    I don't totally understand the general lack of interest in him: He's physical, productive, 6-foot-11 and the league is clearly tilting back toward teams valuing good bigs. Think of Cluff as a player similar to Jonas Valanciunas or an Aron Baynes-type who could eventually have value as a niche role player off the bench. I irrationally enjoyed watching him last season at Purdue, where he averaged 10.6 points and 7.5 rebounds.
