    From last year's official <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=188205">NBA Draft Thread</a>:

    Not much has changed.

    The NBA Draft is less than 24 hours away -- Thursday night, June 23rd 2011, starting at 6pm Central time and televised on ESPN. The annual monster chat for Rockets fans in the <a href="http://www.clutchfans.net/chat.cfm">ClutchFans chat room</a> will also kick off at the same time, 6pm, with the selections starting to get underway around 6:30pm. I'll be checking in from the Toyota Center...

    Really wanna draft Biyombo but I doubt he'll still be at #14, or I hope we can move up in the draft for someone better.

    Not sure why, but I feel more excited about this year's draft than usual, even though the prospects aren't supposedly as good. I think it is because of the new era and increased likelihood that a move is made. I'll be happy with anyone Morey drafts, but in particular Marcus Morris or Donatas Montiejunas. The only way I will be disappointed is if we try to trade up, fail to, and then miss out on the target(s) we were after.

    This. No other player in this draft. Only him and maybe Irving if he's going to be a cp3 type of player.

    I'm sad for you. Here's to hoping we trade up and draft Enes Kanter! Another wildcat on the Rockets! Haha

    Williams is going to be a Gerald Wallace type at most.

    Kanter, should be a much better prospect.

    I'm hoping I'll get a text update from someone who loves me when the Rockets make their pick or a trade.

    A lot of teams are going to seriously regret passing on the greatness of Kemba Walker. The Pistons in particular.

    Kemba reminds me a bit of another small point guard... Allen Iverson... but with less attitude (edit: and a little less speed - more passing). Draft him high in the first round and that attitude will grow to his detriment.

    He can score... that is definitely not in doubt. I just can't forgive him for his part in beating UK. ;)
