    That is friggin rough.

    I hope that the Rockets draft him. He has the potential to be a very nice player.

    I was hoping he wouldn't even be an option at 14 -- don't really want to see the Rockets take another undersized four -- but he is talented and if he slides based on that alone, I think you have to take him. Reminds you a bit of DeJuan Blair's situation, though that one was much more serious. Maybe a health/injury scare has him drop.

    Yeah, I don't really like him either. Not that impact, star player that we need. And we're stacked at the 4.

    I don't mind what you are saying about Sullinger,but we don't know the extent of the problem. If it's minor,I don't mind taking him.
    Pau Gasol is talented,but he never wanted to be the Rockets. No need for a guy like that.

    Agree on Gasol. If and only if he wants to be here.

    But Sullinger was the best post player in college basketball last year stats wise. Drummond may get drafted earlier based on potential. T-Rob was pretty good, but Sully was HUGE.

    At worst he is one of the two best big guys in the draft IMO, which would, I think translate to being one of the best bigs in the game 3-4 years from now.

    I would be euphoric if the Rox got him at 14.

    And who doesn't love a big ass?! He can tempt others to guard him in the paint with those cheeks!

    I would get Sully if he is available at the #14 point in the draft.

    I would be absolutely ecstatic if Sullinger fell to 14 and the Rockets took him.

    I think Sullinger will be fine,if he is healthy. Hopefully ,this red flag will be a minor thing. The only thing that may hold him back in the NBA is his average athletic ability. I agree he was better than T-Rob in college. I would probably give T-Rob the nod over Sullinger in the pros.Agree on Drummond,I think he won't amount to much because he doesn't work hard.

    This is going to make it even more difficult for Zeller to make it to #14.

    Why get another SF.I would rather get a solid SG with martin most likely being traded.

    Yes, it will. I also have to admit to being scared to death of the idea of picking another player with documented health issues. Serious health issues. Haven't we been there, done that? I'd rather get someone with a "clean slate," health wise, and if something happens to the guy at some point in the future, ala Sampson, as an example, then it is bad luck. It isn't grabbing a dude in the lottery with a bulging disc.

    If he drops low enough, maybe you take the chance.

    "J.J. Redick's back was red-flagged in 2006. He then responded by going out and getting a DUI. He still got drafted 11th."

    Stay away Morey!

    Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

    No need for Greg Oden 2.0 in Houston.

    Grab him at 16. Two draft picks you can take the flyer on him with the lower draft pick.
