    No. Do you know what the sucess rate is for picking contributing second rounders in the draft? Very low. Morey has found starters and contributers in the second round (Parsons, Landry, Budinger). You are nuts if you think Morey is bad at finding talent in the second round.

    Lol.

    I feel a little bad for these guys though. Some of them don't have a shot at making this team.

    Budinger wasn't a high 2nd rounder.

    I understand we have a lot of 3's and 4's at the moment, but I'm thrilled right now. We got something in return for Lee, and.....

    THIS GUY IS A PLAYER! Been really high on this kid for a while. You guys will see.

    Lol. That's a criticism I haven't heard yet.

    The 2nd round itself is very miss. Our 2nd round drafting has been amazing.

    He was a mid 2nd pick. Which is even more impressive.

    Don't forget our late first round picks like Brooks.

    #1 Lambs playing
    Martin is playing or he's traded for a bad guard contract that will play.

    Bima? How's this work on the big trade tote board?

    As a Purdue/Rockets fan I would love to get E'twaun and JJ.

    I was responding to guy who mentioned getting a high second round pick.

    Players drafted there are meant to stick in the league even if they're nothing more than role players. In that regard the Rockets have a history busting with picks in that range. Morey's drafted two good players and two busts, ie hit and miss.

    Looks like a smoother J.Hill, but probably has no where near the hustle or rebounding J.Hill had.
