I wanted Giannis but Chad Ford just mentioned that an NBA team assured him and his agent that they'd pick him late in the 1st round.
In my opinion he's the best athlete in the draft. And he can shoot the 3-ball. Big question marks about his attitude though.
My bet is we'll trade up in the draft, but with our 2nd round success, that might be a mistake. Still, I like what I see in this kid - http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kenny-Kadji-1343/ Yeah, he's another PF, but tall enough to play center at times and has NBA 3 range.
Houston, no first round pick, blah blah blah don't tell me, tell SHC. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Dennis Schroeder said he has a workout with the Rockets in addition to Jazz and Bucks.

He still thinks we are getting the 18th pick. Maybe he knows something that we don't. I mean the Rockets are interviewing a lot of first rounders. Is Atlanta considering giving our pick back?
He is also older than Kevin Durant. I don't think we have time to let him develop in the NBA before he's past his "prime". He is also a pretty terrible rebounder.

If you saw the Hinkie press conference, you know the Rockets want to interview players who may not be in their draft range. It's data they can use down the road if they want to trade or sign that player years from now.

This video gives a very accurate picture of Kelly's length, size, speed, quickness, penetration, defensive prowess, blocking ability, lateral quickness, and strong fundamentals. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/t84XOubqGuY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> How many fours do you know who can put the ball on the floor off the pick-and-roll and in a one-on-on iso in addition to running the court? He has size to guard the big 4's and speed to guard the quicker ones. He does lack strength and rebounding ability, but as a future backup power forward, those limitations will be masked. I expect Kelly to add 10 lbs of muscle by the end of his first season, which will help with that.
Reggie Bullock sounds very interesting... I as well think Rockets will package the 33rd pick and a player like Thomas Robinson or T Jones and move up in the NBA draft....Possibly top 20 pick with alot of teams willing to trade their first rd pick this year...
Don't see this. There's going to be a quality swing man available at 34 most likely. If we trade up into the first round it's going to be most likely for a big 5, either Len or possibly somebody like Plumlee or Withey. Odds are too good that somebody like Bullock, Ledo, Rice Jr. drop to us at 34.
