    Raef Lafrentz would make a great backup to Yao Ming after he is bought out next year.

    Wasn't he considered a Top Five pick last year? The new Terrence Morriss...

    Um whats the debate? If freakin ROY HIBBERT of HAKEEM THABEET are available at pick 25 or whatever pick the rockets get you take them there is no debate because they should be off the board already.

    He would be a great addition if he were available at 25. He definitely will slide after a poor tournament showing last season and the fact that many freshmen are declaring. Hopefully he will slide enough for the Rockets to draft him. He can make a great backup and eventually take over after Yao retires.

    He can join the Noah and Duhon "wish I'd declared a year earlier" club.

    Roy will be long gone by the time we pick.

    He'll still go top 10.

    According to draftexpress.com, Roy Hibbert just shot up the ranks. What gives? You can't train for height.

    I had this guy for fantasy bball last year. He filled the rotational spot (no homo). There could be worse centers out there.. but he damn near makes that list.
