    There is a guy on the team named James Harden.
    I don't know if you knew this but he was top 5 in assists this year?
    I don't know if you knew this but Patrick McCaw is a small forward?
    The Rockets took a combo guard with the 46th pick and you still complain. What were you honestly expecting?

    I’m amazed McCoy didn’t get drafted. He’s a throwback center and I think that hurts him in today’s NBA. I really REALLY like him though...

    I'm glad this is over. I can't get excited about the draft. College basketball is mehhh.

    I'll be happier when LeBron makes a decision here in 8 days. (He ain't coming here! ;))

    PS: They put that dumbass awards show on a Monday night?

    Neither of the these picks will give you anything other that Viper Depth. Don't get me wrong I love Morey as a GM (I think he is one of the best in the game), but I will call a spade, a spade. They did not draft like a team trying to make every position count. They did not add depth or take any risk on a player with upside. Hope the rest of the summer is better.

    I’m pissed. We got 2 d league players.

    I was hoping for a International Player so CF would have arguments on next Porzingis and we get some random Croatian poster that claims our pick is the next big star.

    Not a fun night.

    I think you are underestimating both of them. Considering that Houston only had one mid-second round pick Melton falling to us was outstanding. Edwards is a four year player who will have a lot more experience playing big games compared to his peers and he is a 40% 3pt shooter.

    I'm not saying that they are both future Rockets stars, but they have a real chance of being contributing role players for the team in the next 2-3 years. That's definitely worth the relatively small investments for them.

    The Draft is always a boring day as a Rockets fan.

    Calm down everyone. Were y'all expecting MPJ to drop to the 46th? Come on now, be real.

    I would not be surprised if Vince turns himself into a serviceable starter like Ariza.

    Back to McCoy again, because I’m still surprised he didn’t get drafted. He beat up on the number one overall pick of the draft pretty badly this year.
