    I for one think we need a PF way more than a SF at this point as some of you may already know....though I don't know if there's going to be a PF available at our pick who's gonna give us the offense in the post we need along with the D and rebounding expected from a legit starting PF. Martin and Fizer will be gone. Troy Murphy and Hanno Mottola just don't seem to be athletic enough to fit this team - that's purely my opinion, I'd welcome someone to tell me I'm wrong, because I only know what I've read about them. Swift's not coming out. E. Thomas and Kambala apparently are not lottery material. What about Jerome Moiso? I've seen him all over the place on various mock drafts, from top ten to late first round. What do you guys know about him? Anyway, who would you all draft if you were drafting for need with the pick (not saying we should)?

    Hard to say until we know where we are in fact going to pick.

    Fizer is my favorite player in the draft and I think he would contribute right away for Houston, but who knows where he will go. Martin will most assuredly be gone unless something else surfaces with his injury or recovery.

    NOOOOOO!!

    No Mateen Cleaves. I don't think he will be a good NBA player at all. Good college game, but does he have the stuff to be a solid NBA PG? His jump shot is sketchy at best. He is on the short side and isn't a savvy offensive player. Defensively he is pretty good. I am not convinced.

    I would draft Mateen Cleaves, then move Francis to the 2 Guard spot. Then, move Anderson to SF, and ship Williams/Drew for a PF.
