    I like Ford's offense, but he's so far back on defense I don't know if he'll be able to pick it up in the NBA.

    Did they say whether or not he signed w/an agent?

    I sure hope not.

    Ford did not sign with an agent, leaving open the possibility of returning to school.

    He might not get drafted. Would the rocks consider picking him up as an undrafted FA?

    Could be something special, but could also set the record for Fouls per minute.

    Yeah thats true. I think Geroge Williams will be a better prospect.

    I haven't seen any of his games at UH, but he seemed good in high school.

    But im always biased toward Houston players.

    Who else is excited about seeing Daniel Ewing and TJ Ford do well in college?

    I would be really excited if Eddie Griffin was in a Rocket uniform.

    I'm almost positive he'll pull out of the draft and return to school. If he doesn't withdraw from the draft, then he was one stupid b*stard.

    I wish the Rockets had a second round pick so they could give him a shot.

    The concensus among UH fans is that Alton is just testing the waters. I'll bet he pulls out his name by the June 20 deadline. I also wouldn't be surprised if he declared every year until he projects into the first round.

    Alton has the size and game but needs to work on his attitude. He was a big baby most of the year. He cleaned up his act late and averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds over the last 7 games. He also got into ALOT of foul trouble.

    My guess, if he plays and entire season the way he finished up the last one, he'll be in the NBA in 2002.
