    Why don't the Rockets go after Tyson Chandler from Domingeuz High.
    I think once he beefs up, he'll be another Garnett type. I say get him, even if we have to give up something for him. Having 3 picks in the 1st round don't add up to much, why not trade them for a chance at a wild card. I think it's worth it.

    Nothing about Chandler impresses me. I think he is overrated and will be the bust of the draft. If your talking about the next Kevin Garnett look at Kwame Brown, that guy is AWESOME! Anyway, what are the chances of Rudy and CD taking a high schooler, especially if they have to move up to get him.

    RocketFan007 is right,Kwame Brown can become the next Kevin Garnett,what really intrigues me is the ball handling ability for a man of his size.

    Tip to new posters: don't say anyone you haven't seen play sucks. We have had people posting from Spain saying he's better now than Nowitzki was when he played in Europe. And the 11 points per game? Not that bad when you consider he just plays 23 minutes. Give him a chance.

    Also, building on what The Cat said, lets not be so quick to build up or break down players most of us haven't seen. Kwame Brown, for instance, what I have seen of him and what the sources I use say about impresses me. But to the masses, there were only 2 chances to see him and both were in televised All-Star games. Two games, especially all-star games, are not enough to evaluate a player. The best way to evaluate a high school player is through watching his actually high school games and AAU games, where players are actually playing like normal folks. The no defense, hidden agenda, slam dunk spectacles that define all-star games give absolutely no incite into a player. So with guys like Tyson Chandler, Kwame Brown, and the rest, our evaluations mean virtually nothing. The only high school player that I can give a fairly accurate scouting report on is Eddy Curry, simply because I have seen portions of about 10 of his high school games, not including his all-star game appearances.

    I think for the most part we need to calm down about claiming any player being the next Garnett. Once we have some news filtering about their personal workouts, then maybe we might be able to make some decent claims. Until then, our judgments are full of hot air regarding these high school and foreign players.
