Looks like spanoulis is definately gone. Aaron Brooks, LOL. That's a clippers pick. Who was Morey listening to, what was he drinking?
It is plausible that this pick is for Indiana. They need a point guard if they unload Tinsley. I hope we trade the pick for Diogu as rumored.
relax guys, there has to be a trade behind this. if no trade, morey is stupid. but i dont think he's stupid b/c he taught at MIT right?
Got to be a trade. I see NO WAY they pick a PG with 15 already on the roster. Maybe Diogu trade going down and Indy likes Brooks?
67% of ESPN readers say brooks went to high. I remember reading somewhere (I don't remember where) that there was one team (don't remember that either) who was really excited about Brooks. So lets keep our fingers crossed because this didn't meet a need nor was it best talent available.
I didn't watch a lot of college ball this year but Aron Brooks was in a lot of espn highlights. He made a ton of clutch shots. This guy can play no doubt...
Strengths: Brooks is a great outside shooter with NBA range, and his effectiveness is also evident when he’s pulling up off the dribble. Brooks is also a pretty good ballhandler and has nice quickness. He can run a team, and is a solid passer with decent court vision. He plays aggressive defense and does a good job of both staying in front of his man and using his hands to get at the ball. Weaknesses: Brooks is very undersized at 6’0 with a slight build. It shows when he tries to finish at the rim. He also isn’t a true point guard, and his focus and decision-making skills need improvement. Defensively, his lack of size could be used against him in the NBA. Outlook: Brooks isn’t a sure thing to get drafted, and may not even make a team initially because he isn’t your prototypical point guard. Unless he improves on his point guard game, he’s probably more likely to catch on as an undersized scoring guard. Great... Do they allow do-overs?
I agree Turbo This must be a trade in the works or a swap of picks somewhere. Morey was very open about what was going on in the organization and he never mentioned this. I have to say that a trade is in the works for sure. Brooks for Ike?? Brooks n 54 for Ike??
We may be picking for another team who wants brooks, and they will pick Davis for us. Hopefully we swap players who knows...
The Rocket's legacy of screwed up drafts continues. This has to be the stupidest possible pick. An undersized guard, What!? Morey is a complete dufas! What a completely idiotic pick, Absolutely crazy!!!!!!!!! Our team is run by morons!!!!!
we got Tiago Splitter Glen Davis Josh McRoberts to pick from any will fill the pf needs but we got Aaron Brooks?? there better be an explanation, we trading the pick?
