    Tied record for points in a game in D-League. 51 tonight for the Utah D-League team, the Flash.

    18-35 shooting 3-7 threes 12-16 fts

    Still makes me mad how Rockets pass on this kind of talent. Especially the hometown guy.

    Ummm....he was drafted BEFORE the Rockets had a chance to get him. Aaron Brooks was the best we could get at 26.

    They could have traded Yao for him.

    It is better if you talk it out. Holding it inside is bad for your emotional well-being.

    If Almond was still available I wouldn't be excited about the pick.

    Sam Mack wasn't that good - he should not be rated greater than anyone.

    He was serviceable - he had more play in the NBA because of our poor scouting (back when we were making folks like him and Matt Maloney stars).

    not true at all. mo will prove you wrong.

    ronnie brewer is looking pretty inspiring right about now too. something about whoever i want the rockets to draft makes them land in utah. they have alot of young pieces that they could move, but i doubt they pull the trigger on anything substantial. between the light contracts of millsap, brewer, almond, preposterous jazz rockets trade proposals seem inevitable. too bad the kind people of utah wouldn't put up with any of our knuckleheads.

    Let me reiterate.

    Sam Mack > Morris Almond (and I ain't praising Mack)

    Almond is a rookie and hasn't had a chance to play yet. How can you make your judgement?

    16 free throws I guess the d-league uses cusa refs too.

    I am Nostradamus of judging talent. Check out the thread where I predicted Durant's output to a tee. :p
