    he would be a solid late round pick. He's going to be a productive nba player. He's got all the tools, size, athleticism, nice touch, good handles, etc etc. If he gets tougher and more aggressive he could really be a top tier type of player.

    Pass, I doubt we need another SF. I think our targets are set on a playmaking project SG or back up C.

    What's our draft position again?

    He would be a very good pick for us late in the 1st round because we need a legitimate perimeter threat. Chase's athleticism and game is perfect for the NBA because he's fast, explosive (vertically), and can shoot with relative consistency. He is not the quickest in terms of foot quickness, but he has good length. He is actually not as bad as people think he is defensively, but he will definitely need to play with a lower center of gravity because he still plays upright too much. Doing so can alleviate some of those defensive drawbacks (see Shane Battier)

    We also can't go wrong with a PF or C. Possibly another PG (that actually distributes the ball).

    I like Buddinger, but I have no idea how he would fit with the Rockets.

    Tested out really well at the combine and it looks like a lot of GM's are moving him the draft board.....

    He can thank Redick and Morrison for that late 1st rounder status. Those guys set American born white players back about 10 years....

    neither Redick or Morisson were athletic enough to play a big role in the NBA

    Could Morrison be successful in our offense?

    Ironically, he says he models his game after Tracy McGrady.......like "the way he attacks basket" (gasp!)
