    I got quite a few, but one that realy sticks out in my mind is Rod Grizzard. I think he will be a great player next year, well not great as in super star but great as in a rookie. Some others I tought of are Dan Dickau, Steve Logan, Frederick Jones, Casey Jacobsen, Frank Williams.

    Someone who could be a bigtime sleeper is Tayshaun Prince, he's got size and good shooting ability. Also he is one of the few true end of game closers in this draft and Kentucky is in a very tough conference.

    I didn`t watch a great deal of CB this year but I did see a couple of stretches of Notre Dame games and Ryan Humphrey really stood out. He took the ball to the hole with authority and blocked several shots and seemed to have very good quickness for a big man(6`8appr. 230 pf). Also, he seems like he plays with a lot of heart. I think he could be a Ruben Patterson, Malik Rose, Corliss Williamson type player. That type of player could really excel coming off the bench with the 2nd team. I would definately give him a look at #38 if he is still there.

    Please Stop right now.....

    The guy averaged 1.1 Blocks per game......

    If you multiplied his block averages by 4 he's just beat out Mr. Okafor from Conneticut

    He's big and he's got size.... that's about all though; so don't hype people who don't even come close to fulfilling that hype.

    Aaron Mcghee, Tayshaun Prince, Kareem Rush, Chris Owens (if he fully recovers from knee injury).

    Bulls10-you have no idea what you are talking about......Christofferson has absolutelty no game other than a big body, he is not athletic, cant move, cant shoot, he sux. James Thomas is 6'8'' and held the guy down in their biggest game of the season. If he goes before the second half of the 2nd round then, well he won't so it doesn't matter.

    Chris Owensis an absolute frreak of nature. If he were an inch taller he would be a late lottery pick. Too bad for CO and the Horns that he giot hurt, he and TJ were quite a dynamic duo

    Listen up... Aaron McGhee from OU will make someone's roster. He'll be a second round steal. I saw this guy play 3x this year and he's big and's got long arms. He presented huge problems for Gooden in 2 matchups. Plus, he's a senior, got his head screwed on straight, and had an outstanding college coach (K.Sampson).

    As much as I hate OU, i got to watch McGhee play about 8 to 10 times this year alone, and he caused tremendous match-up problems for other teams. I don't know if his height will be a factor, but I would love to have him on my team. Very versatile, nice range, solid defense. He seemed to get in foul trouble some in the games I watched, but other than that, he seems like a great sleeper pick.

    I don't know that my three qualify as sleepers, but.....being that international is in and all hip, look for Predrag Savovic from Hawaii to make a considerable contribution for his new team. Ditto with Tito Maddox from Fresno St. If Juan Dixon from Maryland could hit the weights and muscle up, sky's the limit.

    Did I mention, I love this site. Some of the stuff posted is way left field, including my own, but the heart and soul of the Rockets fan base is beyond question, the aim is true, and the integrity beyond reproach. Other teams wish could be so lucky.
