    Well, the tournament ended yesterday. The MVP of the tournament was, you guessed it, Kyle O'Quinn!:grin:

    The player measurements.

    http://www.draftexpress.com/article...ational-Tournament-Measurements-Released-3891
    Well to recap, i started off wanting to see O'Quinn, Jorge Gutierrez and Casper Ware. Ware did not participate( for whatever reason ), O'Quinn was named MVP of the tournament and Gutierrez's team won the championship by beating O'Quinn's team.:grin:
    O'Quinn finished the tournament averaging 12pts, 12rbs, 4blks. Gutierrez had an ok time with 7pts, 3rbs, 4assists.
    Anyway, i came away with two more gems to look out for.
    Rakim Sanders averaged 19pts and 9rbs in the tournament( as i mentioned before ).
    Henry Sims averaged 14pts, 9rbs, 2blks. Sims is currently in a few draft mocks.

    Other notable players tournament averages:

    Jesse Sanders: 5pts, 4rbs, 5asst
    Jet Chang: 13pts, 2rbs, 2asst
    Kim English: 18pts, 4rbs, 4asst
    JaMychal Green: 19pts, 10rbs

    Kyle O'Quinn's performance in the PIT is starting to pay off. He has skyrocketed up 10 spots from #28 in the second round to #18.

    Henry Sims and Kyle O'Quinn are interesting 2nd round prospects, not to mention they both measured fantastic.

    There is some definite 2nd round gems this year, hopefully the rockets can some how buy a 2nd rounder this year.

    So much of that depends on what they do with the rest of their roster. They currently have little/no room for a second round pick, with (currently) three rookies slated to join the team (Moti, #14 pick, #16 pick). While, of course, I see the Rockets making multiple moves, I wouldn't just assume they're hunting for second rounders this year.

    Ideally, they can package assets (including both? first rounders) to move up in the draft and then maybe trade for a pick in the 35-40 range if a guy they have graded as a first rounder falls (a la Taylor, Bud and Parsons).
