    I mean people don't exactly get excited when you say the name "Jason Collier" .Is their any rookie that can contribute enough to be recognized for this team this year? Dan Langhi has looked good from what Ive seen , But we aren't going to be putting the game in his hands any time soon .And who was that other guy we drafted?? yeah that pretty much says it all no one even knows who he is

    Yes I am, I think we have got at the least two very good role players that will except that without complaining about it.

    But we also have the chance that we will have another "Mobley". Remember the people that took these two also picked Mobley.

    I'm definitely excited about Langhi.

    Right now, I have mixed feelings about Collier. If he performs well and shows a lot of promise/potential during preseason then I'll get excited about him also.

    I am excited about both.

    I saw Langhi shoot the ball lights out, and even though Collier did not do great in the RMR, he set picks and ROLLED to the hoop.

    That shows B-Ball smarts.

    I am excited about the Rockets PERIOD !!

    It's always exciting having new players!! I'm pretty excited about Collier, should be great if he develops into a good backup (ala Doleac or Brad Miller) - and Langhi is REALLY exciting!

    I'm extremely excited about our picks.

    I think Joel Przybilla and Eduardo Najera are going to KICK ASS!
