The 2009 Draft and the Rockets

Finally got a good one

 

I find it funny that out of all these players, Chase has probably had the most successful career out of all these guys. Just shows you can't build a championship team through drafting alone.

 

Yeah, I know. Bumping an old thread, but:

With the addition of Omri Casspi, the Houston Rockets have at various times held the rights to the following players drafted in the 2009 NBA draft:

#2 Hasheem Thabeet
#3 James Harden
#6 Jonny Flynn
#8 Jordan Hill
#11 Terrence Williams
#23 Omri Casspi
#28 DeMarre Carroll
#29 Toney Douglas
#32 Jeremaine Taylor
#34 Sergio Llull
#38 Jon Brockman
#42 Patrick Beverley
#44 Chase Budinger

This is a total of 13 guys out of the 60 drafted in a year when the Rockets went into the draft with 0 draft picks.

So, which of the remaining class of 2009 players will Morey pick up next?

My best is on #13 Tyler Hansbrough and #15 Austin Daye.

 

Jodie Meeks (41) and Wayne Ellington (28) would be my sleeper picks.

 

Griffin, Hansbrough at one point
