    As for the Chad Ford draft grade where he said that newly wouldn't even want to come here, I think Newly thinks pretty highly about us. :D

    After finally seeing him and his huge enthusiam i'm "stoked" as he is. I wish he could get on the team this year to imrove his skills more and adapt to the NBA rather then next year. Now that we finally have a coach who will develop rookies, he could have a shot at a little playing time his first year.

    The guy will give his all to make it to the next level, that I have no doubt about.

    I still have my doubts about if he can step up to the NBA level but it won't be because of the lack of hard work or enthusiasm. As an aussie I hope he can suprise us all and we see him in suiting up for the Rockets in the future :cool:

    Hopefully the Rockets ask him to go to Europe, Yes I would love to follow his progress more closely in the NBL but for the Rockets I believe the best option for Brad would be to try and develop his game at a higher level and Europe will do that better than here in Australia. Also with him gone the Perth Wildcats will have an easier job facing Adelaide :D

    No kidding, Chad definantly had some real inside information on this one. :rolleyes: I didn't see one player in the draft as excited as Newly was, and he wasn't even close to a lotto pick.

    Yeah, I think Newley is expected to play in the summer league. But, much like Eliyahu, he'll play overseas next year.

    I prefer this setup. Having Badianne, Eliyahu and Newley all playing overseas gives us a nice crop of international talent to let grow into more NBA-ready talent. I don't expect anything from Badianne, but Lior and Brad could be contributors down the line.

    Great vid! Even nothing else the Rocks should send 'em to Austin, so we can see him on the Toros and he can get his feet wet , eh?

    Sure would be great if he could 'wow' us with some great b-ball skills. He seems like a good kid, and I'd love to see him make it big in the NBA.

    You gotta root for a guy with that kind of attitude. I hope he makes it.

    DOH! Nevermind, looks like the Spurs bought the Toros so I guess they are no longer a Rocksts affiliate. :(
