    If we take Clingan over Sheppard I'll truly be so sad

    I don't think I could handle a scenario where we pass on Reed and he turns out to be some all time 3P shooter....for San Antonio

    Rodrick Rhodes appreciation post for bucking the odds. Seriously, though, there are probably only a handful (if even that many) who didn't do well with this criteria. And that's going back to Rhodes.

    What criteria? Sadness? Rhodes definitely fit the bill for that! I had high hopes for him

    Reed, Sarr, Buzelis, Holland, or Castle at 3 and I'm happy. Ignite was a travesty and messed with the value of those 2.

    You know it's gonna happen ... you just know it .... either #1 or #2. lol. At least we'll get some assets for Clingan.

    I hope that my feel for Sheppard's floor as Derek Fisher is right.

    All this tells me is that Sheppard is the safest pick.

    But that at least one other guy will end up better than him and we all be driven crazy by the mob of fans who will claim to to have known all along, that Rockets screwed up, and that everyone should be fired.

    Anyone pushing for Clingan has to be a Spurs fan hoping to screw over the Rockets and hand the Spurs Sheppard all at the same time. Insidious.

    Or a Sengun hater who has been hoping the Rockets will get rid of Sengun.

    It just tells me I hate Kevin O'Connor. lol. He's the guy that had Sarr as #6 on his big board for BR. That fried the rankings. Of course in his mock draft he has Sarr at #2 and Sheppard at #3.

    I can hear the call for Stone's job now... "DAMMIT STONE, YOU LET EVERYBODY KNOW REED SHEPPARD WAS GOOD AT BASKETBALL!!!!" :D
