Will Conroy (Washington) is a Rockets Summer league roster PG addition http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/huskymensbasketballblog/2009390645_notes_from_mori.html
http://www.realgm.com/src_feature_pieces/802/20090626/realgm\s_draft_grades_for_2009/ via realgm Rockets: I think Daryl Morey's advanced statistical measurements works much better for players that have logged NBA minutes than collegiate or foreign players, but I have a lot of faith in the way they evaluate talent across the board. Taylor looked like a late second round player to me, but he is a good scorer in transition with good athleticism, so he could quite easily fill that Von Wafter type of roll for them. He isn't the most confident player in the world, though he did average 26.2 points per game. Sergio Llull has some potential at point guard and is agile and athletic, but I don't see anything special in his skills to warrant the 34th pick. Chase Budinger was thought of by many as a lottery pick as a freshman and now he goes 44th in a supposedly weak draft; Thursday must have been a difficult night for a guy who was the third banana of the McDonald's All-America Game that featured Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. I think he's a victim of playing for three coaches in three years, and an unrealistic set of expectations. Joe Alexander went 8th overall last year and there is not 36 picks separating those two players. He is a very good athlete despite the short arms and is also a really good shooter. Budinger can also handle the ball a little bit, so Houston is a great fit for him and he should stick. Grade: B-
Are there any players who went undrafted who should have been picked? Some information and analysis would be appreciated.
