ClutchFans Rockets Draft Thread (Rockets select Luther Head at 24)

I'm guessing this is the Rocket's wish list:

1. Luther Head
2. Kennedy Winston
3. Jarrett Jack
4. Francisco Garcia

No PF pick. Maybe a trade for Darius Miles or Ruben Patterson?

Come on guys I dubsed Gelabale way back on the first page so I could be the only one. I wanted to be singularly recognized as an evil genuis when his named is called tonight at #24 only then to be reviled moments later as the jinx that has cursed the Rockets with Boki II.

 

Yes, ESPN radio will be carrying the draft live.

Ersan Ilyasova, the 6-9 small forward from Turkey, cancelled a workout Monday with the Houston Rockets, and the belief is he has been promised by some team that it will select him.

Speaking of the Rockets, even though they need a power forward, they will take the best player available at No. 24. Not the best prospect – the best player. They want someone who can come in and contribute immediately.

Of course the writer says all rumors uncomfirmed.

 

My hope is for CJ Miles. He has great size and good strength. Can really, really shoot and has good post up moves. A high-schooler who can be special in 3 years. Plays under control and can create shots for himself

I hope hes available. 6'6 is ideal for a two-guard.

Marty Burns was just on ESPN radio and he was asked to pick a sleeper in the late first/ 2nd round who could turn into a great player. He picked Luther Head, then Salim Stoudamire.

 

Yeah, let's get Diaw, that Gelable kid, and Turiaf and then we can call our bench "The French Connection".

 

Aran Smith of nbadraft.net says the Blazers have promised to take Webster at 6 and GS has promised to Diogu at 9. He also says Gereld Green will be taken by the lakers at 10. Maybe CD can try to acquire a pick before and steal Green and keep him home.

 

I'm changing mine to trade back. Then drafting... ????????

 

CD was just on Channell 2 and said he worked out 65 people since April. That a lot so they must have done their homework.

 

Ike mother****in Diogu!!

 

JUST GOT THE SCOOP


JVG pulls a shocker and drafts Andray Blatche(6-11 H.S Phenom) Gundy came away from the Jordon Classic very impressed when the high school kid walked away with MVP Honors. His stat line was 26 pts. 16 rebs. 2 ast. 2 blk. on 12 of 17 fg. He and CD envision being versitile enough to run a fast break or execute the half court game. His position is somewhere between the 3-4, but could see spot minutes at the 5.

bottom line- great talent from the perimeter that need to hone his post skills and gain strength to be effective in the post.

best case- SAR
worst case- Eddie Griffin(minus the headaches)

 

Did you get that scoop from www.nbadraft.net ?

 

Sounds good. Eh?

Free agency and trades! WOOOO Exciting

 

so far this is how the draft looks:

1 Mil Andrew Bogut (C)

2 Atl Marvin Williams (SF)

3 Uta Deron Williams (PG)

4 NO Chris Paul (PG)


20 more to go for houston...

 

Wow, somebody actually knew something.

 

no, actually I got it from Dion.
