    No way he slides to us, and no way morey trades up for him.

    Love this guys high basketball IQ. The whole offense is ran through him. Refreshing to see such a polished player coming out of college. I don't think he's going to be a star but I think he will have a nice long nba career.

    Zero lateral quickness. Adam Morrison could shoot lights out as well.

    If McDermott is still on the board when Rockets pick, have to take a chance on him.
    He has potential to be as good as Kevin Love, or end up just another Chris Mihm.
    Either way, worth the investment.

    With McD out early, his stock will take a hit.

    Way to slow and unathletic for the NBA.

    I'm sure there's a roster spot available for a poor man's Kevin Love.

    Baylor made him a virtual non-factor tonight.

    Creighton shot 40%, 20% from 3, and only 9 free throw attempts.
    I'd say they made virtually the whole team a non-factor.

    He just looked goofy out there.

    Hard to judge from one game against quasi-NBA length and athleticism, but he looked short and slow last night. He'll probably be available when we're on the board.

    And if he is available when the Rockets are up, they should pass on him. Last night's game convinced me that he'll be a bust in the NBA.

    His offensive game is nothing like Chandler Parsons.

    Rockets don't need a scoring, no defense player, especially at the 4-spot. We've already got Jones and DMo.
