    Projected to be late 2nd rounder. Super tall yet very mobile and agile with ok athleticism. Excellant rebounder and can block shots.

    We should pick and stash him overseas(or d-league) to develop. Young promising centers are rare commodities so it's worth a mid to late 2nd round pick.

    He sounds like Thabeet with less blocking and more rebounding/finishing ability. The price is way cheaper and the upside is very good. What's promising is he shows good improvement lately and rebounding skills usually translate well.

    If the Rockets do end up getting a 2nd round pick, they would probably use it to get O'Quinn, Rakim Sanders or Will Barton. I know that Morey has been following O'Quinn since the tourney and Sanders since the PIT, or maybe before.

    Pair him up with Thabeet and you have new age twin towers.

    O'Quinn is very good and will get picked higher. If we somehow get more picks, use one on Dusan Cantekin and he could develop to be a difference maker with his rare combination of size and agility.

    He does have similar standing reach as Cousins.

    With such short arms, the Rockets need to assign an assistant trainer to help with with certain personal hygiene matters. Do not want. Disgusting.

    Now if thabeet can ever show some average work ethic, he'll be a quality player in this league. Imagine a hard working thabeet in late second round.

    I know it's far from certain, but I don't see any sure fire superstar other than Anthony Davis in this draft anyway.
