[DX]Draftee James Anderson injured in Rockets workout.

Here's an even better one:

Atlanta promised to take Shelden Williams at 5 in 2006. Who else was available at that point? Oh, nothing much, just...

6. Brandon Roy
7. Randy Foye
8. Rudy Gay

 

I hope its not a ploy because I don't see him as a lottery pick.

 

Rockets trainers strike again .

No one is surprised and "these are the best in the world" ?

 

ouch, that hurts..

 

Are you talking about the same franchise that showed off its brilliance by passing on Chris Paul who wanted---let me repeat that---W A N T E D!! to play for them, selecting Marvin Williams instead?

 

Yeah that was a worse decision, but it didn't involve a pre-draft promise like Shelden had. Basically all the mock drafts beforehand had him to Atlanta because of that fact.

Maybe in the first couple picks it's ok to do something like that, but it really accomplishes nothing, and it's especially stupid if you're in the middle of the draft making promises. Who is to say a special player you had never expected would not fall to your team?

 

No need another injury prone.
