    According to Fox Sports in Houston, forein player Boston (sp?) Nachbar had a tremendous workout for the Rockets today. He said he feels his game compliments the Rockets' up-tempo game and would like to play here.

    No comment from the coaches or CD, but he seemed like a very personable kid.

    This could turn into a EPIC draft with the additon of Ming and Nachbar. And with the 38th selection I would turn a flip if somehow Roger Mason Jr. would slip

    I have said all along I thought Nachbar was a natural fit for the Rockets. I would normally be very excited but I have a hunch that Washington is going to take him at #11. I hope I am wrong.

    I don't want to sound negative but this just makes it more difficult when Nachbar is not there at the 15th spot.

    I don' see him there. he is too good. Unless some teams are just thinking to fill a position but if you are looking best available he will be gone.

    the only team I see taking a real hard look at him above us is Washington.

    Clipps - no unless they trade ...
    Milwalkee - no
    Indianna - mebbe, have no clue who they'll pick, but they are stacked at the 3 ...

    Unless Indiana thinks he could play the 2 and replace Miller

    Our chances at getting Nachbar are looking bleak. Washington is calling him in for a 2nd work out. I think they are about to rob us of the second coming of Peja.

    Now assuming best talent is taken in order, we might miss out on Nachbar. So I put together a subjective list of best available talent. What exciting is the Rockets are positioned to still pick-up someone decent at the 15th.

    1. Yao Ming
    2. Jay Williams
    3. Caron Butler
    4. Nic Tsk
    5. Michael Dunleavy
    6. Nene Hilario
    7. Chris Wilcox
    8. Dajuan Wagner
    9. Jared Jeffries
    10. Drew Gooden
    11. Bostjan Nachbar
    12. Kareem Rush
    13. Qyntel Woods
    14. Jeri Welsh
    15. Amare Stoudemire
    16. Curtis Bochardt

    By the way, I havent written off Glen Rice as a contribitor this season. And if ToMo has any pride at all, he also should be ready to step-in and contribute.
