I just hope we dont have to take that guy back from the Wizards that got caught with the police prostitute. Courntey Lee should be pretty good. I have been tied between him and CDR. My ideal scenerio would be that we get to draft them both!
Did one of you guys ask this question? Good one. *** Houston, TX: Is Brandon better than his brother and if you had a choice between CDR, C Lee and Batum who would you pick. Jonathan Givony: Between those three, it all depends on the type of team I have. Batum is more of a small forward to me, and clearly has the best upside, he's the most athletic, he has the best wingspan, the best potential on defense. But I really like Lee, I think he's polished, versatile and can step in and help a team off the bench right away, and he's going to do whatever it takes to improve. If the Wizards trade the 18, he could go there, at 22 for the Magic, or at 25 to the Rockets. Douglas-Roberts will have to make some adjustments -- expand his range, play better without the ball, play better defense. But I think he has the confidence and toughness to overcome his lack of athleticism and become a solid NBA player. And yes, Brandon is better than either of his brothers.
If we're moving all the way up to 18th i'd rather wait and see if any Green Room invites or lotto picks slip out of the lottery then snatch them up there.
if Lee is taken @ 18 then something is up. if the rockets pick up chalmers at 25 then u can put 2 and 2 together.
That would be sweet to move up AND move Head to a playoff contender, win/win. I hope it's true. I hear Lee is good, and less of a risk than Batum/CDR. This also helps the Wiz because then Orlando can't take him and get better.
The comparisons of Courtney Lee to Anthony Parker really make me like this kid. Parker would be the PERFECT addition to this Rockets team. Good shooter, decent defender, can hit the open shot, can feed off of teammates. No major weaknesses to his game. Heck, the "Worst Case Scenario" for Lee on DraftExpress.com was Thabo Sefalosha. I'll even take that.
Hey! NBADraft has Washington taking Donte Green at 22? So if this scenario is true about Houston jumping to 18 with the Luther trade to Washington, why would we not pick the better player in Donte Greene versus picking Courtney Lee? http://www.nbadraft.net/
If this deal does come into fruition, Morey would have to decide which player type he thinks the Rockets would benefit in the future and present. Donte Greene is a high upside, project player while Lee is ready for the NBA.
Ok did we not learn from this so called "Risk" theory???? Rudy Gay was suppossed to be a huge risk! Remember??? Now look at him puttin up big numbers in Memphis! The Late not Great Eddie Griffin was suppossed to be filled with everything we needed in a power forward and we passed on Richard Jefferson and Rashard Lewis and look at them now puttin up nice numbers for other teams! Drop the so called "Risk Theory" and go with truth! If a guy is good then he is good......draft the best slasher scorer most athletic guy available at the time and move on.
Rockets/Wizards Draft Day Trade? I've been hearing the Rockets send the 25th pick and Luther Head to the Wizards for the 18th pick. The Rockets are looking to pick Courtney Lee.
where are you hearing it's almost a done deal? if so, this is bad news for all those who shun hoopsworld
