Zach Levine could definitely work. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Myt7Hg8s4uw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'll say this, if the Rockets make a move for a 3rd star, they are going to need to supplement the team's depth with low cost players and draft picks is a great way to do that. So, the Rockets could use their 1st and 2nd round picks and keep those players to help off-set the depth lost in a trade for a 3rd star if the team ends up moving out Asik/Lin and perhaps TJones and Dmo.
Can we combined all these 2nd round picks for a decent 1st pick. Unless Morey go oversea and find some gems there. I don't see the Rockets giving up their 1st pick + Asik or Lin in the trade. I think 2nd round pick is more likely. This year's Draft is pretty deep.
Meh. This draft will be like last years. Mostly role players, but good ones. 2013 and 2014 look weak compared to 2012.
Vets, who are on the downside, but still more than capable of filling a role, will be lining up to sign at the league minimum for a shot at a ring.
