    Huffman is indeed working out with Rocket coaches today. So is Tyrone Washington, the center out of Mississippi State that we drafted in the second round last season. Info on Washington is available in the <a href="http://www.clutchcity.net/feature.cfm?FeatureID=18#twashington">1999 Draft report</a> if you need the memory jogged a bit.

    Watch out Piggie!

    Curious thought: is Tyrone as good as Moises right now? Same athleticism and rawness. Looks like he has the aggression, but not the outside shot. Personally, a PF with an outside shot in college is often an excuse for being soft. One this is for sure, a two-time SEC all-conf 2nd teamer is the same as a Pac-10 first teamer. Plus, he has one year on Moises.


    Here's how he did in Italy. He did well, except it looks like he lost an inch.

    Clutch, any chance in the Rocks trying out that other second rounder, v. Hamilton? You picked him to be better than Tyrone anyway, right?

    Crisco, I don't think he needs a question mark. All his sentences could be construed as assertions. However, he does need a period or a semi-colon between "Huffman" and "he sounds" instead of a comma. Those two clauses are independent and can't be joined by a comma.

    oh, I understand. But if they are all assertions, then where is the question?

    Ay!!

    I give up. My short tenure as the punctuation police is terminated. Long live Juan Valdez and Achebe!

    Pimp: That last post in combination with your sig is hilarious.

    9 more to go HP before you hit the 2K mark!

    I was wondering what happened to those guys. The fact that we still have the rights to them might be useful since we desperately need some big bodies.

    If Washington turns out to be even bench material, that would be a big bonus.

    Any improvement over Pig, Carlos or TMass would be welcome.

    I am most interested in Huffman, he sounds intriguing. I wonder why no other team has picked him up yet.

    Perhaps that answers my question.

    Since you corrected my probly, I think you need a question mark DaDakota. And how is your question answered?

    yes that is correct, unless they come to camp and the Rockets cut him!! Then the Rockets lose his rights.

    Clutch so what happened to Venson Hamilton?
    He was supposed to be better than Kenny Thomas!!!

    Huffman arruved only yeasterday morning to Houston, and 1 hour after his arrivel he had
    practised with 7(!!) more guys and than he was suppused to meet personaly the cohaching staff. Huffman is suppused to fly and work out with the sonics..."

    Where are both of the Hamiltons? Thomas and Venson, If Thomas followed the exact opposite diet of Shawn Kemp then he'd be a good bench player. As for Venson I also thought he'd be a nice backup. I still had Kenny as the best Rocket pick though.

    Swimming for long periods of time in cold water has been scientifically shown to cause Shrinkage, perhaps this is the reason behind the loss of the missing inch.
