    If he grows out his goat we'll draft him. That goat is just barely showing. He's got to grow some before the draft.

    I doubt it. Dude's edge-up is seriously jacked up. Everyone knows that future Rockets have to look CLEAN.

    Griffin, Head and Florida Gators soph, 6-8 SF, Corey Brewer.

    He has not shown any interest of coming out and FWIW, his is likely coming out in a year or two (unless he has VY kinda game on Monday).

    See him below with 'fro

    I guess your saying the Rockets drafted a Head and a Head Case; what's the connection to the Florida player?

    Actually, he sounds like the exact type of player the Rockets need. Great defensive player who is a nice set shooter which we need to beat the double teams that Yao and Tmac give you.

    From ESPN:

    Draft Projection: Lottery to mid-first round

    Similarities: Tayshaun Prince

    Positives: Long, lanky swingman with great size for the two. Good athlete. Has the rep as a defensive stoper. Long arms allow him to be a very tough defender. Gets a lot of steals. Excels in the open court, excellent finisher in transition. Good motor and pretty unselfish. Decent set shooter, especially from 3-point range though he's been very inconsistent in that department this season. Good on the offensive boards.

    Negatives: Still figuring out how to shoot off the dribble. Needs to add strength to his thin frame. Ball handling is just fair. Injuries have hurt his production in the second half of the season.

    Summary: An excellent tournament has helped Brewer's stock. The comparisons to Detroit's Tayshaun Prince seem dead on. Brewer is a long, athletic swingman who's an efficient scorer on the offensive end and a nightmare, because of his length and athleticism, on the defensive end. Several weeks ago, Brewer said he wouldn't declare for the draft because he wasn't a lock for the lottery. But two things may sway him to go pro. One, if Noah and Horford decide to declare, Brewer may decide to join them on the parade out of town. Two, given his play of late, the lottery looks more in reach than ever. If he can prove to scouts that his shooting woes were an aberration, Brewer will be a candidate for the late lottery, though some see him as more likely to go in the middle of the first round. s with Noah and Horford, another year in school would certainly benefit Brewer's game -- but, coming off the NCAA title game, will his draft stock ever be higher?
