    Cousins is a poor man's Rasheed Wallace in skill but still maintaining that full on headcasedness.

    Guys by the way, if my understanding is correct, we are either picking #14, or #1,#2, or #3. We wont end up in any other slot that those 4.

    But I could be mistaken.

    If I had the first pick I would trade down a slot or two. Although John Wall is a can't miss prospect, I don't think I would draft him for our team... I like our PG combo for the next few years. Turner or Cousins would be my target. I think Turner will have instant impact, and Cousins may be a little behind that but will be dominant in a few years.

    I seldom see Bosh now but did in his rookie year. Bosh seemed to me to be an athletic player with finesse, not a power player. He played more like a tall Small Forward :p

    Coachbadlee.....

    I am fairly certain this is correct, but if I am wrong, please someone clarify.


    Picks 1, 2 and 3 in the lottery are chosen randomly. Picks 4-14 are decided by the order of the teams records.


    So the Rockets could be chosen to select 1, 2 or 3. But if they fail to get one of those three picks, they get 14, no matter what.

    Comparing Cousins to Rasheed Wallace? Please.

    I am sure DeMarcus Cousins is on Morey's radar. He is the perfect backup PF/C for the Rockets.

    Yao / Cousins
    Scola / Hill
    Ariza / Battier
    Martin / Budinger
    Brooks / Lowry

    Perfection.

    John Wall is a poor man's Bryce Drew.

    It really depends on who draft them IMO, if any of this two get drafted by Golden state for example, than forget it no way do they ever realize their potential as big men, given GS guard heavy offense ... However if they were to get drafted or traded to the Rockets, and got to work with the rockets staff & personnel they would have a much better chance at reaching their high potential.

    So basically it comes down to what team is the best situation for them, and IMO Houston is the most Ideal place to develop any of this high potential big men, given the rockets staff (Sikma, Dawson) & Personnel (Yao, Scola, Hayes, Battier)
