If the Rockets had the number 1 pick, whom should they take?

I think you have to look at Morrison because of two things offense and heart. All these other guys have more athleticism and abillity than morrison will ever come close to, but not one of them produced like morrison. Heck I don't even like his game but I like the fact that he wants to win more than any of these over tallented wastes of space in the top five this season. From what I've seen Morrison wants to win more than anyone else on the court 99% of the time and is willing to do whatever it takes on or off it to get what he wants.

I have no way to guage the heart and drive of Bargnani but if he has any he would be my second choice. After that I go with Sheldon Williams or Brewer.

The fact that guys like aldridge, gay, thomas are question marks in a draft this weak says a lot about how much people believe in their character because we all know what they could be. Imagine aldridge with sura's heart... you'd be talking the next DREAM.

 

trade down a few spots for a pick + a guy like luther head, then grab the person we wanted....i wud say trade down to 4-6 and get roy, morrison, or gay

 

I don't understand why so many people think Aldridge is going to be a great player.

He wasn't a great rebounder at Texas. He wasn't consistent. He isn't a physical presence close to the basket. For a player of his size and wingspan, he didn't block a lot of shots (and blocked shots tend to be inflated at the college level). These things don't bode well for a guy his size.
