    why not discuss the potential of the lower draftees? With the depth of this years draft and so many of the HS players much in focus, maybe trading down wouldn't be such a bad idea since there would definately be steller role player the Rockets could get outside of the top 10 picks. I'm going for Woods and Morris. Woods to plug up the centre, and Morris because he shares the same name as I. That makes him the greatest in this draft. Of course, he and Wink share alma maters

    That is a very possible scenario. At 13, it's very likely both Richard Jefferson and Pau Gasol are both gone... if that's the case, we have to decide whether to take center like Loren Woods, or trade down. In my opinion, I'd trade down if I can get low first rounder or first rounder and a high second rounder to pick up a PG in case Moochie signs elsewhere. The Rockets definitely have the salary cap, but still have A LOT of holes to plug. An extra pick could work out nicely...

    I played against Ford in high school and I wasn't too impressed. He really couldn't do anything that any other 6'9" 250 pound freshman couldn't do. He has a really big dome, though.

    Ford has a nice stroke for a big man though. In the McDonald's High School All-American game he participated in the 3-Point contest.
