Is it Too Early to Look at the Top of the First Round?

We're bad, but I think soon with Francis back, We'll fight to be in the middle of the lottery instead of at the top.

I like Drew Gooden though...

 

We need to draft some wheels because right now they've all fallen off.

 

Best Player Available.

I have no problems playing 3 guards.
So if the Rockets draft Williams or Ford, Francis can move to the 2.

If they draft a SG, he can split time with Mobley and Torres at the 2 or 3.

If they draft a SF, they get a SF.

If they draft a PF, he can play the 5.

If they draft a center, I'm sorry I don't believe in this mythical creature. I believe in Shaq. All other wanna centers are just PFs.

 

Chris Marcus if he's available, out of Western Kentucky

 

Chris Marcus is a great prospect whose stock will be down due to his injury this season. Still raw, yet still with talent and some polish to his game, he would be a solid mid-lottery pick for any team in need of a center.

Great work ethic, great size, and probably a darn good center in the NBA for years. A much safer pick than Ming, in my opinion, but not worthy of a top 3 pick.

If the Rockets were up there, I'd look at Jason Williams, though he reminds me a good bit of Francis. One would have to go if that deal was made. Around pick 5, I think the team would look at Dunleavy - he may be slightly overrated, but he's a pretty good shooter and a pretty athletic kid. Tall, too. Not sure he's as good as Bird, but he's as good as Mike Miller was/will be.

 

I could live with two Stevies...in fact, that would be awesome.
