What an incredible attitude... here's some quotes from the Chronicle article on him: But as impressive as Nachbar's performance was to the Rockets, he was more sold on the Rockets. He checked flight schedules from Houston to his home in Slovenia. He imagined himself filling a wing with Yao Ming sending an outlet pass and Steve Francis handling the ball on a break. He penned a letter to Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson and coach Rudy Tomjanovich to thank them for considering him, the first letter of its type they had ever received and the only one he sent. Rumors even circulated around the league that Nachbar saved his best for the Rockets' workout, not showing as much in other stops as he put on display Sunday on the Westside Tennis Club court. "After one day in Houston, I fell in love with Houston," Nachbar said in a phone interview from New York, where he attended the draft. "I love the team, the personnel. Everyone was great to me. I had four workouts (in Charlotte, Indiana, Houston and Washington, D.C.). Houston was something special. From the beginning, I knew this is where I wanted to be." You can read more on Nachbar, including quotes from CD and Rudy on him, at the new Chronicle article: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.hts/sports/bk/bkn/1472686 I really enjoy having guys that love this team and organization... what a great guy.
The class and dignity of the franchise just took a quantum leap upward with their first two draft picks.
With misfits like Taylor, Cato, and Francis having off the court troubles, its nice to have 2 solid guys to bring in some credibility, instead of ghetto street ball.
