    I'm sorry if this has been posted

    The Rockets PG position received a big boost with the addition of speed merchant Aaron Brooks. Brooks is on the small/light side, but could turn into a steal at 26 as he's incredibly gutsy and clutch. Houston is in need of a PF, but without many options at the position, the Rockets made a smart choice going with the Oregon PG. Houston addressed their power forward trading a future second rounder and cash for Carl Landry. Landry was a player we were high on all season, and should turn out to be an excellent selection at 31. He could even compete for the starting PF position in Houston. Brad Newly impressed scouts with his athleticism and toughness in Orlando, and has the added value of staying overseas for a few seasons while the Rockets hold onto his rights and watch him develop.

    They we're extremely generous with just about the entire
    league with the exeption of the Celtics and Bobcats. Just
    hope that he was looking through a crystal ball when he was grading the Rockets......

    yeah it has been discussed.

    One of the few positive reviews the rockets have gotten. I happen to agree with everything said...good review. However, I agree with many of other bbs members who believe that the Rockets grade is an "I" or "TBD" because we have to see Arron Brooks play first.

    PS. Carl Landry by himself makes this draft grade at least a B-

    for some reason I can't start a thread but I was going to post a new draft grade poll. someone else feel free to do it if you care. i'm pretty sure the bbs will give the rockets a full letter grade higher now.
