    I haven't seen him play much in college, but to those who have, how good was he and how good do you think he can be in the NBA?

    Bonus Question- Would you trade Parsons/Asik/fillers for the #1 pick to draft Noel?

    hmm, so does he seem worth the investment? doesn't sound like he has any offensive moves.

    Well think about this... This is the first year I can remember where multiple teams were already talking openly about trading the #1 pick in the draft if they were to get it (Charlotte, & New Orleans rumored).

    No I wouldn't dare trade Chandler Parsons or any building block piece of the Rockets for him or anyone else in this draft. Maybe one of the young bigs like Jones, Robinson, or D-Mo for a high upside wing player that the front office is in love with, but that's about it.

    IMO there are no bigs in this draft that I have seen that have the upside that our 3 young PF's have. However our front office and scouts have been looking at this group for some time now, and might see something I dont with one on one workouts, and advanced scouting beyond what the public can see.
