    On the eve of the championship game, I have been very impressed with Nick Collison of Kansas. He was the on the Olympic Roster and has gotten rave reviews from the NBA coaches with the team. He is tall, with great moves, hes a hard worker, smart, tough, and can finish around the bucket. Hes also a good shot blocker and a great rebounder(19 vs. Duke 15vs Marquette). Scouts have projected him as being a late lottery to mid first round pick. I would love to watch him alongside Yao next year.

    Our other PF's: :(

    Mo=Blackhole

    Eddie Griffin=Too busy smoking weed to work on his game. Guess thats why he hasnt improved in 2 years?

    He reminds me of Troy Murphy...I would love to have both over any PF on our roster.

    Mo is not a black hole. When someone is open, and he is doubled, he makes the pass. But when single covered, more often than not he is able to score. I have no problem with that.

    agreed. His hook is almost automatic.

    he reminds me of a Mark Madsen with a little bit more talent. I'm sure he's not as stupid/goofy or as jack haley wannabe as Madsen is though....nobody is.

    If you want him to be a Rocket then you should hope that he has a horrible game tonight and falls to the second round based on that one game.

    Mo is not a blackhole. He passes when he's doubled. But we did isolate him in the post down the stretch too much. 1-on-1 ISO game is not not good down the stretch especially by someone like Mo. I would rather see a 2-men set with Yao and Steve more in crunch time.

    It's too bad he can't hit a clutch free throw.

    or any freethrow for that matter.

    He hits 50% and Kansas wins...

    yeah I like the kid, but those free throws were terrible.

    he is a big body that seems to grab rebounds without that great of athletic ability.

    He wasnt a blackhole! Since he has found his shot he is slipping towards becoming a blackhole.Just
    watch him in the next couple of Games and see how many times he is in a difficult situation and how many times he passes out.

    We need a vet PF to protect Yao. Someone that will smack the HELL out of anyone who tries to push Yao around. Oakley, Brand maybe, Anthony Mason, those guys...

    You're absolutely right. We don't need anymore rookies. What we need are veterans that have been to playoffs and championships to show them what it takes to go to the next level.

    I have sources here in France sayiing that Rocket's scouts came to see Boris Diaw play.
    Appart from the fact that the front office is interested in him,this means that they are planing on keeping the pick...

    interesting info, but the rox don't have the option of keeping the pick. If they want him they'd have to trade for him.
