If we put each Rocket player (each/ individually, not all at the same time) into this year's weak 2013 draft, with McLemore/ Noel being the only ones challenging to go no 1, where would you put our players: - Harden: 1st overall pick. I know I'd take Harden no 1 over McLemore/ Noel for sure - Lin: 1st overall pick. I'd take him over McLemore/ Noel. - Parsons: 1st overall pick. I'd take him over McLemore, whom Parsons already may be better than - Asik: 1st overall pick. Over McLemore/ Noel. - Greg Smith: Top 10 pick. - T-Rob: Top 10 pick. - Motiejunas: Top 15 pick. - Beverley: Top 20 pick. - Delfino: 1st round. - Garcia: 2nd round. - Brooks: 2nd round/ possibly undrafted lmao Where would you put these guys?
this thread is stupid. Comparing NBA players with College players? Brooks possible undrafted? 2013er doesn't know how good Brooks was.
You are delusional. If this draft had pre-draft Harden, Love, Rondo, Curry it'd still be considered a weak draft. You can't predict how players will develop. There is no consensus No. 1 pick, but some pretty good players. Probably two all-stars and 15-20 starters/rotation players.
Even though Asik is more proven, Noel, Len, Zeller and Gobert are probably all better prospects. Lin #1 pick is a joke. Would easily take Burke, Smart and MCW over him.
I used to eat my boogers but, with suggestion from others and education about possible ills, realized I should stop.

Wtf? Definitely Noel over Lin. Asik, Lin, and Parsons in the top 10. And AB undrafted? Boy you better go watch his higlights from his MIP year. Smdh
If you put most current NBA teams in a weak NBA draft, they'd all be drafted in the first round, and many would go in the lottery. Survivorship bias. What's special about the Rockets is that most of its players were actually drafted late (relatively) or not drafted.
i'd put harden no.1 for the next 3 drafts, once in a generation player. he'd be 25 entering the 2015 draft. we can say he was doing missionary abroad. Lin woould be a top 8 pick for the next 2. Greg smith a top 20 pick delfino a top 15 th pick. no, better yet delfino was banned from the nba by his motherland[s government. He will make his debut as a rookie next year.
