    Kemba Walker, Kawai Leonard, Biyombo, Donatas, Klay Thompson, Alec Burks would all be great players here. There is gonna be someone good there no matter what these other teams who normally draft bad anyways draft ahead of us. Patrick Patterson last year comes to mind.

    agreed someone good will be there at #14, but we are not a Patrick Patterson away from contention. The hope is to use this draft to really take a big step forward, or at least address a position of need. I am not blaming Morey for things that don't happen, but standing pat and picking another "solid" player to add to our team of "solid" players doesn't really get us any closer to contention.

    Can't the Rockets find a team willing to trade them a top 8 pick for a role player or are things like that never supposed to happen?
