I don't see why there is so much negativity associated with the probable 9th slot selection. Chances are the Rockets come up with something good. Paul Pierce went 10. Nowitzki went 9th I believe. I think the 9th pick will fare with Houston............If they keep it --Rocketman ------------------
Every young player is a gamble. Some are a little better than others, but they are all a gamble. Second gamble -- if a rookie will pay off his first year. They are long term prospects, and can take several years to develop. We can't count on a rookie to save the next season. All the more reason for a minor league for the NBA. ------------------ Stay Cool...
