The Houston Niners (4 players from the 2009 Draft Lottery)

Petition to rename the Rockets to the Houston Niners

PG Jonny Flynn (2009 #6 overall)
SG Terrence Williams (2009 #11 overall)
SF Chase Budinger (2009 #44 overall)
PF Jordan Hill (2009 #8 overall)
C Hasheem Thabeet (2009 #2 overall)


Has a team ever acquired this many lotto picks only 2 seasons after those players were drafted?

And isn't it amazing Morey drafted the best player out of those 5 at #44?

 

T-Will is way better basketball player than Bud no doubt, but his attitude is %#$%@@# at best

 

And not a single starter.

 

Technically Bud is a starter.

 

Assuming MM eventually starts over Chase. They are actually all 3rd string except Chase.

 

If only we could get DeMarre Carroll back (2009 27th)

 

is this the summer league team?

 

Posted this in the draft thread, but is appropriate here too. The collection grows:

 

Is he? I didn't know playing out of control and taking horrible shots that he couldn't make if no one was guarding him made him a better basketball player.

 

better defender, better rebounder, better passer, better athlete, offense is maybe in the same category. Of course he is

 

You mean like...hypothetically a better basketball player, but not in reality?

 

It our water volleyball team actually.

 

More importantly are the players without starts next to them.

 

What do you meab hypothetically? He was much better in college, he was much better in SL, he was much better in his first NBA season.

The fact that Rick didn't want him to play doesn't make him worse player than he is. Gerald Wallace and Drazen Petrovic proved it earlier

 

how's terrence williams going to tweet in the water? do they make waterproof phones?

 

Are you guys so scared to play the young players? Jesus dude, we're going NOWHERE for the next couple of seasons. I don't care if Daryl and Les said some BS about not having a losing season. Uhh, we're going to have a losing season and if we keep doing this "just missed the playoffs" bull**** every season and never get a lottery pick again, I'm going to extremely pissed.

Two roads to success: Tank and get a good player in the draft, or build up and trade for a superstar and be a contender. Rockets are following neither and its making me sick.

 

If McHale doesn't play T-Will and Thabeet, then that confirms they suck.

 

Part of what makes you a "better" basketball player is your attitude, so I wholey disagree with your statement.
