he was never passed by the rockets. the rockets had 25th pick that yr. do ppl like to say the rockets passed on players just out of spite? lol
que? we had a top 20 pick that year? pretty sure we drafted Batum with our pick he was picked 17th by the Raptors
He wasn't passed on by the rockets. However, Hibbert was upset with the Rockets because in the draft interview they told him that if they drafted him he would have to spend some time in the D-League. I don't really understand why he thought that was such a bad thing, but that was his point of view.
