What's the news? Nothing? I thought we needed some young athletes... Anybody? Whatever happened to that 6'8" Egyptian SF that played with them a couple of summers ago?
The Summer League they're in is coming up soon, so we'll get the names in a little bit. Chuck Hayes is apparently one guy that will be there. At Summer League, they'll also have Head, Spanoulis, Badiane, Hayes, anyone else we know of yet?
I would like to see Kenedy Winston and Stephen Graham here as undrafted free agents. I think there is certainly talent out there if we can find that diamond in the rough UFA.
I hope we get Randolph Morris into our summer league camp. I realize he is very, very raw, but he has that ever-lovin' potential. At 6-11 and 250 lbs and without a mandatory long rookie contract, he could be a real steal. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain because he can play PF or center. Jeff and Carroll, GO GET HIM!
i think that we will get kennedy winston into summer league because i know the rockets worked him out and showed some interest. he may make the team if brought in but who knows.
Matt Walsh said the Rockets "Loved Him". So he may be a target. http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/Draft/050629a.htm Players are listed in order of CHN talent ranking: ▪ Sean Banks - Memphis - ▪ Matt Walsh - Florida - ▪ John Gilchrist - Maryland - ▪ Randolph Morris - Kentucky - ▪ Stefano Mancinelli - Bologna - ▪ Kennedy Winston - Alabama - ▪ Jawad Williams - North Carolina - ▪ Eddie Basden - Charlotte - ▪ Angelo Gigli - Bipop Carire Reggio Emilia - ▪ Anthony Roberson - Florida - ▪ Tre Simmons - Washington - ▪ Lucas Tischer - San Jose dos Pinhais - ▪ Filiberto Rivera - UTEP - ▪ Jared Homan - Iowa State - ▪ Donell Taylor - UAB - ▪ Dwayne Jones - Saint Joseph's - ▪ Kelenna Azubuike - Kentucky - ▪ Mindaugas Katelynas - UT-Chattanooga - ▪ Alan Anderson - Michigan State - ▪ Pops Mensah-Bonsu - George Washington - ▪ Will Conroy - Washington - ▪ Drago Pasalic - KK Split ▪ Juan Mendez - Niagara ▪ D'or Fischer - West Virginia ▪ Tiras Wade - Louisiana-Lafayette ▪ Robert Rothbart - Paris Basket Racing ▪ Bojan Popovic - KK Reflex ▪ Taylor Coppenrath - Vermont ▪ Sharrod Ford - Clemson ▪ Deng Gai - Fairfield ▪ Jonathan Moore - NC Central ▪ Chuck Hayes - Kentucky ▪ John Lucas - Oklahoma State ▪ Josh Pace - Syracuse ▪ Luke Schenscher - Georgia Tech ▪ Chris Thomas - Notre Dame
I'd give these guys a try: Matt Walsh Chuck Hayes John Gilchrist Randolph Morris (back to KY?) Alan Anderson I think that Pops dropped out of the draft. Bob Ryan said that Coppenrath had signed with the Celtics.
On Thursday, the Rockets reached agreements with former Saint Joseph's forward Pat Carroll and former USC and Kings forward David Bluthenthal. They also have spoken with representatives of former Oklahoma State star John Lucas Jr., but he is weighing invitations from many teams. Chron article
