WF.com NBA Mock: Rockets take Morris/Selby/Nogueira

Uggghhhhh.

If that is what we get I'm not very happy at all. Would keep my fingers crossed that Morris could play SF but I don't really see any of them getting any playing time at all. Morris maybe but thats it. I have no problem taking Lucas in the 2nd but he is a couple of years away. Not sure Selby even makes the team.

 

WalterFootball.com?

 

What? Random sites that no one has heard of aren't good sources for mock drafts?

 

Walterfootball is kind of popular. I followed them for NFL draft stuff and they do a good job.

It would be great to get that group of guys.

 

If Morris could indeed play SF then I'm all for it while Selby could be the steal of the draft. Guy will be a VERY good shoot first PG but just needs time and development.

Noguiera seems like a fantastic second rd project, lets see what develops in a few years.

Overall, would be THRILLED with this group if Morey can't move up but I fully expect a fairly big trade on draft night.

 

Marcus Morris was working out with other SFs when I caught the Chicago combine workouts. I think he wants to come in as a 3/4. He has the mid-range, but I'm not sold on his footwork/lateral movement.

 

Yes that is right people. There are other sports other than basketball and yes, shockingly, extremely popular ones at that.

Walterfootball.com is a well respected scouting site for...football. I hadn't checked into the article or author but it doesn't really matter because I'm not sure how anyone can be critical of a user posting a mock draft, no matter where it is from. They are all speculation....it's not like reporting or insider rumors.

Some of you guys are truly unpleasant.

 

I agree. Selby very well could be the steal of the draft. While he did collapse towards the end of his only year at Kansas, it could be that some kids simply aren't college material.

 

Morris, Selby and Noguiera make little sense. Houston needs a true small forward who can work alongside Kevin Martin and ideally defend someone. Morris is a project transferring to small forward who proved in Chicago that he can't shoot well enough to be a true 3 and is potentially a poor mans Patrick Patterson. Selby could pan out but I suspect a combo guard will be of greater use to the current backcourt configuration. With Thabeet on the books is another developing centre required?

I have no idea who will end up in a Rockets uniform following the draft but would not hold my breath for those three

 

Yay! Kyle Singler to the Thunder

 

Saying we did draft at our current positions, I'd be pretty happy with these three.

 

i hope the rockets do et josh shelby. so freaking what if he plays point and we are already stack at that position? i would draft him too because he is 6'4 and can slash to the basket with ease. shelby > rubio

 

I read somewhere that the Knicks have made a promise to pick Selby at 17 if he's still there. I would rather draft a euro anyways at 23 and stash him away.

 

Only good things Walter Football has ever done were the Emmitt Smith mock drafts. Those were hilarious.
