What should the Rockets do at #15?

SuperS32 · Jun 13, 2002

We already know they'll pick Ming, so what should they do at #15? I think moving up by trading KT and/or Mooch to get a premier SF would be the best option, since we already have Tierre and Griffin at backup PG and PF and we need a good young SF like Woods or Tskitishvilli.

PS- It should be avAilable, not avilable

I don't know if you can really call them veterans, but I would try to package the fifteenth pick with some player(s) and try to acquire Lewis, Artest, or Odom (in that order). I know we could only do a sign and trade with Seattle after the free agency signing period begins. I realize that Lewis probably can't be acquired this way, but Artest or Odom might.

Otherwise, I rate the small forwards in the draft
Dunleavy/Butler/Nachbar/Jefferies/Woods

Dunleavy and Butler are going to be taken too early so you can pretty much cross them out. But the last three are definite possiblities. I don't see Jefferies or Woods getting much playing time at all, but I think Nachbar could do well his first year.

I'm pretty sure Tsika... will end up being a PF like Gasol, but maybe they could take a chance on him if they can somehow move up.
