Morey will be Morey, I guess. Looking for that value. Samhan and Blakely are both listed real high on draftexpress' list of NCAA players: http://www.draftexpress.com/stats.php?q=usage&sort=7&league=NCAA&year=2009/10
Per Nic Wise's Facebook he worked out for Rockets on Friday... " Just finished workin out for the Houston Rockets..... thanking God for the show I put on. They said I REALLY helped myself. Interviews now.... Then on to the next one"
Blakely seems like an interesting prospect. Seems like he plays above the rim and coupled with that crazy wingspan, he could be worth a look in the second round. Or picked up as a FA.
It seems like every player that works out Tweets about it anyway. It's no secret who the teams workout.
Yeah, workout isn't where teams get screwed. Everybody knows what's happening. It's the draft day trades that screw up the Rockets. It's like somebody is leaking information to Pritchard every draft right before a trade is about to occur for our target player. Roy, Sergio, Rush.
I like this link. Marqus Blakely at #6, Turner and Babbit in the top 5, and Whiteside, Cousins and Sanders at #30, #31 and #32 respectively. And I would never have guessed Aubrey Coleman at #13, go Coogs.
I remember seeing Nic Wise play against my HS. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJ8tAVfdov4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJ8tAVfdov4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> He has a similar skillset and play style to Jason Terry's, including the very clutch skill. I have a feeling his game is going to translate well. Some people were just born to ball.
With Garrett Temple now under contract with the Spurs for next season, and with Will Conroy now an established veteran with better offers likely awaiting him overseas, the Rockets could use a quality young PG to run the show for the Vipers down in the Valley and be a potential call-up in-season.

Nic Wise would be awesome. We'd have 3 Arizona teammates with Hill, Wise, and Budinger on a 2nd unit with awesome chemistry. Heh.
