    Setting aside the Mobley, Green, and Cade sniping, who do you NOT want to be available the next time Houston is making their selection? Any rationale you can give would be appreciated. For me, I probably wouldn't mind any of these players being picked by the Rockets, but I would prefer them to go in another direction. If they fell, to say the 23 pick, a lot of them would probably be hard to pass up on. But if they were taken before, of course they would push other prospects down the board.

    1) Surprise out there pick ... (late first or 2nd round grade going high. Not holding breath on this one but crossing fingers)
    2) Cam Thomas ... I want defense, playmaking and smart basketball.
    3) Cooper ... I don't want short pgs with questionable defense. Especially with that jumper.
    4) Keon Johnson ... seems like he will be going really high hopefully so no worries
    5) Kispert ... seems to bring what is easy to find later in the draft
    6) Tre Mann ... same stuff, defense, playmaking, smart basketball. Not sure if he would even be able to get any legitimate time with the guards we already have in place.

    If these are the guys left on the board, fine I guess, can't control that. But I definitely DO NOT want Houston trading up for any of them.

    Mann and Cooper.

    I like Kispert. I also think he is going to fall.

    Mobley/Kispert/Thor does a lot for our future. We end up having to revamp the back court over next couple years but that is doable assets considered.

    I agree with you big time on Mann and Thomas. Please no low efficiency gunners. We don't need a Jordan Clarkson type.

    Kispert probably gets taken way higher, I hope we get him
