I just watched some more highlights of Motiejunas.. this kids talent is off the charts. GET HIM MOREY!
Look at the passing ability.. he's 7 feet tall! <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IFqK-YXlsHs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Lol you didn't see that before? His passing is one of his main draws. His favorite player is Scola, but as a Lithuanian his constant idol has to be Sabonis. Adelman would have died happy with him in the high post. Too bad.

Exactly, he had to live in Kentucky for a year. What else is there to do? Anyhow, Kanter seems out of the Rockets range. Maybe one day we can try to get him as a FA. Send the actual Undertaker, who is a Houstonian, on the Red Rowdy recruiting wagon? That would just be epic. For this draft, I want Biyombo. I thought Patterson was mature, but Biyombo's maturity level makes Patterson look like Terrence Williams.
Without a trade up for Kanter give me Motiejunas @ 14 Vucevic @ 23 (Trade up if you have too) Tyler at 38 (Same as above) This gives McHale some young talented bigs to work with. I also like Singleton, he could develop into another Horry. IMHO
<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wyaH4oVOw8w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I have doubts about his NBA position, specifically playing for the Rockets. As a center he will have to improve his leg strength, as you see in the video he has troubles to stop true heavy centers in their game back to the basket. And as PF he can perfectly defend outside, but here we have Scola, Patterson... You have more new videos in youtube, concretely someone has uploaded a whole game. Very appropriate if you want to know better the player, it shows pretty much all his weaknesses, but not all his strengths.

What I'd pick or be content with If we trade up: Valanciunas @14 Singleton Montiejunas @23 Darius morris Byombo (if falls) @38 Jeremy tyler
Once again Morey is approaching a deadline. This time there is more pressure then ever to pull off a big move. Whats he got up his sleeve? Cant wait !!!
