Come draft day, who would you like to see Houston draft if we stay at 14? My "Houston Big Board goes like this: Epke Udoh Patrick Patterson Xavier Henry Paul George Cole Aldrich If we move down say to one of Memphis's late rounders: Nemanja Bjelica Gani Lawal Jerome Jordan Stanley Robinson Trevor Booker
From what I've seen, this site tends to over-evaluate players and give them high grades. I've seen people high on Avery Bradley, Cousins, etc. And While I'm high on Udoh, a lot of lottery teams are not, when there is so much potential in this draft. Udoh is a guy playoff contenders are looking at, not struggling teams like Golden State and and Detroit, so at this point, the only teams really considering him are Utah, New Orleans, Memphis and Houston. With that said, I could see Udoh drop to the mid first round, but I could see him also go as high as 9.
Well my board looks something like this based on availability & "If" we stay at the 14th pick... 1.Hassan Whiteside 2.Donatas Motiejunas 3. Ekpe Udoh 4. Daniel Orton 5. Paul George 6. Xavier Henry But with that said, I really do think Morey is going to make a strong push to get into that 4th spot and go after Demarcus Cousins ... and a package of Budinger + 14th pick could possibly get it done... --RB
