    Agreed! Who would you want the Rockets to pick at 13th though. Given they don't move up.

    The Celtics will be looking to retool. Lets say Martin and Bud for their late 1st and one of their 2nd rounders?

    If we want Austin Rivers we will be able to trade down to the low 20s to get him.

    More overrated than Patterson or Morris this season? They might turn out just fine but this season they sucked balls

    Are they allowed to draft Britney Grinner? At least she plays with fire, rage, and with something to prove.

    I think Morey is going to have to move up this.. even at the risk of overpaying.

    Rockets fans and front office are desperate by this point. They need to strike gold and the trade route ain't working.


    The Top 7 has got some great talent. Get in there Morey.

    If they do not move up. I would have to go with anyone with a potential to develop past a role player. Those guys are if they fall to us in order of my biggest want.

    Jeremy Lamb
    Jared Sullinger
    Perry Jones
    Austin Rivers

    TAKE MEYERS LEONARD. This guy has crazy upside, and is built like a true big man. I have seen him in person many games, and he has made tremendous improvements in his footwork and overall back to he basket game from his Freshman to Sophomore season. He plays with emotion and hates losing. He also has a good wingspan and plays like a true center. He is a rim protector and plays good help defense. I doubt he will fall to the 14th pick once the draft rolls around...but if we are lucky enough to actually get this guy, he could legitimately turn things around at the center spot. He is young and has shown maturity and improvement from last year to this year...

    I am actually shocked that not that many people want to draft a true 7'1" center. They don't grow on trees, especially not with his offensive and defensive skills and upside...

    I predict the Rockets will pick a very mediocre NBA player.

    Just a side note, but Austin Rivers jumper looks slightly off to me, I think he shoots with both hands (at the very least, his left hand also flicks out when he shoots).
