Instead of playing thirty games a year, it’s 82. Instead of two games per week, its at the very least three, and more often it’s four. Instead of being the star on campus for a nationally ranked team, now you’re playing against players who are (gasp!) more talented than you. For Rockets rookie Luther Head, the roughest part of his NBA rookie year is yet to come. However, fans can expect Head to attack the rigors of NBA life with the same calm and poise that he did at the University of Illinois, where he lead the Fighting Ilini to a 37-2 overall record last year, with averages of 15.9 points and four rebounds per contest. The 6’3”, 185-pound Chicago native is a soft-spoken yet confident young man who much rather let his playing do the talking than himself. Yet he was still kind enough to sit down with rockets.com after a tiring practice to answer a few questions: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. What was your reaction after you found out you were drafted with the 24th pick by the Rockets? I didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t have any place that I thought I would go. I just went into the draft hoping that I’d get picked, and if I did get picked then (I’d) give my all to whichever team that drafts me. 2. What was the first thing you bought after being a drafted? A steak dinner. (Laughs) 3. How has your first NBA training camp been like? It’s been great. I’m learning a lot and I’m getting used to the coaches, the lingo, and the way they present things. It’s going well. </div> if you look in the link you will see 2 pics of luther. look at teh first one, i thought that was mobley for a sec..... i think its alot better interview than the one they did with van guny.... <font color="red">Please do not post full articles in the future.
