Hey just wondering but is mustafa shakur declaring for the draft because if he is he would be a mid second round pick thats what i saw. but if he does declare i think we should draft him and make him our back up point guard. After seeing him in the tournament i am seeing a different player. I am seeing a deadly three point shot from him as well as great ability to penetrate with great ball handling with outstanding passing and playmaking ability. He could be a steal what do you all think?
The thing about him is if he declares, there is a chance he can go undrafted, but if he waits until his senior year. He might go first round or early second round.
Hey what do you guys think of Patrick O'Bryant playing Power Forward in the NBA?? I see dominance in him and he is kind of Tyson Chandler esque except with more and better offence. Do you guys think he can play power forward in the next level and since we dropping any chance we see this kid in rockets next year? I just thought about this and came to the conclusion if we can get a strong pf in the draft get him because they are hard to get and we can trade j-ho and stro show for a shooting guard or something so yah what do you guys think?
We have a much more desperate need for a 2 gaurd. This draft is loaded with them...and the role playing Pfs are all projected second round. I'd be happy with a first round 2gaurd and second round PF pick.
Let say Yi JianLian does find away to Declare himself in the NBA Draft and we acquire another pick in the 15-20 area do you think we should draft him? Because in china he looks lightening quick with great explosiveness but is not physically strong fadeway in all his shots including his dunks . Yes or No?? Because i mean he can bulk up 30 pounds in offseason. What do you all think of him and do you think we should draft him?
He'll go top 5. Its not everyday you see a Dirk Nowitzki like player with potential yet still have a lot of immediate impact. At this point, I might even say he has more stock than Adam Morrison if he is able to be drafted. Of course, if he does fall that far (which he won't, I'd definitely pick him).
Would you trade up for him then? Because we do need a PF but he not only gives us a PF but a PF who can scorer and rebound and block shots. A franchise type PF He is like a tyson chandler who can scorer. Did you guys know his explosiveness was compared to stromile swift and his intelligence was compared to tim duncan while his game was compared to Garnett by Del Harris. Would you guys trade us?
Ok and i was just wondering lets just say that the hassan adams isn't there when time comes for our second round pick. What do you guys think of drafting Allan Ray or Gullimero Diaz. Personally i think both would be pretty good. Allan Ray is a pretty good athlete built and plays much like our own luther head in the second round. Diaz on the other hand is a big different. He has out of the world athleticism and a Jumper thats starting to look good and he would be able to provide the quickness many people think we lack. What do you all think?
New idea for the draft i don't know if you guys will agree or disagree but how about we don't draft a shooting guard with our first round pick. We draft the best player avaliable and by the time we pick that would probably be tyrus thomas. I mean if we select him we can trade howard and make one hell of a front line. Yao and Thomas would be good and be able to dominate people. Then Swift and Thomas would also be amazing and they could also dominate in the running game with alston and mcgrady and head. We solve our shooting and shooting guard problems by this. In the second round we select an all around player with a great shot in Denham Brown and then we sign an undrafted rookie in Rashad Anderson. What do you all think about that idea? Input?
I'm pretty sure Thomas will stay in school barring something that changes his mind and if he does come out, he will be gone before we get to him unless teams pass on him like they did Gerald Green. Rashad Anderson will be drafted because of his performance last night in the second round. I'm not a big fan of Denham Brown. The Rockets can get so much more than him in the second round. I'm willing to take a risk on Josh Mcroberts if he drops to us. I wouldn't mind drafting marcus williams from Uconn either. In the second round, I'm liking Hassan Adams or Allen Ray
Ronnie Brewer and Allan Ray would be my picks if available. That would totally reshape the backcourt which needs to be the focus. Brewer would be a huge pick up because he can play 3 spots and play D. Ray is a shooter the Rockets need. Both can handle the ball. There is so much to be determined and my opinion might change but for right now I see these two guys as a great fit if they are available.
After Giving a lot of thought about how we should draft this would be my plan. If aldridge is avaliable draft him. The player I'd like most is however Randy Foye he seems to be what we need and what we want. He is a tough nosed defender who is 6'4". Just a shade undersized so its ok. He is very explosive and strong so he can get to the lane at will. Has a killer JUMP SHOT. He can be our third scoerer as well as a van gundy type of player. If he and Tyrus Thomas were on the board i'd go with him because we need someone who can contribute NOW at the SG position. Alston Foye Mcgrady Swift Yao thats a great line up. I am saying that because i think swift will progress.
raptors may want to trade their pick for a lower pick... so we can trade with them and get our scrubs out with the pick..for exapmle: bowen and bob (even though i love him... his injury is a huge factor)
Tinyballer, Aldridge won't be dropping down to our pick. He's slated to go in the top three probably if he decides to leave college so I doubt he'll ever be that low. Randy Foye would be a nice pick, and having watched a couple games of him with Villanova, I think he'll be a nice player in the league. He knows how to get things done- when his shot isn't falling he'll get to the rim hard to try to score. My current pick hasn't changed- Ronnie Brewer.
The reason i say aldridge is becaue you never know what happens in the draft lottery I mean we wern't supposed to get Yao Ming were we?
I doubt Aldridge will risk declaring after the game against LSU yesterday exposed his lack of strength and the trouble he'll have in the NBA against stronger opponents. If he's not sure that he'll go in the top 5, he'll wait a year before declaring again. There's no point in getting another power forward. As much as you'd like to think so, Howard and Swift aren't exactly hot items on the trade market. A shooting guard is what we need and what we should go after.
Hey what do you guys think of Drafting Glen Davis "Big Baby" Right now he is like 6'8" and 330 pounds and still looks pretty nimble and atheletic for a man his size. Imagine if we trimmed him to 250 pounds he would be a beast becaue of the explosiveness and quickness he would gain. Also he has the ability to hith the long jumper which makes him even more valuable. If we draft him he could rebound hit open shots and push guys out of the paint. He could be a mike sweetney or a poor mans elton brand? What do you all think about drafting him.
I'm not a big fan. He has a great shot for a PF his size. I expected him to be like shaq and not be able to hit FTs or a jumper but I was wrong. The NBA PF position is being defined as agility and athletism. He will be a liabilty on the defensive end in 2 years tops.
I have been reading have read about a player named Nemanja Alexsandrov. He is a very talented player reportedly even more talented then dirk and pau. Like them has a great jump shots and game in the post. His one and most glaring weakness is his incrediblily thing body. He has the ability to put on more weight in the weight room and that can be down. Now that the nba is more afraid of the workout wonder he might fall to us in the second round what do you guys think about drafting him in the second round with our pick. He won't contribute right away though but we can send him down to the D-league and send him back up nearing end of season for playoffs. He also has chance to contribute right away depending how far he progressed in strengths and whether he can play sf in nba or not as t-mac's back up. What do you all think?
Brewer Roby I think, as far as the Rockets team Brewer and Roby would be valubale because of their wide range of skills. Roby has a great midrange game at 6'6, and is the better athlete and shooter. I think he maybe a better fit because he is the better shooter. Brewer can run point at 6'7. Most effective when he's dominating the ball but gets other involved well along with his own O. Both are long and play D and would be good fits. I don't think Carney offers as much, but he his the strongest athlete out the 3 He's not a ball handler, and can't effect the game in as many different ways as the other two, but would still be a good pick.
