How is he overrated? If you can shoot the ball, then you can shoot the ball, and that kid can shoot the ball.
Almond played on a bad team and his team didn't even do 2 well with an easy schedule. This guy is gonna be a bust. mark my words. O come on... How the hell do you pick a player who should be a 2nd round pick who is a pg when they really need a PF. I like Brooks and all but he was picked too early and they need a PF more than a PG
Rockets select Aaron Brooks. Why add another PG behind Mike James and Rafer Alston? He likely will not be getting much playing time in Houston.This buzzmaster in the Draftcast on ESPN won't let me ask Belinelli anything .

Derrick Byars was projected at 20...The dude is solid all around with a good shot. Aaron Brooks is a 5"10 guy who only shoots the ball.

He has great penetrating ability, and can set up his teammates fairly well.

Stuckey is a combo guard, he can play PG pretty well. Afflalo is a huge upgrade over Flip f*cking Murray. I thought they'd go with McRoberts here, but it's good that they didn't (considering they already have Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell).
