From what I've heard, he has great athleticism which the Rockets lack. He however does remind me of Gerald Green though. Morey should bring Green back, and maybe draft Jefferson.

We will see.

Picking Jefferson is kind of risky in my opinion, but I am willing to bet on him.

Oops, it looks like he is staying for another season.

i don't think he would have been a good fit for the rockets anyway. he hasn't shown a lot of range in college(just 8 three point attempts) and really can't play anywhere in the pros but small forward.

Wayne Ellington wouldn't be a bad pick up but Id really like to get one of the Lopez brothers (which I highly doubt)

Ha. I wonder why he's still on mock drafts. Last I heard, he was still in.

I've seen several people mention Ellington, but how is he any better than the guards you already have?

That's why I don't see us getting Wayne Ellington. However, if we do get him, Luther will be gone. Ellington needs to learn defense and maybe need to improve some ball handling and court vision so he can play PG. At the very best, he's a combo guard that the Rockets don't need.

He's a great shooter and clutch though. Rockets should put an eye on him should any trades come up.

he's not really but you can't ever have too many shooters on a team.

Say if we draft him, Morey will probably have a plan to get rid of Luther Head.

Actually I think the Rockets should get Roy Hibbert or Robin Lopez but personally I bet Morey's going to pick some guy we never heard of again.

Chad Ford has the Rockets taking Nicolas Batum in his mock draft.

This is a very interesting pick. The reason is that he resembles Rudy Gay's abilities. Maybe not as good, but they are similar players.

I wouldn't mind moving him into the starting line up, but that means Shane Battier has to go to the bench.

Also, I doubt we are going to draft a center. Deke is coming back next year isn't he? We still have players that we waived last year we could bring back. Why draft a new center?

Why would you move Battier to the bench for a late draft pick, 19 yr old rookie. That's just...

I don't know why but I think we'll move up and trade for Portland's pick (13th).

And we could draft a center with our 2nd round pick, so he can become the backup C when Deke retires.

I want the less mobile Lopez
