The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Thread
The annual NBA Draft is just a few weeks away. Who are your picks? Who do you think will be picked by the Rockets?
Do you think Daryl "Wizard" Morey will have some tricks up his sleeves this time around? Post your thoughts and wishes in this thread.

Re: The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Maybe Roy Hibbert can plummet down into our laps, he'd make a great back up for Yao.

Re: The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Lottery Thread
I really have no idea what we can get at our picks. Who knows who will be avaliable that low.
But I do say try to get a decent back up big. Who knows if Deke is coming back. A nice PF/C position player would be amazing.

Re: The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Thread
Imagining what Deke could turn Hibbert into would almost require Houston to pick him.

Re: The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Thread
I don't keep track of the NCAA. I think Morey will work his magic in the draft. We could get some unknown guy that will turn out to be a great player. Who knows?

Re: The Official Houston Rockets NBA Draft Thread
How about Houston packages up some expirings, Hayes, and the pick and trades it all to Memphis for Mike Miller?

Who should we draft this year?
There are a lot of good prospects out there and mostly likely we are going to draft someone (I was hoping we trade them for a veteran.)
So what or who do you think we should draft with our draft picks.

Roy Hibbert? That's the only name I know.

Re: Who should we draft this year?
With the emergence of Rafer Alston as a solid pg, Shane and Mac solid at the 2 & 3, and Yao at the 5, and Scola manning the 4
The rockets need two things, Size at the wing coming off the bench, and Size at the pf position coming off the bench, that's all we need to become a true contender
with that being said, with our 1st rounder we need either Brandon Rush from Kansas, or C. Douglas-Roberts from memphis, both would be good picks because one they have good college experience and can hit open shoots and are athletic and play good defense which is what we need from the wing coming off the bench, because head and jackson nor francis will be able to give us what they can't
There are only two bigs that we might be able to grab in the second rd but we would have to move up, Joey Dorsey of memphis or Devon Hardin of Cal
What we need at PF, is size, rebounding, and defense, those two would diffenately fit
The Rockets don't need alot to become contenders as seen this season, we need a big guard who can also play some small forward, and we need a big who has size and can rebound and block shots
next year roster
Pg- Rafer/Brooks
Sg- T-Mac/Bobby Jack?Rush or Roberts
Sf- Shane/Rush or Roberts/T-mac
Pf- Scola/Landry/Dorsey or Hardin
C- Yao/Dorsey or Hardin/
with Novak as your 3pt specialist, and Hayes filling out the rest of the roster

Re: Who should we draft this year?
We don't have a 2nd round pick for this draft. We could buy one though.
