My Thoughts

Ok, so here’s the deal, a few weeks ago the NBA had a draft lottery drawing. The Rockets ,hoping to repeat past luck of moving up a few slots, participated in this drawing (I am not sure if all team participate in the lottery of just the top 10.). Well it is apparent The Rockets luck has run out because they didn’t move any where, they kept the 8th pick.

I must admit, not a lot of hoopla has been made about the upcoming NBA draft that is scheduled to take place on this coming Wednesday, I guess there are no real all-stars that are up for this draft. Well we, here in the Lone Star State, aren’t hearing much about it and in particular Houston, maybe it’s because we are only picking eight i nthe first round. While we should rejoice in the fact that we are still picking in the first round in the high tenth, and be hopeful that at that position we still have some quality talent from which to choose. I don’t think that there is much talent out there at the 8th position. It’s been rather quiet on the local sports shows here, maybe not quiet, but with the draft being this close I would think that that would dominate the conversation and so far it has not. Now the Rockets have a lot of holes to fill and they have an immediate need for a point gaurd, power forward, backup shooting guard and backup for the two positions I’ve named. Let’s hope that Jeff Vangundy and the GM Carroll Dawson will make better choices than Rudy and Carroll did in the past i.e. Matt Malone, Kelvin Cato..etc.
