What Will They Do….This Time?
June 28, 2007
Historically Houston pro-team GMs have made some bone head moves during their respective sports drafts, see the ill-fated Texans draft of 2006, when they chose Mario Williams #1 and passed on hometown hero Vince Young and All-start running back Reggie Bush. Check out the NBA draft of 1998 when the Houston Rockets took Brice Drew, Michael Dickerson, Mirsad Turkcan ( Who?) in the first round and passed on home town high school star Rashard Lewis. Although, I am an Astros fan, I don’t really follow their draft besides it works differently in baseball since the drafted player go into the farm system (minor leagues), the Astros have their own set of problems, one being that they keep their top prospects in the minors too long before bringing them up to the majors. All this too say, I wonder what bone head move will the Rockets make in this years NBA draft.
Houston has the #26 draft pick in the first round, they so haven’t made any moves to move up in the first round and that is ok. At #26 will there be any players left that can address their needs preferably a Power Forward that is not afraid to use his body. They also need to real shooters, some that can score from 15ft out or that can finish at the basket.
So for this draft tonight I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed and hope that they actually pick a couple of players that can help get the team off Tracy’s ailing back.
