No one really ever talks about the 15th pick on here. That pick has the potential to give us another good player in this deep draft. Whom would you guys like to see the Rockets take at that spot, realistically. Jared Jeffries will probably be available and would be a good fit at the SF I think. Amare Stoudemire is a young guy with potential whom seems like a good fit, even though the Rocks don't seem to like drafting High School guys. Nachbar is mentioned alot there although I dont knwo much about him. WHo else??

If Juan Dixon is around or Stoudamire (roll the dice we have talent a PF) I have a feeling #15 will be part of a deal...
I'm starting to like the idea of drafting Jiri Welsch at #15 and playing him as a point forward. He's got the ballhandling skills, he's a great defender, and he's got a great shot. He sounds like a perfect fit. If not him, then hopefully one of Tskiti, Woods, J. Jeffries, or Nachbar will slip to 15.
