    Why don't you go to each of those sites and tell us who the Rockets are going to take?

    I haven't heard the name Luther Head mentioned. What are his qualities that would help the Rockets?

    I can't imagine Diogu falling to us. If he did that would be amazing. simien is ok too.

    head is interesting. this might mean the end of mike james as a backup PG. he tested as top 5 most athletic guys in chicago. my main problem is the headlines he would cause:

    after the draft - "rockets get head"

    after his first great summer league game - "head dominates from the tip"

    after his first great preseason game - "rockets head wows fans"

    after he steals some PT from james and sura - "head making things sticky at the point"
