    To me . .. IT seems the Rockets tend to draft Decently to well.

    98 - Dickerson, Mobley, Drew, Turksan this was a 50-50 draft
    -----Beyond Rashard only lower picks that stand out are Tyronne Lue, Vladimir Stepania, Pat Garrity, Al Harrington and Nazr Mohammed --- While Rashard as a major miscalculation . .the rest are not making me cry about them

    99 - Francis , KT EXCELLENT DRAFT!!
    -----Only person I see here we miss in Draft KT is: Andrei Kirilenko, Jumaine Jones - and I still like KT more than both of them.

    00 - COLLIER - BAD DRAFT - but netted us Eddie Griffen -
    -----Could have had - Hidayet Turkoglu Keyon Dooling Courtney Alexander Speedy Claxton Morris Peterson of these only Morris Peterson and Hidayet Turkoglu really make me pause. . it was not a great loss . .

    01 - EDDIE GRIFFEN - gave up JeFferson and Collins and Brandon Armstrong
    -----Jamaal Tinsley, Tony Parker Troy Murphy nothing else seem like it was great.

    MY POINT is. . . i don't see all that much that make me say the Rocket have f*ck up badly. Like the drop off is COLOSSAL . .

    Am I Wrong?

    The Turksan pick eventually turned into Terrence Morris.

    The Drew pick will eventually turned into two future Chicago second round picks. The trade with Chicago had provision in it, so that the Rocks could get a Chicago first round pick, provided Chicago makes the playoffs (which Drew did not lead them too btw).
