ROCKETS' PASS ON MINER WAS MAJOR SHOCK TO HORRY

Yeah, but hey, we did get his brother later.

It's funny, but in that draft, they tried (again) to get the outside shooter they wanted... Conner Henry was their 4th round pick. He was going to be our Larry Bird. Then he left and joined the Celtics. Ironically, the year before, we tried to get that shooter, too, but drafting the Steve Harris from Tulsa.

Also in that draft was Andre Turner. All I remember about him was him busting his eardrum and being out for the year or something. In college, he was on that stacked Memphis team with Baskerville, Bedford, and Lee.

One last one from looking at that draft... Milt Wagner. If you want to feel really old, his son was Dajuan Wagner. Dajuan Wagner's son, DJ, could be a top 5 pick in the 2024 draft.

Dave Jamerson was that guy they always wanted, just took a couple of more years to get him.
