    Because the draft is so deep this year, there should be some pretty damn good talent in the 2nd round. When I look at a healthy Rockets team, I see one weakness. This would be at center.

    We have a PG and a SG that can play 40+ mins a game so reserves aren't as important. At small forward, we have Rice, Terrence "I can't hit a jumper" Morris, and KT and EG who can play a little 3. At the 4 we have MoT, KT, and EG, which IMO is sufficient firepower in the west. Pre-draft, we have Cato and Collier at the 5. Both of them suck!

    As we all know, Ming is going #1. Rockets will look to get another SF at #15(unless they don't want to pass on Amare if he is there). But what do we need out of the 2nd round. We could get a better SG to back up Cat.

    Honestly, I'd like to get another big man who can come in, play D, and cause match-up problems. I like the idea of drafting Chris Cristofferson of Oregon. I saw him play in college and he is a force to be reckoned with. His weaknesses are his offensive abilities and his speed. The dude is 7'0 and 300 lbs. He is a true center who has good potential.

    I don't see a problem with drafting another center. Ming won't be able to play more than 30 min a game and Cato will probably get a hangnail and miss half the season.
