Raptors RealGM Mock Draft: The Rockets select... 

Post#1 » by vini_vidi_vici » Tue Jun 1, 2010 12:48 am

Next on the clock is the Houston Rockets. I think either they take a PG or C, but this is another team that will probably trade the pick, or trade players then accomadate the need thru the draft. I like Bledsoe or Patterson for this pick, since Patterson seems to be the BPA, ill take him.

Roster: Aaron Brooks (G), Kevin Martin (G), Shane battier (F), Trevor Ariza (G-F), Jordon Hill (F), David Andersen (F-C), Jermaine Taylor (G), Chase Budinger (G-F), Yao Ming* (C), Jared Jefferies* (F), Luis Scola** (F-C), Kyle Lowry** (G), Hilton Armstrong** (F-C).
*Early Termination.
**Qualifying Offer.


# 1 - John Wall with 72%


# 2 - Evan Turner with 88%


# 3 - Derrick Favors (Johnson) with 54%


# 4 -Demarcus Cousins with 52%


# 5 -Wesley Johnson with 32%


# 6 - Al-Fahrouq Aminu with 36%


# 7 - Greg Monroe with 41%


# 8 - Paul George with 33%


# 9 - Cole Aldrich with 49%


# 10 - Ekpe Udoh with 27%


# 11 - Ed Davis with 23% (Close)


# 12 - Xavier Henry with 23%(Close)


# 13 - Hassan Whiteside with 27%

Mock Draft Projections
Avery Bradley - NBADraft.net

Donatas Montiejunas - DraftExpress.com

Ekpe Udoh - ESPN.com

(not updated!)Patrick Patterson - HoopDoctors
Patterson has excellent size and skill-set for the NBA. He can score, rebound, and defend and was arguably the steadying force on a young Kentucky squad. He sometimes deferred to Wall, Cousins, and Co. and at times seemed to fall in love with the 3 point line, even though he is capable of knocking down a few treys. With a bit of a questionable work ethic, Patterson could either be a steal or a bust depending on the team and his motivation. Comparison: Rasheed Wallace

Luke Babbitt.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

I have a feeling that Whiteside will be a bust.

Patterson - as trade bait.

(Seriously doubt the Rox will be trading at 14, in the end.)

The would be smart to draft Patterson if they are in this position.

Unless, of course they trade for Bosh...............then WE should draft Babbitt.

I like Babbitt. The guy can do pretty much anything on the floor offensively. He kind of reminds me of a shorter version of Dirk.
