The time is here at last for the 2011 NBA Draft!
Unless something crazy like a blockbuster trade goes down, this will be your thread for all 1st round draft discussion.
As of right now, there have been mentions of the Rockets trading up from 10 all the way up to number 2. We've heard the names of Courtney Lee, Chase Budinger, Patrick Patterson and even Jordan Hill come up in trade rumors. So it would appear that cheap, young talent is the only thing on our roster other teams are interested in. Because I've yet to hear a peep of Luis Scola or Kevin Martin departure talks. But this was expected.
As far as all of the Josh Smith hopefuls, the latest is that Atlanta is trying to trade him to Minnesota for the #2 overall pick. This would make me happy on two fronts; first, he doesn't become a Rocket and second, the Hawks can finally draft a Center.
But what will Daryl Morey do? Does he stand pat and select one of the "22 players" he has graded as "First Round Talent" with 14 & 23? Or does he swing for the fences and try to jump up high in the lottery for a young guy he has his heart set on? The time has come to find out.
Put on your lucky Robert Horry jersey, say a prayer and cross your fingers for hopefully something special.

Just to throw it out there-TDS Draft Board

2. Kyrie Irving
3. Enes Kanter
4. Jonas Valanciunas
5. Jan Vesely
6. Brandon Knight
7. Kemba Walker
8. Kawhi Leonard
9. Bismack Biyombo
10. Jimmer Fredette
11. Marcus Morris
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
No way Marcus Morris goes that early. I got him out of the lottery.
Chad Fords latest mock draft even has Markieff ahead of Marcus.

It's not a mock draft
It’s the draft board that TDS members voted on for the Rockets only. It’s who we think the Rockets will take assuming these players are available when we draft.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Ah, I was out of town for a couple weeks

Oh, and if anyone gives a crap about when I'll be here
I’ll probably miss the first couple of picks, but I’ll be here around pick 3 hopefully, when the excitement should start.

Question about trades
Do we actually trade the picks before they happen or will one team draft the player we want then we get the player they want then flip them?
We trade the picks before they happen
But the other team selects for us.

I want someone
Who can bang in the post at Center and he just doesn’t seem like that guy.
Too high for me
He’d be a good pick, but only if he slips to 23. I like him more than, say, Vucevic, but I don’t think he’s worthy of a lottery selection.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
Cavs wanted to trade #1 for T-Will
But you were too late. Thanks a lot.

Too bad they couldn’t get Thompson – an actual Canadian.

@KBerg_CBS: Charlotte, Detroit, and Houston all coveted Thompson, so as @WojYahooNBA says, the young fella shouldn’t unpack yet.
Oh lord.
If he comes to Houston he better be able to play Center.
If the Cavs are willing to trade the 4th pick, I hope we would have asked for Valunciunas or Vesely.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

We had a chance to nab a solid defender/rebounder on the wing who could also have fit into the BPA mold and we just handed him to indiana. Even if we trade scola, we still have too many pf!!! I am now officialy doubting morey. I don’t doubt that morris is a good player but he just another unmoveable asset on a team full of em.
We could drafted for need and BPA simultaneously and fucked ourselves out of it. Unless we can use him to nab a better player as part of a bigger picture I’m gunna b realy realy pissed.

I held this in for awhile….but I absolutely hate this pick. Morris is NOT a SF. He’s just not athletic or quick enough to guard most SF’s in the NBA, and we have a cluster fuck at the PF position. I didn’t even get when we picked Patterson last year, but at least he had some room to play then. I’d absolutely hate to see Morris play ahead of any of these guys: Scola, Bud, T-Will, Patterson, Hill, and Hayes. I don’t understand this pick, it’s quite ridiculous. Maybe it doesn’t help that I have this hatred towards the Morris twins, but I feel like I’m being level headed with this. This pick makes NO sense, even if we trade two of those guys that should play above him. Gah.

yeah the first unsweetens the deal
unless we like win the championship or something
Nuggets and Blazers make a deal
Miller to Denver, Felton to Portland, possibly swapping picks as well.

@ChrisMannixSI Minnesota will send rights to Motiejunas and Jonny Flynn to Houston for No. 23 pick and Brad Miller. Good deal for Houston

yeah, for another decent mid level player that can be a good backup

by twinkilling0303 on Jun 23, 2011 8:40 PM CDT reply actions
Well,
the one positive out of this is that we moved Miller, which makes room for Thabeet in the rotation.
Of course, we’ll probably play Donut or Patterson at center and get dominated.

dont insult Rudy like that
seriously tho,Im not sold on Rudy.. its a reason why Memphis took off when he got injured.. it was way long before Shane came along, he simply enhanced the team

No man
He just put on 15 lbs of muscle

I'm not mad
I like the pick, I’m just saying he’s never going to be a center.
by Patrick Harrel on Jun 23, 2011 8:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Andrea Bargnani has 35 pounds on him
He’ll be a center in the same way that Andersen was a center. He’s a Dirk Nowitzki-type power forward (in style, not talent).
by Patrick Harrel on Jun 23, 2011 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions
thats still a small ass center
no whining here but thats lighter than alot of 3’s.. no1 wants their center to not have “enuff sand in his pants”

that should put some weight on him real quick
Weight can be fixed
Plenty of players bulks up with NBA, assign him a strength coach and let him go to town
he actually did put on 15 lbs of muscle during the pre draft process
and he has a really good post game to mgo with his shooting skills which im sure u know about
hes 235 and isnt afraid of contact like alot of euros or just the stereotypical euro atleast

And sounds like Raymond Felton and Andre Miller are getting swapped
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
We could have just stayed put
And got Jordan Hamilton at 23.
im a fan of the move
the future first makes it a lil worse, but eveyrone should have known flynn would end up a rockets…morey loves him and has gone after him since he was in the draft…i like him backing up lowry…love donatus too…glad to see mr. miller gone
by EveryHoustonTeamRox! on Jun 23, 2011 8:44 PM CDT reply actions
I have a theory
Morey inherited a team that had Juwan Howard and Steve Novak as his only power forwards. Now, he never wants to ever have to worry about running out of power forwards.
and min trades the pick to CHI
Minny trades 23 to CHI for 28, 43 and cash.
by EveryHoustonTeamRox! on Jun 23, 2011 8:44 PM CDT reply actions
How much do you want to bet that Morey says
“Flynn’s a guy that we’ve been targeting for a while, we liked him in the draft and our ecstatic to acquire him at a discount.”
Flynn is terrible.
I would rather have Brad Miller at point guard than Johnny Flynn.
Makes a lot of sense to dump Miller, given that he was an Adelman player for sure
by goingforthecorner on Jun 23, 2011 8:45 PM CDT reply actions
Now that I look at it,
I’ll accpet the Morris pick. I will NOT accept the Donut pick, or the Flynn trade.
"Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cuz you were too

seein as how we didnt address our needs so far
it looks like we will have 2 picks in next years draft. By grabbing 2 more PF the chances of us being able to keep the pick we traded to the Nets have gone up

morey
there has better be some big secret move that rockets are about to make to get better bc we now have 2984309284 forwards
Let's give Flynn a chance
He’s been miscast in the triangle offense for two years and has had nobody except for Love and Beasley to pass to. Plus, he was injured last year and never was 100%. You have to remember he was the 5th pick for a reason and we just got him for a late first rounder (and got rid of Miller in the process and moved up in the draft).
Yeah
But for a future 1st rounder? Was that necessary?
WHY ARE WE PICKING NIKOLA MURITIC?
shop smart, shop S-mart.....YOU GOT THAT!
Because we're not.
The pick’s been traded.

According to @STEIN_LINE_HQ Rockets are sending the 38th pick & a future first rounder from Grizzlies to Wolves as part of Motiejunas trade
Don't count on it.
No way Scola is staying.

That’s fine then. I never had high hopes for that thing.

We better start making a lot of trades
Scola has to go.
Minny turns and trades the pick to Chicago
for the 28th, 43rd, and $

For the Grizzlies' 1st round pick?
That was hecka-protected? Yeah, I’m cool with us trading that.

Correct
I am puzzled still about our picks, I hope we do a trade sooner rather than later, if we dont this lockout is going to be annoying trying to figure out what is going to happen.

Probably Dragic now? Flynn for the future?
so instead of drafting a SF and a C
the Rockets draft players who they HOPE can play the SF and C position? Im Mizzou, and they’re gonna have to “SHOW ME”
