Stranger things have happened. I have been a little suprised how many people assume the Houston pick will be in the late 20s. It certainly can be as a healthy Houston team will be tough to beat. And if I was a betting man, I would put money on it being late 20s.
However, with TMac's and Yao's injury histories, Artests' let's say "chemistry X factor" and their role players needing to repeat last year's top contributions there is plenty of room for us to have a much better pick. Especially in the tough Western Conference.
Indeed. But it's wishful thinking at this point. If Alston can be the Rockets "Rajon Rondo", that is a very dangerous team. Not much depth other than SF from what I can see, but still. On paper, they are easily now a top 3 team in the West
