Hey John... reading your bio... from Western PA... me too. Little Washington. Anyhow, lived a long time in Houston. Saw Dream play a lot of basketball. He played the center position like a small forward. Revolutionized the position. He has some stiff competition from the likes of Wilt, Kareem, and Russell, for the best ever, but without a doubt he brought things to the court that no center had before him, or has since.
BTW, respoinding here because I'm not able to do it on the actual article. Not sure why.

Daniel, I should add that I thought your piece was excellent, and right on the money. Nice job.

In your 10 reasons for Tockets to have hope, you say Houston has 3 picks in the top 40. Well, we have the option of swapping picks with NY, but the Knicks have made the playoffs.... so we won't sway. We have our own pick, plus as you accurately state, we have the Phoenix pick from Orlando at 23, and we swapped picks with the Clippers in the 2nd round. So, your premise that we have three picks in the top 40 is correct. That said, your implication that one of those picks is the NY pick, is more than misleading, it's just flat wrong. With all due respect, may it please the court.

Chris, Loved your mock draft... great analysis. One change you need to make. Houston has that 23rd pick you have going to Phoenix. We got Phoenix's first rounder in the Brooks trade, lottery protected. So, when the Suns went into the lottery, then we get the Orlando first rounder instead.

Your mock draft... Houston has the 23rd pick, not Phoenix.

Jonathan, don't seem to be able to post comments on articles, so thought I'd comment here. Your mock draft is the best I've seen so far. No telling how it will all shake out, but I'd put your player evaluations up against any "expert's" opinion. Nice job.

Trevor, Houston picked up Phoenix's first round pick in the Aaron Brooks deal. That pick is lottery protected, which is where Phoenix is headed, so Houston will instead receive the Orlando pick that you have listed as 23rd. Any thoughts on who Houston might pick in that spot?
I would have posted this on the mock draft article, but don't seem able to do so.

Ross, you're a good man, and thanks for the update.

Ok... that's not what a writer for the Arizona Republic thinks, or what anyone who writes for the Houston Chronicle wrote when the trade went down, but I guess when June rolls around we'll find out.
Thanks for your response.
