Will Houston Rockets be able to get J.J Redick now that they are likely to secure the 8th draft pick?

With JJ's performance in the sweet sixteen and recent hype on big underclassmen like Tyrus Thomas he may sink that far in the draft.!  Think Kirk Hinrich- only better!!!

Aaron Gray would be a strong NBA-ready player at center for Memphis if he is still on the board. Paul Davis, Josh Boone, and Hilton Armstrong are good players they might be able to get. We haven't gotten to Memphis' pick yet. I think it is either 24 or 25 though so we are close.\n\nUNOFFICIAL YAHOO ANSWERS MOCK NBA DRAFT\n... right now the Nets are on the clock with the 22nd and 23rd picks... your thoughts... thanks\nLink: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar0o6kPK.mCIKZfwgXEt4aXsy6IX?qid=20060614211829AAjWSwJ

The Magic already have a young point guard in Jameer Nelson. What they don't have is someone who can shoot like JJ...even though I was sortta hoping he'd go to Houston...he seems to be a perfect fit there.

June 28 at Madison Square Garden. Also, check out http://www.nbadraft.net/ It has information on all prospective players and mock draft.  Plus, your favorite player JJ Redick.

I think they need a PG, they could go after Illinois PG Dee Brown or maybe the PG from Memphis. I heard they may go for a forward or center in the first round and then maybe a PG in the second. I think first priority should be point guard though.

I'd like to see Morrison get Player of the Year, but if the NCAA seedings are any indication, that award will belong to Redick.

Yes, I think they'll make it but only as a 7th or 8th seed. There are many competitors and contenders in the Western Conference. Some of the things that have to work out is Bobby Jackson's health, Tyson Chandler's defensive presence, and especially Peja Stojakovic's role. He needs to step up. Last game, he had only 7 points. You and other Hornets fans will not accept that. He needs to score like he did in 03-04 (tied second in league in points per game in NBA!). Lastly, I think the team will feed off energy of the crowd. This will be a great season.

Eventually, but not anytime soon.  Duke is my favorite team but I can't believe he is stealing so many player of the year awards from Adam Morrison.  Redick didnt put the team on his back as Morrison did, he just lived in the glory (until he got into that awful slump).  The girls have been talking about him all year, and so I dont think he is getting married, matter of fact, I think he might have split up from his girlfriend.

They're only 2.5 games out of the eight seed going into tonights games so it's possible.  I don't know if they have it though.  I'd have to say no.  They're just not that good this year.

I think they most definitely will.  Dwight howard is a beast.  He has really developed into one of the most promising big men in the league, and is really starting to anchor down that defense.  Grant Hill is back and playing well, though who knows if he'll stay healthy.  What i like the most is their depth.  With Nelson, Dooling and Arroyo, they can play whoever has the hot hand at point guard, and also can go small when needed, playing two out of the three.  They have the outside shooting of garrity and turkoglu and it will only get better once Redick comes back.  I think they'll make the playoffs,  but they won't be a contender until Howard really develops some post moves.  Right now he overpowers everyone, but soon he'll just be able to score eery time from 8 feet in like shaq or duncan.  The other big thing that will help is if Darko can continue to develop as a defender and rebounder to complement howard.  If he can do this, as well as hit some open jump shots then the magic can be a serious contender in the east.

He will be going to Boston in a three way trade but it will be put off until July 1st when free agency begins. Because I belive the third team might be the Cavs with Drew Gooden. The sixers will most likley aquire Gooden, Gerald Green, a firts round draft pick and a trade exemption. The cavs would get wally. Now someone said that A.I going to Boston would be a waste. think about it. A.I and Pierce on the same team with those young guys around them. thats dangerous.       Jessi

My hunch is that they want Bargnani and should trade down to 4 or 5 to get him. If they don't, I expect they take Aldridge at 1.

i think that since the departure of shaq, derek fisher and guys like fox and horry really left a huge void in the chemistry department. what we're seeing now is a lakers team that is rebuilding. reaching the playoffs wud be a big thing for them. but once their players blossom within the traingle there will be a bright future for them especially lamar odom. odom may not be consistent in scoring but look at his other stats like reb and asst. plus they need a quality big man. all in all there trying to find the pieces that would fit #8

i think brewer is a better fit that redick.  the jazz roster lacks good athletes...look at okur, boozer, harpring, collins...and now they bring in araujo.  they need a slasher and brewer can do that...he's got a great dribble and he's quick.

Here is the question you should ask yourself. What player would you take with the second pick? What player would you expect to get with the 4th or 5th pick? There will be a little dropoff there, but it might be acceptable if it means trading the 15th pick for the 12th or 13th. I don't think I would do it myself, but there might be cases where this will work out pretty well.

Yes i do agree with you J.J Reddick is a man, but look at all that other players do to spark their team.. Villanova lost without Allan Ray. Anyways, there are tons of spot up shooters in the NBA so i think J.J. should work on other areas of his game (such as defense)

The highest priority for the Rockets should be finding an athletic/versatile wing who can score and play defense to complement Tracy McGrady and serve as insurance if he gets hurt again.  If they could trade for Brandon Roy in the draft, that might be ideal.  Their second priority should be finding some help at the point.  Rafer Alston did OK, but they really need a floor general/ball distributor.  The Rockets have always been at their best when Bob Sura plays, but he hasn't been healthy for a while and can't be counted on.  Thirdly, the Rockets need to acquire a bruiser of sorts to protect Yao Ming.  Juwan Howard and Stro Swift are kind of soft and Mutombo is kind of old.
