    Just to change the subject a little.

    What do you think of our second round picks:

    #32: Steve Novak 6-10 / 220 Marquette
    #44: Lior Eliyahu 6-9 / 225 Israel

    Do you think we picked well. I know it is too late, but do you prefer if the Rockets picked other players.

    At #32 available players: PJ Tucker, Craig Smith, Boby Jones
    At #44 available players: Alexander Johnson, Dee Brown, Paul Milsap

    I think Steve Novak's pick was decent. PJ Tucker would be a nice tough player for us.

    I have no idea about Lior but we could have used a backup point guard in Dee Brown or power forward in Alexander Johnson.

    #32 pick is decent, and is for the team need.

    #44 is picked for biz use, rox owner will sell this team, who can afford it? who is richest man in this country? who has more $$ spend with rox on ad?

    Steve Novak was a great pickup..we need more shooters..

    he should get more open looks on this team with Yao and T-Mac

    seems like a great fit

    I would have preferred Gibson... he showed a lot of promise at the point, where we could use help, and has a great jump shot as well...

    But overall, no real regrets. Solid choice in Novak.

    Hell if we want a 6'9 225 pound small forward we should just keep....you know where I'm going with this one.
