College Players Who You Could See The Rockets Looking At Next Year

From Duke, Tennessee game going on right now:

 

So Morey went to Duke Tennessee? I guess it's a convenient Hawaii trip while he's at it...

My early pick for Rocket target would be Austin Rivers though. Only if he doesn't break out in the next couple months. Here's a guy, clearly with some tools and vision and a great shot and the pedigree. Former #1 overall Rivals pick which was great at predicting sleepers if they didn't get rated highly for the NBA draft (see Monta Ellis). And clearly the thing that will hold him back going forward is his size (width not height) and bulk. These things take years to develop, and if he can keep his head on straight Rivers has a chance to be Kobe-esque. It's time for Morey to buck the trend of taking NBA-ready guys for a project like this that could pan out into a superstar.
