Big Baby Rocket?
LSU forward Glen Davis drawing Rockets interest as draft nears

It's hard to believe we're at that time again, but we're just six days away and counting from NBA fan bliss - the NBA Draft, where teams select fresh prospects and big names get new uniforms via trades. Houston is holding the 26th pick of the first round in the June 28th draft and the Rockets could definitely use some size. Glen Davis, LSU's 6-foot-9 forward, offers plenty of that and though there are smoke screens all over the place, the draft buzz is Davis has caught the Rockets interest.

For Rockets, Landry measured up
Jul 1 - Purdue forward displayed excellent strength, came in at under 6-foot-9 in shoes

Drafty Night at the Toyota Center
Jun 29 - Rockets acquire another pick and shock their fans with both selections

Late pick (#54) acquired from Magic
Jun 28 - Rockets announce they have once again acquired a second rounder from Orlando

Notes: Big Baby vs. Big Doobie
Jun 26 - Glen Davis vs. Sean Williams illustrates production vs. upside and shows that at #26 Rockets aren't looking for best available player as much as least flawed

Morey says Rockets have potential deals
Jun 25 - Houston has deal scenarios in place that are contingent on how the draft unfolds

Notes: Big Baby Draws Interest

1. Rudy Gay
Still my number 1 choice for Houston, but he won't be around at no. 8. Just an amazing physical talent.

2. Brandon Roy
Solid in all facets and absolutely fills the biggest current need of the Rockets.

3. Ronnie Brewer
Carney's measurements came in smaller and Brewer's athleticism higher than both were expected.

4. Randy Foye
I think Brewer is more of what they need now, but Foye would provide toughness and a true third-scorer.

5. Shelden Williams
Really has moved up the charts - could be a great low post intangibles guy for the Rockets.
