Looking at the Lakers, I see plenty guys who would be "Rockets' guys". Same with Boston. KOBE BRYANT is why they are winning those titles. RAJON RONDO, PAUL PIERCE, RAY ALLEN, KEVIN GARNETT are winning Boston games. The role players supplement that star and are the difference between making the Finals and being handily beaten in the playoffs, while refusing to talk to the media. No one the Rockets or Jazz could have gotten at Pick No. 9 or Pick No. 14 would be the guaranteed, sure-fire stud. No one in this draft, John Wall included, can have that guaranteed impact. We can't all tank and be picking in the Top 4-5 like Uncle Joe's team. And even then, his "impact player" picking at No. 2 wasn't so solid. And in terms of Houston being "stagnant", they won 44 games without their best player all season, so ...? Aside from Boston this year, the healthy Rockets 2 years ago were their biggest challenge in this run.
