The Rockets have the No. 26 overall pick in the NBA Draft, meaning they'll have plenty of time to wait and see what talent is available when the draft begins Thursday night at 6 p.m. The draft will be aired on ESPN.
While the draft's biggest names -- Ohio State's Greg Oden and Texas' Kevin Durant -- will be off the board long before the Rockets make their pick, the pool of talent appears to be deep. Georgia Tech's Thaddeus Young, Rice's Morris Almond, LSU's Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Italy's Marco Belinelli and Boston College's Sean Williams are just some of the names that could be available when the Rockets are on the clock.
