Rockets Center?

[Nconroe]

Seems getting a center is turning out difficult to get top FA's or trade, especially with the league refusing the trade with Lakers and Hornets.

Looks like for now just signed an UDFA, 20 yr old sophomore from Fresno State. 6'10" Greg Smith. Maybe he will develop quickly.

seems 4 centers on team right now for training camp are
27 Jordan Hill C-F 6-10 235 07/27/1987 Arizona 2
Omar Samhan C 6-11 265 11/03/1988 St. Mary's (CA) R
32 Hasheem Thabeet C 7-3 263 02/16/1987 Connecticut 2

just remember with pretty much these players Rockets finished last year strong with like 18-7 record, so who knows how this year will be.

and just two preseason games, both with SA, starting this Saturday, 17th
Dec. 17 Sat. San Antonio 7:00 p.m.
Dec. 21 Wed. @ San Antonio 7:30 p.m.

Then first few regular season games thru end of year are @Orlando on 26th,
then a crazy back to back to back 29, 30, 31 Dec. home San Antonio, @Memphia, home Atlanta on New Years Eve.

So far new head coach, Kevin McHale is a media friendly type guy.
