I think he would fit well with the Rockets. He's a hybrid SF/PF like MM but he's a good rebounder. He's struggled a bit at UNT this year, but last year he was projected to be picked in the early teens. What do you think of us getting him?

Here are his gamelogs http://espn.go.com/m...7/tony-mitchell

Here is an article written about him, http://www.usatoday....cision/1793449/

Here's his draft profile http://www.draftexpr...-Mitchell-6229/

Couple of things to bear in mind:

- If we make the playoffs our first round pick goes to Atlanta. Thanks to the recent trades we will have the second round picks of Phoenix (35) and Sacramento (36). However, Mitchell is listed on most draft boards as a high 20s pick at the moment. Not inconceivable he slips, but you have to factor our lower-than-in-recent-times position when hunting for draftable players.

- Every second round pick Morey has made has either played at least three years in college or been an international player. Here's a list:

Carl Landry (5 years if you include Community College)
Brad Newley (International)
Joey Dorsey (4 years)
Marty Leunen (4 years)
Jermaine Taylor (4 years)
Sergio Llull (International)
Chase Budinger (3 years)
Chandler Parsons (4 years)
Furkan Aldemir (International)

Mitchell is a Sophomore, so Morey would be drafting against type. As a general rule, in the second round he's looking for people who can come in and provide some value straight away rather than taking a couple of years to figure out the NBA game.
