Doing this a bit different than the Lottery countdown including specific player, naming them, and specifying what their tenure seasons were on the Rockets. Partially due to laziness of collecting every player in each jersey #, lol)

8th pick in the 2009 draft by the Knicks over guys such as:
* Demar Derozan (9th)
* Jrue Holiday (17th)
* Jeff Teague (19th)
* Sergio Llull (34th LOL!)
* Patrick Beverley (42nd)
* Chase Budinger (44nd)
* Danny Green (46th)
* Patty Mills (55th)
* Wesley Matthews (undrafted)
* Garrett Temple (undrafted)
* Joe Ingles (undrafted).
This was the Blake Griffin (1st), Harden (3rd), and Stephen Curry (7th) draft picked before Jordan Hill, however NONE of these guys won ROTY.
ROTY was Tyreke Evans (4th) (Blake was injured, Harden off the bench, Steph had glass ankles behind Monte Ellis, etc.).
I’m not ready for another countdown with players who have the number of days left jersey posts. I’m still recovering from lottery night lol
Love this. You should also post their best ppg rpg etc as wel
Trade!
No pick matters after the 1st.
