In this re-draft, Houston (or rather Memphis) misses out on Rudy Gay as he climbs the draft board. However, their consolation isn’t half bad. Like Sefolosha, Barea’s numbers are mind numbing but he has shown his worth in other areas. B

area played in all 21 playoff games for the 2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks, averaging 8.9 points a game in only 18.6 minutes a night to help the Mavs to their first title.

Losing Rudy Gay hurts, but Houston (or Memphis if the pick was still traded) can rest easy knowing that they are not going to get a draft bust at pick 8.
