The Phoenix Suns released a video from inside the Suns "War Room" on Draft night, and it shows Suns VP of basketball operations David Griffin fielding a trade call from Rockets VP of basketball operations Sam Hinkie and GM Daryl Morey.

The Rockets were attempting to buy the Suns second round pick at #48. Phoenix instead was looking to get a future second rounder for it, and thus no deal was worked out.

Still, it begs the question: Who were the Rockets targeting?

Alabama forward Richard Hendrix went 49th and I heard they were impressed by him, but then again, there were numerous prospects (such as Joey Dorsey) that I had not heard a peep about.

I asked a Rockets official about the Suns video and it was made clear to me that yes, the Rockets had inquired with multiple teams about trying to buy a second round pick, but they were targeting "all International players".

Hmm, the only International player that went between 48 and 54 (where the Rockets took Maarty Leunen) was 6-foot-9 Serbian forward Tadija Dragicevic, who went to Utah at 53.

Nope, not him -- the Rockets had someone else in mind.

"Quite a few international draft-eligible players went undrafted that we would not mind holding the rights to," we were told.
