Carl Landry drafted by Sonics

Former Boilermaker star Carl Landry was drafted with the first pick of the second round in last night's NBA draft by the Sonics. The Sonics then quickly dealt Landry to the Houston Rockets for a future second-round pick and cash considerations.

When asked about going to the Rockets Landry said, "Houston really doesn't have a lot of depth at that position. I'm a power forward who can come in right away and fill a need, as well as have an immediate impact. They have scorers, so I'm going to do all the little things it takes to win ballgame."
