The Houston Rockets can cross at least one name off their draft board before next week's NBA Draft.

In a letter to Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, a 43-year-old "prospect" wrote that he "will not commit to play professional basketball" in Houston. A seemingly disappointed Morey took to Twitter to express his feelings about missing out on the "talent."

Chin up, Morey, there are plenty other fish in the sea that would love to team up with James Harden and Dwight Howard.
