The Rockets' interest in landing young, athletic frontcourt help will focus on perhaps the youngest, most athletic free agent available when Stromile Swift visits the team today.

Swift, 25, will meet with Rockets officials today, an NBA source said Tuesday.

Swift's agent, Andy Miller, said last week that Swift could be visiting Houston either today or Thursday, but Miller added that there were other teams pursuing the forward and that Swift had not told him of a preference. Today's visit is considered an early part of the process.

Miller said he also had spoken with Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson about forward Donyell Marshall. Dawson also has held talks with Mark Bartelstein, the agent for forwards Antoine Walker and Bobby Simmons.
