Rate active present and former Rocket power forwards.

Covington isn't a PF, neither is Carroll or poopsi. Idrc what position their coaches have them playing, they're not SF's. And as of right now play here's the order:

Scola
DMo
Carroll
Smoove
Morris
Covington
Patpat
Hill
Poopsi
Jones
TRob
Leuer
Black

 

Uh... I assume that you mean former Rocket PF's that haven't retired.

 

Ugh, I didn't comprehend the title. Sorry.

 

DMo
Smith
Scola
2Pat
Black

 

By the time all is said and done, barring injury/trade .....DMo will become the greatest PF in Rockets history.

2 exceptions - Ralph and Big E

Elvin was here for such a short period and Ralph was a 5 playing 4..which contributed mightily to the injuries leading to a premature end of what would have been a great career.

Big Sexy was here for such a short stretch that I can't count him.

And, of course.. OT deserves mention here. He was an All Star when we dealt for him..who toned down his game so we could win.

But, DMo has...

a dazzling array of post moves...which will be utilized more and more as his career goes on.
feel for the game/great passer ...really important to our flow.
can bust it from downtown
at 7 feet, runs the court like a deer
great position/team defense
a prime time player who thrives when it's on the line

He will be a regular in the All Star game eventually.

 

I agree with Plowman in that DMo will become the best 4 in Rox history. Simply because today's 4 is a stretch 4 & DMo's a good 3 baller. Right now I'd list him behind Samson, Kevin Willis & OT.

 

#soon?

 

Confirmed. Plowman is Clyde Drexler.

 

@ f#%k off with that tired noise, b****.

Are you incapable of talking hoops?

 

If I could add any two of those guys to this team, it would be Black and Scola. Both guys cared, and both know how to play the game.

 

Luis Scola is the clear number 1 right now.

 

Delfino
Patterson
Scola
Hill

 

Here we go - basing this on their careers both with Houston and elsewhere:

Smith
Scola
Motiejunas
Jones
Hill
Patterson
Morris
Casspi
Leuer
Robinson
Black

Carroll and Covington have been most significant at positions other than PF

 

LOL overrating Jones and underrating DMo till the bitter end I see.

 

Grabbing popcorn. Please don't let me stop you two. And fyi, I'm wearing a Mr. Plow jersey.

 

I agree with this list, but I would add one caveat to this list because I'm duplicating it basically. My caveat: Thomas Robinson belongs near the bottom, but he will climb that list. Morris will too.

Five to ten years in the future, I think my list will look like this:

Smith
Scola
Motiejunas
Morris
Robinson
Jones
Hill
Patterson
Casspi
Leuer
Black

 

Royce White or Stromile Swift?

 

I would imagine Smith and Scola will be inactive in 5 years time and hence off the list!!!

 

It's best he just says that and goes away

Dude has no clue about basketball. If you want him to talk hoops, be prepared for wishy washy statements like trade Brewer one day and then calling him a valuable player the next or that Harden was a gym rat all summer and had no distractions.
