    He's the most beloved rockets since chuck and battier, we seen his potential, his 20 point games. The kid can ball, no doubt. But assuming howard comes, and we get another star. Can Chandler be harden?

    Discuss.

    Now? Probably not. In 2-3 years? No guarantee but definitely a good possibility.

    No...but a lockdown-defender that knocks down open Js. Posey or Artest role.

    No, but he can be a starter that plays many minutes, for a championship team.

    Seems with his line drive release, his shooting percentages will resemble T-macs. He'll never get to the line 10 times a game because of a slow first step. Maybe a poor man's Pippen which may not be good enough for a 2nd scorer but definetley a 3rd.

    Well we know he can be a fifth option on a lottery team. So that's a start.

    His shooting will improve...as evidenced by his stroke at the free throw line.

    His strengths as a player dont necessarily come from scoring though. Will he have nights where he goes off for 20 points? Sure. But, I think the 15 ppg range is nearing his limit.

    I think he definitely has what it takes to be a 30-35 min guy on a championship team.

    And I'm not giving him any credit for being young. I was young once, didn't get credit for it.

    Once his shot improves, he will be a far better player than the mostly one dimensional Battier.
