With Scottie Pippen roaming around Houston once again, which Rocket player most disappointed you? Who did not live up to expectations? Toss-up with Ralph, but mine is probably Steve Francis. It was so disheartening to watch him play during the end of his third year, when you knew that he was just never going to turn the corner. The dribble-dribble-dribble-turnover game, was the only game he would ever have.
You're nuts. Eddie Griffin was twice the disappointment that Francis was. 3 draft picks for a couple of 'development' years, then leaves for nothing. Francis at least netted us McGrady.
I remember how excited I was when I heard on 610 deilvering pizzas that we had pulled off a draft day trade for formerly associated top pick eddie griffin, I thought for sure this was a piece for a championship, and one of the greatest draft day steals, now of course... IM HORRIBLY DISAPPOINTED I still think he will come back to us!
I think it's either Steve Harris, Dave Jamerson, or Derrick Chievous. Actually it would have to be either Pippen or Griffin for me.
as much as i like him, but i gotta go with barkely, sure he was playing very well for us but he didn´t push us over the top and was not worth it trading away our entire bench....
I think Dan Langhi was very disappointing after his near-dominant performance in the preseason games.
Obviously Pippen and Griffin are way up there for me too. some others..the unholy trinity we picked over Rashard. Jason Collier Terry Teagle John Lucas,Mitch Wiggins,and Lewis LLoyd
There's actually a bunch of potential candidates. Kind of sad to go through this list Ralph Joe Barely Cares Langhi SF3 Yao? Cheivous Griffin Quitten Boki Cato Mo Brent Price Sleepy John Lucas Lew lloyd Mitch Wiggins Shandon Anderson Glen Rice Bryce Drew Mircad Turkan Vernon (2nd championship year and forward) I'm sure there's more before my time as well
Unrealistic expectations for most. Anyway, Eddie Griffin had the talent but wasn't even average as a Rocket so it's him for me.
Pippen by a landslide But Griffin was bad I would put MoTay on the list Steve- just may be the most frustrating but he made plenty of disappointing turnovers I think Barkley is disappointing as a former Rocket - he constantly dishes the team on the TNT broadcasts
Eddie griffin...hands down. We gave up a TON to get him and got nothing but an underacheiving head case in return. The Nets ended up getting 2 starters who helped them get to the finals. I didnt consider Mo a disappointment because I thought he sucked before he got here.
