    Brooks. Hope he proves me wrong, but somehow I just don't see him doing anything special. Even speed is something that haven't really impressed me.

    Shane Battier,without a doubt. I don't undervalue his contributions as a "glue player" but his glaring deficiencies on the offensive end have been hidden by our 2 stars and Luis,Landry, to some extent Rafer, even Juwan during the regular season of Shane's first year with the Rockets.

    Rafer Alston

    Some here thought Rafer's 35% three point shooting as his strength. :eek:

    Yao, Francis and Battier are in a tight race. Interesting vote.

    The words Houston Rockets and overrated don't deserve to be in the same sentence.

    Brooks was a little over-hyped at one point by a few posters, as was Francis last season. The posters that stick up for Hayes, and Rafer are the ones that understand we are not getting Chris Paul or David West anytime soon.

    The most underrated Houston Rocket on this board would be Luther Head. Some people just want him cut, even if we don't need his spot.

    I'd say Rafer is the most underrated on this board. People need to understand that there's no upgrading him unless we're talking about a perennial All-Star.

    Head shoots under 20% in the playoffs. He's earned the disgust of the fans, including me. The one thing he can do(shoot) and he was among the worst in the league at doing so when we needed it most.

    Tracy Mcgrady, most overrated Houston Rocket in history.

    Ask Anti-Sonic, I think he'll agree.

    Tracy, Yao, and Artest are all overrated, and the rest of the roster is collectively underrated.

    At this point in his career, it has to be Francis. If anything, the Rockets have a lot of underrated players. Battier might be a little underrated because people don't appreciate his defense and intangibles enough. McGrady is underrated and underappreciated. Alston is too, a little. This is a great team.

    Probably Stevie, a lot of people expect him to return to near all-star form, but IMO at best he will be a good contributer off the bench.

    McGrady and yao are underappreciated. we have a staggaring hunderd and seventy one wins to only sixty nine losses when those to play together. thats incridible.the amount of things tracy bring on the court is amazing. also yao's interior defense is what keeps us a top three interior defensive team everywhere.

    Overrated, brooks. people make him out to be the next spud webb. he's gonna be a solid player at best.
