    Willkommen bei den Rockets Tim!

    Finally I get a German on my team... Great to be able to root for someone coming from my country.

    I don't think Americans can pronounce our "ch" since their is no exact sound like that in English as far as I know. Closest to it would be a "sh" like in "sheep".

    I think he has a much better all around game than Smith, on both offense and defense ends. Smith is better on P&R though.

    Small height advantage, and also wingspan advantage over Smith. Maybe better outside shooting. From couple of games I have seen him play, I would guess he doesn't have Smiths catchers mitts (who does?) or Smith's crazy ability to make great cuts to the basket though.

    We need to sign Casspi to be the super melting pot of the NBA.
