Who is the second most valuable player of this year's Rockets team?

I think it is Omer, but I think Parsons is closer than many think. I don't say that to mitigate or take away from the strength and certainty in which I say Omer is the 2nd best player, but I think Parsons is a pretty close third.

 

based on win shares it is parsons. Asik is only 4th due to him playing less minutes. On a per minute basis it smith followed by Pbev.

 

Parsons is averaging 3 more points than he did before Lin was here. His FT% and 3pt% is up 5% and 15% from practicing his shots all summer. Have some humility, mister reporter!

OP, fyi, Asik first name is Omer. Pronounced Oh-Mair

 

Uhhh all the players you named have good defensive players around them.

 

Your also not taking into account the Rocket's high flying offense, transition based offense. The Rockets up-tempo style of play will naturally allow the other team to score more.

 

Wow, I am really impressed with Clutchfans with the votes in this poll so far. I thought it would be a landslide for Lin as usual. I had a hard time choosing between Asik and Parsons. Both players are very important to this team. I picked Asik because we lose so much when he's off the floor. Sometimes Delfino and Garcia can do a pretty good job filling in for Parsons, but we don't anyone that can do what Asik does. I think Lin is important also, but I think we could survive longer without Lin than either Asik or Parsons. Just my opinion.

 

this :grin:

 

Is this going to turn into that "Who's the leader of this team?" poll where Lin gets a huge lead before it's reset to show someone else?

 

It's Asik by a landslide, then Lin, and finally Parsons.

 

Terrence Jones

 

Doubt it, seems like most Lin fans are voting for Asik as well.

You mean before some script kiddie hacks the vote and the moderators correct it, right?

 

Just my eyeball test says Asik. Guy is such a great rebounder.

 

I rushed and selected Chandler...I wish I could take it back and put Asik...

 

you are no great pacha . Your bias is screaming, Chandler is the right choice even though funiscia is a great place....

 

So who's our third guy? Lin? Parsons?

 

1.Asik.
2.Parsons
3.Lin

No question on who should win, and the polls reflect that.

 

Asik!
