Rockets select Isaiah Canaan with the 34th pick of the 2013 NBA Draft

I like his 3 point shooting percentage. He seems like a great 3 point shooter who's also a big time shot maker. Also love the fact that he's strong and physical for a small guy.

Chris Pauls thoughts on Canaan.
Canaan apparently beat Chris Paul in a one on one game at Pauls camp last summer. They have a one on one tournament at the camp and the championship game is against Chris Paul, which Canaan made it to. They said that was the first time Paul had been beat in one on one at his camp.

 

This is my last post for the day but my most important one. When we think of Isaiah Canaan, first and foremost we think of the role model he is and what he means to our community. This video sums up a small part of what Isaiah Canaan stands for...

You are saying because he gets to the FT line alot he must be good at finishing at the basket? I am not understanding.

James Harden shot 63 % at the rim this year according to Hoopdata and 70% last year. These numbers are just south of Lebron or Wade. So Harden is good at finishing at the rim.

 

A more efficient Jamal Crawford?

 

Nicely disguised "Sampson is a racist and hates Lin" post.

 

Bye bye Beverley.....

 

Wow quit putting words in my mouth. I did not call Sampson a racist. You are a ****ing idiot.

 

You clearly believed the Sampson conspiracy against Lin strongly enough to bring it back up severely ex post facto.

 

If you followed the games last season, you knew he was not big on Lin and subbed him out at crucial OT mins.

 

And our season was ruined, dammit. We could have won 60! We could of been a contender!!

 

Murray clearly drafted him as a ploy to get Chris Paul.

 

Many of us were not big on Lin at different points in the season. Especially the playoffs.

 

This is just ridiculous.

Did he sit Lin a couple of times in the 4th qtr and OT? Yes.

But, not being "big on Lin"? If you followed the Rockets, interviews, reports, articles, etc. (not just the games), you would know - it was OBVIOUS - Sampson was a big supporter of Lin.

Like Phi Slamma posted, frustrating when people create their own narratives.

 

Extra motivation for Lin to work his a$$ off.

 

Jamal is 6'5. I'd think of him more as a Lou Wlliams

 

Do we have footage to show Dwight?

 

Why are people knocking his athleticism? He has a 41 inch vertical!
