Feel for AB. Chose to come to Houston even with Pat and Bev. Never pouted or complained about playing time. Classy guy, wish we could keep him just to have him.
Brooks has averaged 7 points and 1.9 assists in 43 games. With Patrick Beverly and Jeremy Lin healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart, he’s seen just a total of 16 minutes in his last 5 games (3 CD-DNP).
this kid is a monster defensive rebounder at 17.5% of all availbe rebounds when he is on the court, in comparsion dwight and omer th%e elite ranked big man only get around 21-22%, and since our defensive rebounding has sucked this could become a weapon
It isn't a bad deal. The Rockets traded an area of excess (PG) for an area of need (SG/SF). Hamilton has not been a world beater by any definition but he has more upside than Brooks and this opens up minutes for Cannan.
yep, he isnt a lockdown like iggy was for them last year but he normally takes relatively good offensive players
He hasn't been in the NBA, but the physical ability is there... he is just often out of position.... so hey, he will fit right in on the Rockets.
23 years old, 6'7sf, on a good contract (2 yrs 1.23m then 2.22m) an above avg 3pt shooter (37%) and defender. Seems like a good pickup has to be better than Garcia.
Good, we needed a defensive wing and it looks like he can shoot the three ball a little bit too. Sounds like a nice pickup in exchange for our 3rd string PG.
Hate to lose AB's experience and shooting, I haven't watched much Nugs, but I live in CO also. Monument, CO. Where do you live?
I like it . Brooks will get meaningful plating time & not rot in the bench & we get a poors man Shane battier
