I am sorry that you folks don't see it in the same light as me. What I am trying to say is that Drew is young, cheap, and his game is suited for a slow-down tempo. He was brought in to be the Rockets' point guard of the future. However, when Steve Franchise was drafted the following year the team went in a different direction. Those other people that everyone else is mentioning, such as Matt Maloney and Brent Price, are much older. Drew is young, can shoot, he is all about the fundamentals, and is clutch. ...And by the way, I am NOT Bryce Drew
Some of these old names are bringing back some serious nostalgia! What about Jim Petersen? Winston Garland Hell, Granville Waiters can spell Yao for a few minutes a game!
What about WORLD B FREE or ......were the hell is Vernon Maxwell or Kenny Smith? Surely Kenny Smith would like to make up for getting crossed up by Justin Timberlake!
Make fun of Drew all you want, guys, but I remember he started a few games (5) for us a few years back and averaged something like 17 points, 6.5 assists, and 3 boards a game as a starter I always felt he should've gotten more PT. I think he'd be a great fit for this team now. In fact, check out his game by game stats with us from the 99-00 season; http://www.clutchfans.net/playerinfo_gamebygame.cfm?PlayerID=46&season=2000 I think there's a pretty good correlation there between his minutes and overall production.
Hornets Waive Guard Bryce Drew Posted on Tue, Mar. 02, 2004 Associated Press NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Hornets waived guard Bryce Drew on Tuesday, a day after putting him on injured reserve to make room for David Wesley. Drew averaged less than a point and an assist in 15 games with the Hornets this season. He is best known for a shot he made in college: a buzzer-beating, game-winning, off-balance 3-pointer in Valparaiso's 1998 NCAA tournament upset of Mississippi. The Hornets signed Drew as a free agent before the 2001-02 season. In his first two seasons with team, he averaged 3.1 points and 1.5 assists. I found this site while looking for info on Bryce Drew. I’m Bryce Drew. I play in the NBA. I’m single, and I can relate to the pressures you feel. MY game plan? Remain sexually abstinent until marriage."
I don't think that game plan is working for him - clearly all the tension that's been building up over the years has affected his play.
the last 4 and half months of the season, when drew scored 11 or more, were all losses. I don't know how that's relevant but i would give him a shot for the league minimum. you can't go wrong with the league minimum, even if it's eddie griffin.
