It is quite obvious to everyone that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are the two main guys of the team. These guys are expected to get the most shots and points and/or lead the team to victory. However, every team needs a player to step up in key situations. They need a player who knows his role, but still can contribute immensely to the team's success. So I pose the question, "who do you think is the third best player on the team?" My answer is Maurice Taylor . He has been very consistent on the offensive end and has been reliable in clutch situations. I think he is a luxury on the court because of his offensive versatility: posting up, jump shots, hook shoots etc etc. However, his defense and rebounding is not the best, but at least he gives effort. Because of his contract, like Juwan Howard, Taylor's value becomes underrate, but he is a very capable player. Taylor is just my choice. I am sure that everyone have their opinions. Please offer your opinion and vote in the poll.
Oh, I forgot. I thought I placed him as option 2, but apparently it's not there. Vote for other if you believe Jackson is number three?
MoT because he is the only other person on this team that could average 20 points a game if he was allowed to.
Well I don’t know about the 20 points a game but I do agree its Mo Taylor. At the beginning of the season I didn’t know what JVG was thinking by starting him but he has performed well for what you expect from him, and Howard looks absolutely lost. I really thought Howard was going have a good season and be a nice addition through the trade but he has not shown anything but a few blips. The luster has rubbed off of Jim Jackson’s nice season last year and you are seeing how a guy who looks to have so much game can be moved around the league so much. I really don’t understand you guys who think its JJ. That shot Mo hit today was absolutely clutch.
JJ He's mainly a 3PT shooter. But he can hit the mid-range jumper. He plays 40 minutes per game, 38% from 3, 89FT% and so far is keeping his TO low (2.4). http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/hou/stats <---Look here MoT seems like our 4th best option.
Third best aside, do you guys think Mutombo has any friends on this team? I bet everyone calls him D. "Yo D wus up?" I just can't see those guys calling him Dikembe....
it's pretty close with mo and jj. i chose mo but as i write this i'm leaning more towards jj. anyways what happens with the reece gaines vote if everyone automatically votes other for jim jackson?
