From http://cbs.sportsline.com/u/ce/teamrpt/0,1601,2520756_54,00.html : Mobley also is a top-notch defender, giving Houston one of the best defensive guard tandems in the league. <hr width=75%> From http://cbs.sportsline.com/u/basketball/nba/2001/preseason/HOUprimer.htm Projected Starters -- 1999-00 Stats Steve Francis PG 18.0 5.3 6.6 .445 Cuttino Mobley SG 15.8 3.6 2.6 .430 Shandon Anderson SF 12.3 4.7 2.9 .473 Maurice Taylor PF 17.1 6.5 1.6 .464 Hakeem Olajuwon C 10.3 6.2 1.4 .458 Whatever.

Although there were bright spots, particularly the sensational play of NBA Co-Rookie of the Year Steve Francis, but Houston didn't do much to upgrade its roster in the offseason other than add the underachieving Maurice Taylor and a couple of rookie big men who prefer to shoot from the perimeter. Hmmmmmmmmm...... This isn't even a grammatically correct statement....

Yikes. Not only did they call Mobes a good defender, but they said Francis is too. Hopefully Steve and Cat can make up for Shandon's lack of defense. The writer hasn't seen much of Langhi or Collier. Collier is a guy who plays the low post. He's not a SF. I thought Langhi would be Bullard-esque (in a good way, anytime you can get a 2nd rounder who could stick around the league for 10 years, that's a positive), but after seeing the Summer League, he's not even close to being like Bullard. Heh, check out the "Bell could stick" part....oops, he's gone. ------------------ The Serious Police are watching. Follow the rules or be assimilated. Shandon is underrated.
