    Eddie Griffin, Rockets: Let’s stick with the Rockets for a second, shall we? What is it with the Rockets and bust forwards? Kelvin Cato. Maurice Taylor. And now Griffin, who is a pro’s pro when it comes to self-destructing. Despite a golden opportunity to put a stranglehold on the starting power forward job due to yet another injury for Taylor, Griffin goes AWOL on the team. I know there’s upside here, but I have a feeling it’s never going to be realized. Some call him a sleeper. I call Griffin a bust.

    Forgot....he included Mobley also!

    Cuttino Mobley, Rockets: Someone in Houston’s backcourt has to be more unselfish to get Yao Ming more involved. I can promise you it won’t be Steve Francis. Sorry, Cat.

    1) Cato may be playing the 4 right now, but in discussing past Rockets forward busts...his name should not be mentioned. He is, afterall, a center.

    2) Obviously hasnt watched any of the games...Steve is getting Yao involved...so he can"promise us it wont be Steve" huh? :rolleyes:

    another crap piece from someone who knows absolutely NOTHING about the Rockets..

    Ya beat me to it. I agree with 1) and 2)

    Until this year Cato has never played forward nor has he been listed as a foward. Looks like we can add Rick Kamla to the long list of idiot editors...

    This guy is talking fantasy basketball busts, not actual busts. Notice the part about Finley where he says his scoring average will go down for a fourth year in a row now that they have Jamison and Walker. Duh. Spread the ball 5 ways instead of 3 and everybody's scoring average could go down --- without any of them being a bust in real life.
