I have been reading the reports about Langhi's performance in L.A. with interest. (Thanks to those posters, by the way). Some questions: Does Langhi have the lateral quickness to keep up with most NBA two guards? Will the zone make him a more viable player at that position? Finally, does he look more comfortable in the flow of the offense? During the regular season Langhi often looked pretty bewildered. In any case, I like Rudy's thinking here. It seems to me that creating and exploiting mismatches will still be the focal point of NBA offenses, zone, or not. With Terrence Morris, Eddie Griffin and Langhi I think the Rockets have a lot of versatility. If Griffin and a revamped front-line can take some of the rebounding pressure off of the guards I look for the Rockets to have a lethal fast break. -Elvis ------------------

listen up foo's stop talking this jibba jabba Dan doesn't have to be able to kkep up with starting talent at the two -- he just needs to be good enough to cover the ones off the bench besides -- I think his size and agility are making up for any lack of quickness PS - its hard to tell what these suckas are thinkin' - I heard that Griffen is playin the 4 - so who knows where these foo' gonna be next season ------------------ "I find that the harder I work... the more luck I have" -- Thomas Jefferson "Weezie !!" -- George Jefferson
If your wondering if Langhi has the lateral quickness to guard SGs in the NBA, listen to this. In practice this guy guards Cat, and Rocket coaches say that he does a great job on him. Are there any 2's in the league that have a quicker first step than Cuttino? And with Langhi's long arms, it will be difficult for most SGs to get their shot off over him. ------------------
