Sorry, but this is a terribly worded question. Some may prefer Head have more minutes than Wesley, but not Stro over Howard (or vice versa).
Head yes but Swift... I'm disapointed with his game. No team defense, always lost. Offesively, he panicks when he's doubleteamed and hastily throws the ball... very bad... I would stick with Juwan for now. He helped us bigtime last year..
they need to be traded for over the hill vets. getting Brian Grant and Jimmy Jackson for them would be a dream come true. Where's Walt Williams? WWFC 4 life.
Very badly worded poll. I think 99% would say Head should get more minutes than Wesley. Stro vs. JH would be split. At this point, I say no way Stro should get more minutes than JH because he isn't playing well enough. That could change in the future. I assume he can only get better.
head needs to get more minutes at the 2. since tmac went down he has been getting some time as the backup 1. i think his game as a 2 is much more NBA ready. i have suggested trading wesley for a backup 1. head can backup the 2. barry can come in for bowen and let DA slide to the 3. stro, on the other hand, needs to learn how to play for JVG before taking over the starting spot.
Stro's been a disappointment so far. But give him time to find his groove. Howard's been inconsistent. His rebounding is far better than anticipated, though, so he's earning his minutes that way. Still, if he could give us a more consistent effort, then there'd be no question about who are starting PF is and should be. Head should be getting more minutes than 0, but shouldn't be relied on. Right now with his dribble penetration he's more of an offensive asset than Wesley, but Wesley's far superior on the defensive end.
The way they have been playing on Nba live 06 I say hell yes. Either way they all eventually need to play more. But this is not our real team without Tmac. I want to see how things look when they are all healthy and able to play together.
The posts by many self-proclaimed Rockets fans on this board is ridiculous. Did ya'll cry a river when after Yao's first couple of games?
head should get more mins than Wesley but iam not sure about Swift getting more mins than Howard. What i dont understand is how Swift can play so well in the pre-season and then seem so lost at times during the regular season. Obviously its still very early so hopefully his play has no where to go but up.
We saw Yao and Swift for a bit, and we saw a dunk. He was brought in to protect his ass so lets see if it works. What's up. And Head is a given. Wesley is lost.
I hope swift pans out and gets more minutes later on...but dude is lost on defense and has absolutely no touch around the basket in the first few games. As for head I think he is getting the right amount of minutes, bout 12-15/gm.
I just don't get it guys. Stro looked much better in the preseason. His passes were awesome, now he's kind of under pressure to contribute A LOT or something..
Swift is fine unless he tries to make something happen on his own. JVG should fine him everytime he puts the ball on the floor.
This difference is defensive intensity. Every year there are players (especially rookies) who do great in the preseason because defense is slack. Most teams are focusing on defensive rotations and assignments instead of physicality and pressure. A lot of marginal 10-12 players get floor time also. It's a lot easier to score on them. When the real games begin, the real players start playing and the others go to the bench. Let's see how many times Stro fakes out Tim Duncan or blocks his jump shot when we play them next Thursday.
