    Projecting to next year's edition of the Rox, the following are possible roster members:

    Rafer
    Sura
    SpanMan
    Head

    Assuming Sura is healthy does he get starter role back? If Span comes over, is he promised X amount of PT? How are minutes distributed and just how is position 'dealt with'?

    rafer- point
    sura- shooting

    i think that would be an effective starting combo

    Rafer is still the only true PG. Sura is an average ball handler but he can penetrate pretty well. Same with V-Span and Head. Those three guys are really shooting guards with average ball-handling abilities. Rafer is a passing genius - he knows how to run the offense like no-one else I've seen on this team in a long time.

    rafer's got the best handles of anyone on our team including tmac. his problem is that he can't shoot. sura's good and an excellent thrasher, but i don't think he'll every play significant minutes again for the rockets.

    Well I'll concede he's no Steve Nash. But he's definitely more than good...there are not many PGs in the NBA who can handle the ball as well as he does. If you asked me I'd say maybe Nash, Billups, Kidd, perhaps Bibby ... that's it.

    From what I've read about Spanoulis he is more of a Ginobili-type player (not as good, but in the same mold).

    I've seen VSpan play. He's Marquis Daniels, not Ginobli.
