    Here's all I could find, in a quick lookup. No percentages.

    Isiah's stats<table border=5 cellspacing=2><td>Era</td><td>PPG</td><td>RPG</td><td>APG</td><td>StlPG</td></tr><tr><td>Rookie</td><td>17.0</td><td>2.9</td><td>7.8</td><td>2.1</td></tr><tr><td>1981-82</td><td>2 2.9</td><td>4.1</td><td>7.8</td><td>2.5</td></tr><tr><td>1984-85</td><td>21.2</td><td>4.5</td><td>13.9</td><td>2.3</td></tr><tr><td>1989-90</td><td>18.4</td><td>3.8</td><td>9.4</td ><td>1.7</td></tr><tr><td>Career</td><td>19.2</td><td>3.5</td><td>9.3</td><td>1.9</td></tr>
    </table>

    The farther the Rockets move down the standings, the farther I move down the bleachers.

    Style of play is comparable to Thomas.

    But, I think his stats are going to look alot like Gary Payton. I can see Fracis going for 23 points, 6 rebs, 6 assists or so in his prime. And defensively, his quickness should allow him to get some steals also. He probably won't approach Payton on the straight up defense quality, but he is quick enough to play the passing lanes and pick the pocket of alot of players.

    After thinking long and hard, he's like:
    <center> [​IMG] </center>

    1. like Shaq but shorter.
    2. like Muggsy but taller.
    3. like Avery but quieter.
    4. like Bullard but faster.
    5. like Zeke but younger.
    6. like Bob Cousy but darker.
    7. like Mike but poorer.
    8. like Calvin but smarter. (Sorry,CM)
    9. like Cuttino but decisive.
    10. like Cynthia but he can dunk.

    11. But most important ......... he's his own man, and that is as impressive as anything he has learned out there, this first year.

    He is a cross between Stephon Marbury, Isiah Thomas, and Kevin Johnson. And his hops aren't any less than David Thompson, although he is shorter, so it might look that way.

    He kinda reminds me of Walt "Clyde" Frazier without the D-fence.

    You would not be correct. David Thompson had a 44" vertical leap. How soon they forget [​IMG]

    BTW, David Thompson is 6'4" and only one inch taller than Franchise.
