    That was pretty interesting. Thanks Moe. I like what John Lucas said, "He's already light years ahead of any other rookie in the league."

    From that page, I clicked through to a ROY stats breakdown on Francis and that was a real eye-popper!! Steve's even better than I thought. http://www.nba.com/Rockets/francis_roy.html It compares his rookie numbers to those of some of the league's best ever players.

    An excerpt from that page:

    This kid can really step up to the challenge.

    I thought Rudy T's comment was funny
    "He (Francis) is the best rebounding guard we've had" .Luc Longley said something like "Hes like Jordan" than he said "he doesnt remind me of Jordan ".I was looking at Francis's last year in college stats compared to Rookie year stats PPG APG RPG BPG SPG HI
    NBA 18.0 6.6 5.3 0.4 1.5 34
    NCAA 17.0 4.5 4.5 0.2 2.8 32
