    Does anyone think the Rockets would like to try and get this guy to come in and play SF? He made $465,850 last season, is he due for a big pay increase?? I think he's not but he would be a nice gamble for the Rockets in the free agency market. Any thoughts??

    I don't like him

    I only saw him a handful of times, but it seems all he can do is score

    Of those who have seen him more than I have, do you have a different opinion?

    I saw him quite a bit on college and only a few times in the NBA. I think of him as a set up guy to a team. A guy that can score in double figures and grab some rebounds. Shoots around 50% from the field and to me might be worth the gamble for not a lot of money. He has good size too at 6-9 241.

    If we didn't have so many mediocre small forwards I would say go for it.

    Lee Nailon would be a great pickup. he is due for a raise after this past season where I think he averaged 12 or so. he is exactly like ruben patterson with better size, though not as much of an offensive threat. he is almost 6'9" and plays like a power small forward. he is very deceiving in the speed department too. he could start at the three over everyone we have right now, except a healthy Rice....of course, that is a big one. he is exactly as described though. will do dirty work and score in streaks and grab rebs....give him 20-25 minutes per game...

    Thats a negative. He didnt shoot the three but 3 times last year making 1-3 and he only shot the 3, 5 times in college.
