It doesn't sound like Adleman is too high on Andersen, specifically him playing at the center position. Not really a good sign when you're projected to be a perfect "Adleman offense" big man.
Yeah, his last few centers have been Divac, in-his-prime Miller, and Yao. He's been a little spoiled at the C.
You think Divac was a good defender? We just need to bring him in and teach Andersen how to defend when not having the athleticism to do so. Ya'll know what I mean .

Nocioni and Martin mirror images.
I have a hunch about this guy; I think he might be the surprise wild card for the season. After watching him in the summer league he obviously has skills, but what was more impressive was his "court presence." He seems to know where he is and everybody else is at the same time while in motion. That is one of the traits that made Larry Byrd great.

I think Budinger is going to be really really good, that athleticism and smooth stroke along with court awareness......man, so much like a young Brent Barry. Eventually Budinger will make Tmac redundant. DD
Romel Beck looks pretty good in that video. But even Stromile Swift looks like a all star in youtube videos. I do like his length and his ability to play D.
While Nov will be a painful month for Rockets fans, the encouraging thing will be all the expectations will be gone, and all the angst will be gone. We're going to suck, and all the win now fans are going to be scant. Man, I am so looking forward to November!
Who Knows look at the numbers for last season on Beck i know it's only the Americas playing for Mexico, but compare his numbers with the video i see alot of potential. Swift may look like an All-Star, but has never even shown any All-star numbers anywhere he has played. Beck averaged 31.5 ppg in the championships and he reminds me of Kevin Martin.
