    Mo Willoms is hooting 45% on both 2pt and 3pt, plus 89% FT, all much better than AB's shooting.

    Me either, I love the guy, think he is great off the bench...makes the team go, and is a great contrast, but Morey didn't extend him, he is a restricted free agent....

    50/50 he goes.

    Look it up, Aaron is shooting 45.4% on 2FG, and 39% on 3FG. Overall Aaron is 43%. Williams is 45.1% inside the 3 point line, but also 45% outside so overall its 45%.

    Both AB and Lowry made progress this season. I'd be surprise to see Lowry let him go without a real good replacement. In fact, Rockets only have 2 pgs, they can't affortd to lose any of them.

    Don't look now, but Lowry's 3 ball has been getting better. Too bad he had a Raferesque start to the season, as its now only up in the 31% range.

    I think the Rockets signing Conroy to the D-league may mean that Lowry is going to be traded with Tmac....we shall see.

    Ok. but I believe 3pt is more important to measure a shooter. So MO is much better, I guess.

    Lowry won't be gone unless we get an all star. Let's see.

    You are telling me there is STILL a discussion about who is a better fit for the Rockets at PG? Will you Lowry fans please let it go, he is a backup and Brooks is the FAR superior player. AB could average 30 and 5 and people would hammer him because he doesn't average 10 assists.

    For the month of December he is averaging 20 ppg, almost 4.6 apg and 2.6 TOs. Hes doing a damn good job and is by far the best starting PG we have had in quite a while. You guys need to enjoy him for what he is and stop pointing out what he doesn't do perfectly (which is why you back Lowry when he is a rancid shooter).

    If they played against each other, I might just root for team #3.

    I love Aaron Brooks, but in a league with a healthy Chris Paul, Tony Parker, and Mo Williams. Brooks doesn't even crack the top 5.

    MO Williams? Since when was he an elite PG?

    I'll take AB over him

    I love Brooks but this is absurd. Deron Williams has been better and even with CP's limited work I think he's still been significantly better.

    Mo Williams is bettering Brooks in FG% and 3pt FG%. He's averaging 0.7 less, though he is taking one less FG a game. Also, he's far more consistent.

    AB is a good shooter, I've said many times. Just not a great shooter yet. He was great at shooting the last couple games though. If he can do that consistently, they he'd be a great shooter.

    highly doubt they get rid of Kyle. It is hard to find a point who has the skill set that he has. Morey values kyle's play and was trying for a few years to get him. I cant see Morey puting together a three team trade just to get kyle and then dumping him the next year after he confirms he is a good fit for the team
