We need Rice only for a year or maybe two. After he's out, the problem of sharing minutes will be solved. And by that time Nachbar we be an experienced player and HOPEFULLY Thomas stays trim. He can do so much more damage from the SF position. We'll have: C - Ming, Cato PF - Griffin, Taylor SF - Thomas, Nachbar SG - Mobely, Torres PG - Francis, Norris This team is very versatile. We can do a lot of different combinations for different circumstances. For example DEFENSE: C - Ming or Cato (for his hacking game) PF - Griffin SF - Thomas SG - Torres PG - Francis or Norris OFFENSE: C - Ming PF - Taylor SF - Nachbar SG - Mobely PG - Francis SMALL (meaning quick): C - Ming PF - Nachbar SF - Mobely SG - Francis PG - Norris BIG: C - Ming PF - Taylor SF - Griffin SG - Nachbar PG - Francis Notice how Francis and Ming are in every combination
People were talking about how Nachbar would make a bigger impact in his rookie year then Yao would. But I doubt that. Nachbar looks pretty nervous so far and needs time to adjust to pro ball in the USA.
It is amazing how it is so normal now to see KT as a SF. What some of us thought was normal and possible others, like Jeff, thought otherwise. I just like to see things that you project come to pass. Another one that seem imminent is Rice playing more at the 2 spot. Let see if that happens.
I can't wait to see how well the Rockets play this year with this "deep" team. We have so many more options for matching up with other teams.
If RT's explanation is the reason for his play so far, I wouldnt be so quick to think that Boki won't make an impact once he's 100%. I do agree that we shouldn't just throw him in full-time, but I predict it wont take long for him to take away any doubts. I really think the Langhi comparisons are unfair at this point.. and no Im not saying that you compared him to Air-Dan..I have seen the comparison around lately
