Well, it's a little premature to start calling Rudy T a genius just yet, but 10-13 from the field doesn't lie... There's a good side and a bad side to having a big man that can shoot...The good side is that he'll draw his defender away from the hoop and allow a few more offensive rebounds. Plus, when a player is going off from the outside, like Langhi did tonight, just give him the ball and milk that "j" all night long... BUT Whenever a PF starts bombing from the outside, that style of play tends to move over to the defensive side of the ball and the player tends to soften up when it comes to physical play...If Langhi can grab some boards and swat a few shots, then he could find a spot on this team rather quickly...I LOVED how Langi took it up on that backdoor cut with one hand and jammed it down...That's a sign that he's willing to get physical and do some of the dirty work that's essential for a young team that will fight for a playoff spot this year A-Train ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
I thought Langhi was a small forward who can play a little power forward if needed. That would make things a little different. Must have hit "submit now" a little after you DaDakota. ------------------ [This message has been edited by TraJ (edited July 25, 2000).]
I think Langhi is a SF, not a PF. Sf's don't need to rebound as much or block shots. Oh wait, didn't we have that twice already... sorry guys.. On a more serious note, I liked the hustle Mr Langhi gave - looked good! And he didn't start the game demanding the ball to score - when he got hot he just kept riding it! ------------------
Yeah Dan Langhi was awesome 2nite. There's no way Langhi could play pf, until he adds some weight. I'm also glad to see that this guy isnt really soft and is willing to get physical. His hustle and that power jam was really impressive. ------------------ treasurer of the moochie norris fan club
Collier has some weight and he can't play PF! ------------------ Rockets For Better, For Worse......'til death do us part!
YOU STUPID SCEPTIC MORONS! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -just kiding I knew i should have trusted in Rudy , Dang it why is he so smart ------------------ President of the Rockets/Raiders Fan Club
6'11" 220 pounds?? Get that kid some Weight Gainer 5000! Power Forward, Small Forward...the distinction between positions on the floor can be debated until the Clippers make the playoffs...My point is that he's going to have to get some boards and play some interior defense as well as score...If it means that he'll have to bulk up a little, then get him down to GNC...There is no way Rudy T will let a near seven footer just stand around on defense...I guarantee that he'll be waxing the pine if he only gets a couple boards a night...When his jumper isn't going down, he'll have to do SOMETHING to earn his playing time, and that means battle for the rebounds ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
