What were your expectations for Delfino before the season started?

I didn't like him because I thought he would be the kind of player that if his shots are not falling, he is completely useless. He really brings some grit and leadership to the team and he is helping the team to gel

 

Hated it. Thought he'd just take away minutes from Jeremy Lamb

 

Thought he would just be a warm body, but its turning out like we should try to get him back if we don't strike on Howard.

 

I was against it before I saw how extremely friendly his contract is. Just a very low risk move with a medium reward. He's more consistent with his game this year than in recent years. Morey can sure find those role players out of nowhere.

 

I didn't trust in Morrey. I was wrong.

 

He vastly exceeded them. He's just a really good fit on our team.

 

Yeah I agree, I wasn't expecting much from him either.

 

Charles Barkley once said that everybody in the league can play the game it's just the right system and coaching staff that sets the players apart from one another.

 

this post made me go hmmmm....thnx for the cb quote!

 

Embarassing posts. LOL

 

I was very happy when we got him, especially with that contract, but he's still been more of a factor than I ever expected. Seems like he fits the current team really well and enjoys playing here.

He's part of what i love in the current group, in that they look like they have a lot of fun on the court.

 

I didn't like the trade because I thought we were in a rebuilding year and felt he would eat minutes from Lamb and the other rooks.

 

Delfino is an automatic resign. I'd sign him to a 4 year 12 million dollar deal no problem. He is an amazing shooter who we need off that bench.

 

jeremy lamb feels like an eternity ago

 

He's shot more accurately than i expected, but I've been wanting him on this team since Yao was here and healthy. His international experience with the Argentinian team is heavily underrated.

 

I think most thought he wouldn't have Harden, so I think most saw him as a guy that would play over the rookie assets. As far as on the court production, I don't think we could expect more than the near 40% 3 point shooting and solid basketball IQ he has shown so far.

At this point, he's a bargain being that he's under team control for another season at $3M.

Another added bonus is he gives the Rockets some semblance of a veteran presence in the locker room.

 

When we first signed him I was lyk...WTF????? DELFINO??? WHAT? RANDOM!!!

Now I get it. LOL DDD

 

Yeah, Delfino did seem like a totally random signing, because we had to many SG at the time. Totally a good move.
