Last year he didnt do very well on his free throws, averaging 78.6%. This year he is doing much better and is averaging 91.7%, good for 5th in the league. He also ranks #6 in steals. So is he showing more defensive capability this year? ------------------ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/houstonrockets2000
Now if only Kenny Thomas, Carlos Rogers, and Maurice Taylor could improve their FT % ------------------
Taylor's at 81%. Thomas is at 80.8 %. Rogers has only attempted 8 (made 3). What more do you want? ------------------
The team as a whole is shooting 80% and that's with Shandon at 72% and Hakeem at 67%. ------------------
FYI, the December issue of Maxim has a nice article on Francis. What's it going to take to have Mobley as an everyday starter? It just doesn't make sence to me not starting him. IMO, Mobley averaging 30 minutes per game is an injustice. We are winning though, so maybe I should leave it alone. Would there be a better backcourt than Francis and Mobley?
The only two back courts I can think of that would challenge Mobley and Francis would have to be the tandems of Kidd and Hardaway or Allen and Cassell. ------------------ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/houstonrockets2000
Kenny and Mo are fine on FTs. Los definitely needs to improve. Looks like he'll get his chance tonight... ------------------
