Aaron Brooks: Salary 2009: $1,045,560 <---- not on rookie contract, signed through 2011. If he can give me 27 point performance in playoffs once a year, he is a steal.
I know it's early, but I think he has the potential to be the best point guard in Rockets history... I don't follow every game like I use to, but these playoffs are very promising this year!
Did anyone notice him doing this...I do remember Yao getting more offensive rebounds than usual in that game tho. http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/4/20/845899/aaron-brooks-nifty-move
Yeah I saw it, though I think it only happened once or twice. He tried to do it in the 3rd quarter but the play got snuffed out and Yao was already on the bench. Its a smart play since to get it to Yao after the defense comes over to block your other option is a bounce pass, and we all know how well Yao catches bounce passes(bout 1 in 3).
Yeah I notice it once and I was like WTF is Brooks doing? But then Yao got the ball and dunked it in and I was like BOY IS THAT LITTLE MAN SMART. I hope it wasnt just a Brooks' miss. We need to see more of that if they start to front Yao.
I think he actually missed the "play" since it did make contact with the rim. I think his intention was a clean backboard carrum into Yao's hands. Fortunately it was still up there softly and Yao threw it back down.
