    1) Will Olajuwon average double digits in scoring? No , This season is his kick back and hold on season , Cato will emerge as the Center on this team

    2) Will Francis average more than 20ppg?
    I think probably , he is unselfish he wont score 50 in a game like Iverson who people keep comparing him to .

    3) Will Mobley win the 6th man award?
    No Mobes is good off the bench but Guards dont normally win 6th man Awards , Its more of a forward thing

    4) Who will be our leading rebounder?
    Kelvin Cato

    5) Will Cato average more than 2 blocks a game?
    Sure , if he plays his potential

    6) Who will be the better rookie (Langhi or Collier)?
    Collie and Langs wont do a whole lot but i think Langhi could do more of the little things so Im sticking with him

    1) Will Olajuwon average double digits in scoring? Hard to tell. If he gets the minutes, yes.

    2) Will Francis average more than 20ppg? No. Mobley's offense will be more consistent, and we added another scorer in Mo Taylor.

    3) Will Mobley win the 6th man award? No. Someone else in the league will step up and contribute heavily from the bench. They may or may not play better than Mobes, but they'll get more publicity.

    4) Who will be our leading rebounder? Hakeem, if he gets the minutes. If not, Taylor.

    5) Will Cato average more than 2 blocks a game? No.

    6) Who will be the better rookie (Langhi or Collier)? Langhi.

    I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.

    1. Yes, when Dream is healthy he will play well.
    2. No, close to it but more like 19.
    3. No, it will go to a 6th man on a more competitive team (championship caliber) even though Mobley will play great.
    4. Dream will lead in rebounds/game but may not be healthy very often.
    5. No
    6. Langhi

    1.Has anyone actually watched Hakeem this preseason? He's been playing great in limited minutes, and his breathing problems are behind. Rudy will give him good minutes (25-30), and he will score 12-15 ppg.
    2. 21.5
    3. If the Rockets win 45+.
    4.Mo
    5.2.1
    6. Both equally crap. [​IMG]

    1) Will Olajuwon average double digits in scoring? (12-13pts/game) Yes, I have a strong feeling he is going to step up his game towards the end of the season and show a few flashes of his formal self. Call me an optimist, but I wouldn't dare underestimate the heart of a champion.

    2) Will Francis average more than 20ppg? (18-19 ppg) No, but he'll come close. Too many other options on this team. His turnovers will go down substantally and his assists will go up though.

    3) Will Mobley win the 6th man award? No, but again he'll be close and probably end up deserving it, only to be underappreciated by the media Rockets-style.

    4) Who will be our leading rebounder? If healthy, Dream. Taylor otherwise.

    5) Will Cato average more than 2 blocks a game? Yes, barely.

    6) Who will be the better rookie (Langhi or Collier)? Neither will have a big impact on team, but Langhi because Collier won't see much time.

    let me throw one more in there.
    Who will be the most improved Rockets this season? My guess is Carlos, not because of an increase in skill, but that he'll remain healthy for the most part (knocking on wood)

    1) Will Olajuwon average double digits in scoring? No comment

    2) Will Francis average more than 20ppg? Yes!

    3) Will Mobley win the 6th man award? Yes! He's got the role down to a science and has improved since last year. Plus, people will be eyeing him all year after last year's performance

    4) Who will be our leading rebounder? Olajuwan best RP48 man, depends on minutes and injuries, Cato will be 2nd best RP48 guy

    5) Will Cato average more than 2 blocks a game? if he gets 24 minutes

    6) Who will be the better rookie (Langhi or Collier)? I don't know if either will contribute this year, but I'm one of the few who actually likes both of them
