    With the third lowest assist count and probably the worst assist to Turnover ratio in the league, I wonder if the Rockets still practice those high school 3 on 2 drills or does practice only consist of Francis and Cuttino going one on one. I wonder if Rudy understand that passing like shooting is an essential part of the game that can be mastered with practice(yes, I am talking about practice).

    Well with my zero appreciation for Rocket's passing ability known, i wonder who you guys consider the best passer on the Rocket team(that actually plays). here's my list(comparing to relative players at their position) :

    Moochie Norris: Yes, despite all the dribbling Moochie not only look to pass first but often manuever himself to get others open

    Yao Ming: Great at passing when players cut. And with his height his potential is limitless

    Glen Rice: Veteran savy make glen probably our best post passer, knows about angles and positioning of the passing lane

    Juaquin Hawkins: With limited playing time the guy show some decent passing off the driblble especially to Yao :)

    Steve Francis: Though with high assist count, he's only good with the ally-up with Cuttino or Cato.

    Maurice Taylor: Sometimes the guy pass well inside but the guy has no sense of angles, really, how many time does the ball have to be stolen for the guy to realize that standing at the top of the key is not the best position to bounce pass to Yao or Eddie at the left or right block.

    Cuttino Mobley: Can only Ally-up to Francis but then who couldn't?42 freaking in verticle. Anyway, sometimes I wish Rudy would just him the ball lock him in a room with no baskets.....so he can practice passing the 'Precious' at the wall..

    Eddie Griffin: Can't blame the guy look who he can learn from
