    I think he is going to break into the lineup and play serious minutes before the season is over. I was not thrilled with his selection, but the more I know, the more I like him. He appears to have skills, "heart," and some attitude. Just what this team needs.

    Good read. Makes you want to root for him, he's like the little engine that could.

    I hope he turns out to be an all star caliber player and it seems the way everybody is talking about him that he is a special player but i hope all the hype is true

    Great news..hope AB could really step up...Hope Morey and Rick would really push through in trading Alston so his playing time could be given to AB...

    They need to just trade Lucas III and Alston already.

    Someone should pull up the draft thread and check out some of the responses after the Rockets drafted Brooks.... :)

    Except in their case, Kobe told them to get him the ball before it crosses halfcourt. Cause that's where he's comfortable with it.

    I'll say trade Rafer, Head and JLIII, so Brooks can see some descent playing time. Brooks sound a complete package, man! :cool:

    Encouraging words and experience.

    That said, for Brooks partner/future partners sake I hope Kidd and Kobe's advise doesn't extend beyond what to do on the court.

    It will be stupid if we sacrifice a chance at the championship by taking Rafer's playing time away to develop Brooks.

    Thank You Mav-Hater for recognising the fact that we are constantly at a dis advantange on offense or defense. I like the fact that we now have 3 guards (MJ, Stevie, and Aaron) who can turn the corner and get to the rim and actually score. Rafer and Luther's biggest weakness was this, unable to finish around the rim and hit the mid range consistently. Also, we were in trouble if they shots weren't falling.
