Dan Langhi: Looked impressive. His shot was falling. Rebounded and ran the floor well. I hope that he can be consistent: 6pts/8pts/23 pts. Stais Boseman: Play a pretty good game. Shot the ball well and found the open man. Can he replace Cutino Axel Dench: Rebounded well and also found the open man. I thought he played better and looked quicker than Collier. Jason Collier: Was in foul trouble and did not show much. He had a nice Hook though. Looked slow to me. I hope he will improve next game. Tyron Washington: Did not show much either and looked slow in the brief minutes. Rayford Young: Showed some quickness and hit some shots. Moochie Norris & Kenny Thomas: They should not be here. They have nothing to prove. ------------------
My grades: Dan Langhi: A+ Langhi was unbelievable tonight. He played the point forward even at times and brought the ball up the court. He was athletic, could rebound, could create 1 on 1, could defend, and was a lights out shooter. Looks like a big steal. Jason Collier: B- I almost gave Collier an incomplete because of the foul trouble. Collier wasn't great, but not disappointing either. He could run with the team and had some agility. He had nice footwork, a good ability to pass out of the post, and a sweet hook shot. He wasn't great, but the potential is there. Stais Boseman: A- I really liked this guy, honestly. He was a very solid player. He had good athletic ability, appeared to be a good defender, and could shoot the ball. Looked to me like a poor man's James Posey. Axel Dench: C I liked Dench initially, but I soon saw some things I didn't really like. He wasn't that physical, and didn't rebound all that well. And he was WAY too reliant on sitting back and shooting threes, which he wasn't very effective on either. Kenny Thomas: B Kenny looked good to start with, but then fell back a little. I liked his aggressiveness at the start and he really took it to Padgett. But I also saw him still taking those 3's, and did not have a lot of "moves" on offense. Could have been better. Moochie Norris: A- Moochie looked good out there tonight. Made a 3 the first possesion of the game. He shot well, created well, and penetrated. Appears to be improving since last season. Tyrone Washington: C+ I could tell he was a little off tonight, but he has potential. He had a nice physical presence, had some good speed it appeared, and also defended very well. Didn't appear to be much offensively, although they never gave him many chances either. Rayford Young: B- Rayford looked pretty good tonight. He was one quick guard, and he could shoot the ball lights out. Appeared to have a good handle on the ball and saw the court well. However, there isn't much of a chance of him making the team, as a 5'10 PG is not at all needed here. Overall Grade: A The Rockets as a whole played very well tonight. They hit their shots, defended well, moved without the ball, and had great chemistry for a summer league team. All in all we won by 10 over a solid team. Not bad. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com [This message has been edited by The Cat (edited July 25, 2000).]
Cat, watch out for Mango. Rules are rules, and one of them is "no duplicate posts" ------------------ "Don't think twice, its allright"
Yeah I know- the other was for the game stats though. I had the grades done in the game stats thread, but decided to copy and paste them here as well because it would also be relevant here. Sorry Mango. ------------------ http://www.saveourcuttino.com
