I saw this post in RealGM, so wanted to find out what where the Rockets sit. Here are the numbers for 2009-2010. I actually surprised that Ariza dunked that much, he was overall number 31 out of all the NBA players. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/dunk-o-meter/yearly?&_1:col_1=4&start_row=101 Trevor Ariza SG HOU 68 Chase Budinger SF HOU 27 Jordan Hill PF HOU 24 Kevin Martin SG HOU 14 Jared Jeffries PF HOU 13 Hilton Armstrong C HOU 10 Jermaine Taylor SG HOU 5 David Andersen C HOU 4 Shane Battier SF HOU 2 Chuck Hayes PF HOU 2 Luis Scola PF HOU 2 Will Conroy PG HOU 1 Brian Cook PF HOU 1 So who you think its going to be lead 2010-2011? We might think its Yao but with that foot injury (will we see more layups), not sure its going to be him. We lost Ariz..... Maybe C.lee or Bud, assuming Yao can't jump as high or asked not to jump as high.
I recall him having at least 1 last year. I can't say what game it was, but i remember telling myself, "WAS that Chuck?" Maybe another Rocket member can remember what game that was.

Injury or not, I don't think it's too much to expect Yao dunking once every game. assuming he plays 65 games, that's a number Chase can't possibly imagine to catch.
Jared Jeffries with 13 dunks??? I thought he could only do layups. And I didn't think he could make 13 layups.
Your leader next season. 24 dunks with only a small part of the season with Houston? Yeaaah, he's going to get more than Ariza did last season.
actually, IIRC it was a GREAT dunk.. first he pump fake it to send the opponent to the wasteland and he threw it down.. and i also remember the reaction of the Clutchfans (that makes the dunk even more greater), like "OMG, it's like a JORDAN!" or something.. :grin:

I think Yao will lead the team, and if Jordan Hill plays a lot then he is 2nd. From the wing position, it will be CBud. DD
