Entire roster is now accounted for. Seemed pretty reasonable to me, all-in-all. We could argue Lin deserved to be up a few more ranks (10 or so) or that Lamb should have been ranked higher, but in the end, doesn't really matter. It was interesting to see where ESPN's "experts" placed Houston's players and the responses of some CF members. Thanks, those of you who ventured guesses!
Something of note is that Anthony Davis hasn't even been ranked yet. So for anyone that says Lin has a small sample size and has been ranked to high check yourself lol. The list is meaningless anyway. Just for fun discussion.

Hope he keeps getting better and better.
He always says the right thing! I wish he would take on a bit of an edge (but I guess that's a bit impossible w/ the spotlight he's constantly under).
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/nbarank-hou-2012/2012-nba-player-rankings-houston-rockets Here's the full roster w/ rankings (Martin #76 and Lin #78). I can't wait for the season to start!!!
Me too. Its a quite fair ranking. I was thinking espy will put lin in the 100s because of the -ve press he's had recently
Teams that are done having their players ranked: Charlotte Bobcats Orlando Magic Houston Rockets Well...a high draft pick looks to be in our future.
I think Bill Russell made an interesting point. I always like to here what these retired NBA players have to say about the NBA now. Lin definitely made the guys on the Knicks better. I think he can bring some of that to Houston in terms of giving the ball to guys in spots where they can be successful. I am excited to see the Lin & Omer tandem. NBA.com: Will Jeremy Lin thrive in Houston like he did in New York? Bill Russell: We'll see. In New York, his teammates were able to get off their own shot. Now in a different situation in Houston, will he be able to help the guys that don't or can't necessarily get their own shot? If he does that, he can be very good. A recent example of that is what we saw Steve Nash do in Phoenix last season.
LOL Please dont get the LOFs and LOHs started. I was reading that too. Here is another quote from him: I was wondering who was he referring to?? My heart went out to DRose. Shame on the person who showed him the vid clip tearing his ACL. Rubbing salt to the wound. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...ose-chicago-bulls.ap/index.html?sct=nba_t2_a5
