    I can't say. If it was a year ago, Battier and Landry would pretty high up on my list.

    Now, it's either Luis or Kyle.

    Its gotta be the Chuckwagon.

    Undrafted. Camp Invitee. Works his butt off to make the roster. 12 man for a bit. Cracked the rotation. Became a starter. Demoted to bench. Not in rotation. Starts Center when yao goes down. And has the record for the smallest center to start that many games in history. Always working to be better, and always has a smile on his face.

    LOL, Vernon is more of a rocket than the guys he named.

    chuck and shane are admirable players and men

    but what this poll is asking is, if you had a single player that defines the rockets... in other words if you could replicate a player and fill the entire roster who would it be?

    it has to be scola. super competitive, crafty, good size, gets the most out of his abilities, and winner at every level.

    as hard as chuck works he's not a prototypical anything he's the perennial underdog.

    shane is awesome in small amounts. every team needs one but not more than 1
