    landry is gonna be very good in this league. he jumps quick and high, finishes strong around the rim. his mid range j is decent, though the release is a bit slow.

    i say he'd make a starter on many teams, but to expect him become an all star caliber player is a bit premature before we see more developments from him. but again his future looks bright.

    I think he's going to be a solid rotation player, at the least. I think that if he got starter minutes, he could give you 13 and 8. He has a ways to go on defense, but I really like him.

    yep,he got a long way to go on defence but he has the speed and the man can flat out jump.if he gets starter minutes on this rockets team and if he can stay out of foul trouble i can see him average 15 and 7.5.with yao and tracy,he will be open most of the time.

    Landry should start in place of Tracy McG. Tracy should come in off the bench and play his best game in the fourthg qtr. :p

    I doubt there's a post count, I'm sure Clutch or another mod just goes through your posts to see if you're for real, or a nonsensical troll.

    He might be a starter at best. There's a reason why he was in the second round, because being a mega superstar just isn't in him.

    But I hope he's like the next Gilbert.

    Above average starter at best, but he do have a shoot make it to Allstar weekend play along with Yao.

    If this team has a very good record, do not under estimate the heart of
    motivated Chinese voters. :eek:

    He'll be a allstar.his dunk-first style will attract a lot of people vote him as a allstar.

    Doubtful he'll be an all star even if he puts up all star numbers. There's simply too much of a logjam at the PF position in the West, so outside of a coaching decision ala David West its not likely he'll be a perennial all-star. Plus he has to put up the numbers which is the most difficult task. I think he is too highly regarded on this board. I think he'll be a serviceable back up that'll likely net you 10 and 5 in 25 minutes which is very respectable and worth a 2nd round pick. At his peak I could see him possibly being a double double guy. Something like 12 and 10 averaging 32-35 minutes and earning a starter role.

    I think Carl is our starting SF of the future. I think he will get quality minutes for the rest of the season because RA likes his work ethic, and so do I. He is a scrapper with a good motor.
