[Houston Chronicle] Rockets sign Kelenna Azubuike

Kelenna?, sounds like a shooter for the Comets.

 

A trade better be in the works, and this had better not be the finishing touches on the roster. Looks like right now we've got a starting 5 (debatable), and a whole lotta scrubs. Tmac and Yao can't win alone.

 

I sure hope so. And then I hope there is one left over roster space to offer a minimum contract to Qyntel Woods.

 

DraftExpress's scouting report:

Strengths
Weaknesses

He played VERY well in the summer leagues, according to the stats, at least. Then again, it seems lots of players on the Nuggets put up big numbers in the Vegas summer league. As a team, the Nuggets averaged 104 points a game on 51% shooting. Compare that to the Rockets summer league team, which averaged only 76 points a game on 48% shooting. Nuggets clearly played at a spectucular pace, so the numbers are inflated.

Still, without adjusting for pace, Azubuike's per minute numbers were just outstanding. No idea how that will translate in the NBA.

Edit:
Even after making the pace adjustment, his numbers were very good. On par with Brandon Roy's.

 

Thank you. To me and you this is soooo obvious. Apparently, that is not true of some others, and perhaps the Rockets themselves. How many fans knew that Preston Wilson was not enough to add "punch" to the Astros lineup? How many fans before last season wrote that the Texans didn't do anything to shore up their offensive line, and it would cost them and David Carr. These were my observations and the observations of several fans on this board at the time, and the same is true of the Rockets this offseason, they have not done enough. I am beginning to think that in the case of Houston sports at least, the fans do know more than those running the organizations. And that is pathetic.

 

That was what I was thinking too. Hope he doesnt play like one

 

Yeah, thats pretty much how I see it too. It certainly appears that our team is set for now, and like you, I think we should be OK if we stay healthy. I expect we'll need to work a trade at some point but right now I am not sure what we need. I expect that as we approach year end we will have a better feel for what we'll need to make a serious playoff run. Best wishes for Buike too. Hope he'll be able to contribute.

 

I am calling it right now. The snyder thing will not work out. You will see

 

Explain your logic, please.

 

For those of you expecting a trade. Nothing is going to happen until Wilcox, Harrington and Bonzi find a new home, all guys whom we are not capable of getting. Once that happens all I asume that all of the moves will happen.

 

At least, this makes for some good chemistry with Chuck Hayes. Also shows how much they like chuck, perhaps?

 

I like his dunks, but that's all I know about him..pretty good dunks for 6-5 guy.

 

From the highlights he looks very athletic and a good dunker, but how is his jumpshot and defense? I also don't think the Rox will get rid of Head because the team doesn't have many great shooters as is.

 

roderick rhodes reincarnated?

 

Or Marquis Daniels? There is no risk to this move.

As for those saying "no more guards", here is why we need all the ones we can.

We are loaded at the frontcourt. Yao, Battier and Tmac are our best players. Howard and Deke are NBA vets too. They have limitations, but we know what they are and they belond in the league. Hayes has shown he can be effective for some roles. Novak is a promising rookie.

Front court depth chart looks like:

C: Yao, Deke, Howard
PF: Battier, Howard, Hayes (Novak situational)
SF: Tmac, Battier (Novak or Snyder situational)

This looks to me as good as about anyone in the NBA.

Now the backcourt:

SG: Snyder, Head, Span
PG: Alston, JL3, Span, Head

There are quesitonmarks everywhere.

Snyder has talent and is our lone big SG, but has been tossed off two teams for some reason.

Alston shot terrible last year and other years shot just under mediocre.

Span has never played in the NBA.

JL3 looked great in the summer league.

Head is the most sure thing we got, and he may not be starting quality 1 or 2.

Even if Sura comes back (doubtfull), let's remember though he really played well when healthy and add toughness, he still looked slow, and that was before a major injuries and 2 more years into his mid 30s.

So Azubuike, he like JL3 played really well in summer leagues, gives us another flyer. The most chances we have to get 3-4 decent guards without screwing the front court and creating more problems by moving Tmac to the 2 the better. Further we really need Azu or Snyder to pan out, because otherwise we don't have the SG with enough size to compensate for a PF on the lite side. Also, with Tmac sandwiched between Battier and Snyder/Azu, we can almost always have Tmac with the easiest defensive assignment from the 2 through the 4. People seem to forget Snyder or Azu if they pan out could release Tmac of the quick wing player assingments even more than Battier could.

 

OK, for whatever it's worth (perhaps not much), I calculated pace-adjusted statistical ratings for every player in the Vegas Summer League. I didn't take the trouble to calculate PER, so I used sort of a rough approximation based on Hollinger's game score formula.

The final rating is calculated as:

Min-Adjusted GS = 35* [ (Points x 1.0) + (FGM x 0.4) + (FGA x -0.7) + ((FTA-FTM) x -0.4) + (OREB x 0.7) + (DREB x 0.3) + (STL x 1.0) + (AST x 0.7) + (BLK x 0.7) + (PF x -0.4) + (TO x -1.0) ] / (minutes played)

Pace-Adjusted GS/35 = 90*(Min-Adjusted GS) / (team possessions per 48min)


Yes, I realize this is overvaluing stats for evaluating players in a summer league game. Still, all the stats, ordered by Pace-Adusted GS rating, are below. All stats are per-35 minutes played. Is it a coincidence that the Rockets sign the guy who ranks right at the top of the list?

Sacrilege!!! Battier is the best defensive player in the NBA, ever. He is so crazy bad, he can play 5 on 1 on the D, no sweat, leaving the others to rest up for the next O set.

 

Quick let's sign that Lampe guy at #7!!! I hear he is a free agent.

 

Thank you, Dr. Sarcasmo.

 

Call me an idiot, but I thought Lampe is on the Rockets roster already. According to www.nba.com/rockets/roster he's on the team and he's not labeled as a free agent.
