How would you rank our roster from most to least important?

Yao
Scola
Martin
Brooks

Lowry
Ariza
Battier
Hayes

Budinger
Hill
Jefferies

Picks

 

Yao Ming when healthy
Brooks when Yao isnt
Scola
Martin (depends on game he is very streaky and could be the second most important guy on any given night)
Ariza
Lowry
Battier
Budinger
Hill
Jared Jeffries
Hayes(because of the added size of Jeffries and Hill he became expendable towards the end of the year when we played bigger teams and needed defense and rebounding from bigger guys)
David Andersen
Jermain Taylor

 

Assuming healthy:

Yao
Martin
Scola
Brooks
Ariza
Budinger
Lowry
Hill
Hayes
Battier
Jeffries
JT
Anderson

 

Yao- no other center as dominant when healthy
Martin- he was new to our team last yr. Give him a full summer and he'll shine
Brooks- great pg, wreaks havoc on other teams D, just needs to take his passing game up one more level
Scola- day in day out our most consistent player last season - a modern day Otis Thorpe
Battier- high basketball IQ and the heart of a champion. He may not have stand out stats but he does a little bit of everything.
Lowry- really could be a starting pg for many teams. He's fearless going to the hoop. Just need him to develop a consistent midrange shot.
Budinger- showed great athleticism and he isn't afraid to take the shot. White men can jump! (well- at least one on the Rox)
Hill- pretty much has all the stuff the press is saying we're looking for in the draft- size, shot blocking, athleticism. Give him more pt this season and let's forget about drafting these other big men.
Hayes- I love the chuck wagon but until he develops at least an offensive game within the paint, he hurts us as much as he helps us. He showed signs of this the latter half of last season
Taylor- pretty much beats out Anderson b/c of the sheer upside he has. Try not to force your shot so much this season JT.
Anderson- had glimpses of what he could do but too far and few between. Given the chance to play Hill or Anderson, I pick Hill for more minutes.

 

I see Taylor moving up the lists this season. I think he will show a lot of improvement next season.
