According to hollinger lowry will start over brooks? does this dude even know what the hell he is talking about? Manny (Dominican Republic): Your thoughts on Aaron Brooks as the new PG in Houston? SportsNation John Hollinger: Like him better off the bench -- I think Lowry will be the starter. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=25127
i wouldnt be suprised. i already like his game http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3012 gets to the line more than alston (in waaaaay less minutes played) and hardly shoots threes. looks like he takes it to the basket a lot....
That was his opinion. He didn't state it as fact. It's not outside the realm of possibilities if Brooks doesn't play well.
Hollinger isn't that high on Brooks. He dogged his selection over Sessions in the rookie-sophomore game (which, to be fair, he was absolutely right about). I think he sees Brooks as an energy bench guy. But the Rockets like Brooks more than the national media at large realize. I'm pretty sure he'll be the starter, unless Lowry blows them away with his play.
Expect Brooks to start come tomorrow, but if Lowry plays well, there's no reason to think he couldn't be the starter.
it's about personnel guys. brooks can hit open threes, which you need in a lineup with Yao. the bench guys need a creator who can get them shots, which is lowry's style of play.
You also need a guy who can actually get Yao the ball, which Brooks can't do. I've yet to see Brooks re-post Yao but I've seen Brooks look at Yao with his man sealed and then swing the ball away or drive it in himselft to get blocked too many times.
I would love to see Lowry start, but.... since Yao is on the starting lineup and he draws a lot of double teams. It might be better for the team to start Brooks. It is kind of hard to tell at this point. But here is what Hollinger had said about Lowry before the season http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/play...pn.go.com/nba/players/hollinger?playerId=3012
Lowry is a finisher around the basket, and a good passer...alot of fans in Memphis complained that he should of gotten more minutes, i think he can be a good fit for us if he gets in the flow of the offense
It's been reported many times now on 610 that AB with be the starter but I excited to see what this Lowry can do for us when he comes here.
