If the rockets want to a backup sg, he will be ok. But, if the rockets want to a starting pg, I don't think he will fit. I cannot imagine that the stating pg in Adelman's system is a poor shooting guy.
I dont think the rockets really need a shooting gaurd to be a go to guy. if he runs the floor plays defense hits threes then terrence williams will be fine. If they really want a guy that can score well the theres always Von Wafer.
Wafer is not a starting sg material either. The starting sg is a very important position, and we need a good one; espeically we don't have a great pg.
And thats exactly why Wafer should on the bench as a spark plug. the starting SG doesnt have to put up 20 in order for us to win. I think we do have a good pg. yea he's no Chris Paul but he's going to have a great year if he can put up anywhere around 15ppg consistenly then T-Will is going to be great for this team
Again, sg position is very important. If the rockets want to be a contender, they need an all-star (or close) player at that position. I cannot imagine Brooks+Twill are championship backcourt.
We had our all star already and he couldnt get us out of the first round. this year we finnaly got out of the first round with two SF starting. We dont need a superstar
Artest started at sg position, and he is a maginal all-star player. btw, most wing players can play at both sg and sf positions. In other words, we need a good wing player. If we couldn't get a great one, I rather have Artest to play at sg position.
Thats true but you cant say Ron Ron is a better Player than T-Mac When healthy. And a healthy T-Mac couldnt get us out of the first round
Looking at all this post just make me which I can go back in time and bring the old Tmac to the present. His like the missing link for all rox chinks.
haha man that was a dirty play by the Coogs guard........ this is what NBA.com thinks of budinger in comparsion with the other SFs in the draft http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/johnathan_givony/06/19/small.forwards/index.html Best Shooter: Chase Budinger When you're 6-foot-7, extremely athletic and a 40 percent 3-point shooter on nearly five attempts per game, it's not very difficult envisioning a role for you in the NBA. Chase Budinger comes with the added benefit of being a very experienced college player with an excellent feel for the game, making him a natural fit as a quality role player on a team looking for depth on the wing. Budinger will have to show that he can defend his position at the NBA level if he's to justify his playing time, but all the pieces are in place for him to stick in the league for a long time as long as he continues to improve.
Artest can play SF on offense and can defend most SF's and SG's. He is a poor to erratic 3 point shooter at best. He shot the ball better with the Kings which was a disappointment for me this year, although I was fearing that this would happen. We do need an upgrade at the swingman spot. Wafer did a good job slashing to the basket along with a few 3's but not much else.Having Brandon Roy here would push us up nearer to an elite level. T.Williams looks like a guy who can come up with quick steals, but I haven't seen enough of him to see if he can become a look on defender. He can shoot a bit,but can't be relied upon to be a shooter or scorer.He can run in the open court but the one thing that he really lacks IMO is the ability to drive with the ball. He can pass but I don't think he be relied upon as a passer. I see him as an overall upgrade to Wafer but not more than that. I admit I thought he was better than what I think of him now.
He's likely be in the late 20s cause he sucks and likely will turn out like Joe Alexander of the Bucks, just not as strong. And Joe Alexander has more potential than him; that's why he was drafted 8th in last year's draft, which was a way stronger draft class than this years. Chase Budinger = Joe Alexander lite oh btw I wanted to post this highlight video of T-Will: <object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http:// www.youtube.com/v/gH5b0nMl1gw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gH5b0nMl1gw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object> Video doesn't show much but him dunking (he has to be the best in-game dunker in college right now or the draft)but wanted to post it to show just how athletic the guy really is and it's my favorite mix of his too.
also wanted to point out the at the 1.37 mark he dunks the ball over Donte Greene; the guy he we got last year in the draft to get Artest.
Alright, so for those who love Terrence Williams, how much are you willing to give up for him? I'm thinking he's a potential riser because his biggest two weaknesses are ball-handling and shooting; the first can be improved drastically by drills and learning the workouts, while hot shooting in private workouts could easily cause a team to overlook his body of work (and he's got great mechanics, so one could easily mistake it for genuine improvement). So let's say he's the #16 pick; moving up that high is likely gonna cost Landry; is that worth it? If it's the Bulls, maybe a Tyrus Thomas+#16 for Landry, Barry and a future first? Or for the Chase Budinger fans, Thomas+#26 for Landry and Barry?
I like Landry more than Tyrus Thomas cause he is better offensively but Thomas is way better defensively. The trade looks good to me doh.
I disagree with you Chase is more skilled than Joe Alexander offensively.... Alexander was very raw and didn't have a great jump shot <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2texUcpNGu4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2texUcpNGu4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ID8LSJu4GRQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ID8LSJu4GRQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> ^^^^^^ Lute Olsen is one of the best coaches in basketball history... he said Budinger was the best player he has ever recruited, Chase also has IMO one of the best jump shots in the draft, his mechanics are perfect...
