    Roy is the other one that's very close in efficiency.
    I wonder if CD used Morey's stats in selecting rookies, because Roy is who we original wanted.

    His stat will drop when bonzi/head/tmac start to get the minutes. Still, he is a great pick.

    Novak is still sitting in my fantasy leagues FA pool.

    im just gonna wait and see if he gets minutes in the first few reg season games...if he does im snapping him up.

    great specialist addition.

    Imagine if we had both Novak and Roy? Roy's who I originally wanted all along, WAY before he was considered a top ten talent.

    I've been trying hard to not be high on Novak, but if he takes his game into the regular season (and I almost think he will), the THREE POINT PARTY is on BABY :cool:

    Unfortunately, I haven't seen any preseason due to my League Pass not kicking in yet, but I would assume that Novak is benefiting greatly from being set up with wide open looks while all the other guys on that list are making their own.

    Still... props to Novak for playing well.

    Yes, but players on the team last year were getting wide open looks too, and couldn't knock them down.

    Bogans anyone?

    Novak will get a LOT of open looks and if he doesn't? That gives Yao and Tmac more room to operate.

    If the left one don't get ya...the right one will.

    someone should start a poll on whether we prefer battier or brandon roy.
    I would definitely have like brandon roy over battier. its a better option for the rockets in the long run

    if he gets anywhere near the amount of PT those guys will he would be considered the steal of the draft.

    Exactly! And it wasn't just Bogans. It was pretty much all our guards (including Alston, who now is looking much improved in his shooting). With Novak in, evening sparingly, he should get some open looks to knock down. And the more he hits his open threes the more he'll earn play time.

    Your language is a disgrace and your racial slur is uncalled for. We are all brothers/sisters in basketball .
