    These are the guys that I feel are the most intriguing coming into the season.

    I'm going to assume that Ron Artest would have run away with this poll, so I'm excluding him.

    Yao Ming is first.
    Ron Artest is 2nd.
    Landry is 3rd.

    I picked Carl, but no choice for Artest?

    I have always liked Brent Barry's game. Im excited to see his skill set in action in our system.

    I see alot of Dorsey votes. I really wont get excited about what he does till he does it in a regular season game. Even Kelvin Cato can look like a all-star in the preseason.

    Brooks and Dorsey, then Head. I wanna see how much better Brooks has gotten and of course i wanna see Dorsey's first game. I also look forward to seeing if Head can get some minutes this season.

    i dont think brent will play much he is a vet and i would be surprised if he plays 10 mins or more. esp with tracy and shane out it wouldnt make sense for him to be in there playing a role he normally wouldnt play (starting sg) in the reg season.


    i am looking forward to seeing Landry and Dorsey play...Landry more because of what he can do with his knee

    I'm a little surprised at the early Dorsey support myself. I obviously think his debut is intriguing, or I wouldn't have included him in the poll...I just didn't think he'd be leading.

    Franchise not playing tonight? Naturally, I'm looking forward to seeing how Yao's feeling, how much Artest can dominate, how Landry looks, etc...

    But I feel like Stevie is the biggest wild card this season. Part of me thinks he's washed up, but deep down I want to believe his hype. I wanna believe that maybe we'll get a glimpse of old Stevie sometime this season. Hopefully a longer glimpse than last season at least.

    So, I'm looking forward to seeing the whole team. I'm the most <i>curious</i> about Francis.

    I guess the success Morey has had in the draft thus far has gotten peoples hopes up

    I'm most curious to see Aaron. At every other position the Rockets have great depth, but at PG it's pretty shaky. We still don't know if Francis will make any sort of meaningful comeback, so I think it's important to see how much Brooks can progress.

    i voted Dorsey b/c i know what we can expect from Landry, Brent, and Yao. I don't care much for Brooks (since we have Brent), but Dorsey might be playing a big role while we don't have Deke.

    I want to see if Brooks has really improved. We're thin at PG and bench scoring in general, so if he's going to be that spark for us I want to see it now. We already know Artest and Yao will be awesome this season.

    I voted for Carl to see where hes at physically and to see if hes back to his explosive self, but even though you left him out of the poll and all, tonight's all about Artest.
