    Rockets have arguably the best bench in the NBA, what teams do you think Carl Landry, Kyle Lowry, ect could start on a NBA team?

    I think Landry would start on at least half of them. Lowry, maybe a third of them.

    Lowry is overated here on Clutchfans.

    He is a bulldog but he can't shoot the basketball...and jumps into the air too often without a plan.

    He would only work on a team that run a lot and has people that can finish.

    Look at how much he is struggling now that Cbud is no longer there to run with him.

    To be fair, we've got a couple of starters that would be bench players on other teams.

    in the west Lowry would find it hard to start b/c theres a lot of good PGs in the west. probably most of the non playoff teams.

    You kidding? We are one of the least talented teams out there and Landry can't even start here.

    "cant" start here? It's more like there's no need to start him here. We have one of the best 1 and 2 at the Pf in the league.

    Battier is a bench player on two thirds of the teams in the league.

    He lost his chance to start when an injured Luis Scola decided he wanted to play.

    So yes, he can't start.

    That doesn't mean anything. Landry plays more minutes in crunch time than any of our other players for good reason. He's been our best player.

    But I do take back what I said. I went through the other teams' rosters, and I could see Landry starting for maybe 12 or 13 of them.

    Hayes, Battier, Ariza should be bench players in any normal NBA team.

    Brooks and Scola should be bench players for a good contending team but they are good for starting on an mediocre team.

    Lowry, Landry, Budinger are bench players for ever.

    Anderson, Taylor, Cook, Harris should not be in NBA.

    Individually, no.

    But he would make the team better because of his defense and toughness which the craptors lack.
