Yup his stats are similar, but definetely not the athletic dunker that Francis was...I hated the Horry/Cassell trade for Barkley..Wish we kepted them both...Jack also has a lot of heart...His game is very similar to Cassells but his heart/competitiveness/junk yard dog attitude is similar to Elie's. He won't let the rest of the team sloutch around when he's in the game (kind of like Steve Nash). He pushes the ball big time...
I just hope they draft some NBA caliber talent for a change. Yes, there are NBA caliber players available at the 24th pick. See Manu Ginobili, among others...
The Rockets need a point guard desperately......This Player has not been mentioned and is not very well known, but my suggestion is Fili Rivera, from the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP), he destroyed assist records at utep that has had a few good guards in its time, such as tim hardaway.....his outside shot needs work, but he can drive and has the best court vision i have ever seen put on a UTEP uniform...... whoever gets him in the draft will have a hidden gem....
