Op- What do the Rockets REALLY think about Grif and TMo? If they really believe in Grif then doesn't that mean Mo Taylor is a short term solution(2 to 3 years) Don't they see Grif as a power forward? I hope we did not draft him to be Mo's backup longterm.
Yeah, op, what DO the rockets think of griff and tmo? And don't equivocate or say time will tell. You're supposed to be one of our soothsayers.
bigboymumu, i think i can answer that one for ya. at this point, the rockets have absolutely NO IDEA what griff will end up playing. he very well may end up playing center - given 30 pounds of muscle. you have to keep in mind that the kid is 19 years old and still has some growing to do. even if he is a true power forward a few years from now...so what? who says you can't run 2 power forwards? the days of the true "center" are gone anyway. antonio davis, alonzo mourning, etc. are all true power forwards that can play center. same goes for alligator arms marc jackson. griff won't be motay's backup should the situation arise. either he runs alongside motay, or motay is moven for another position player, picks, etc. this is all SERIOUS speculation, though, as other roster moves will dictate and influence these steps. but as of now, rest assured...if griff can play, rudy will find a way to put him on the court. even if he has to run point guard...
See Shandon Anverson he speaks for me. Almu: When I was in elementry school, it was a Catholic School, run and I mean run by strict nuns. One of my teachers was a nun called Sister Mary Hugh of Charity and Hope .... we called her Sister Stinky Pew of Chamber and Poop .... go figure the childish meanderings of bathroom humor ..... she had a wart on her nose ...sewar to God she did .... and was kinda hunched backed ... and an unusually low voice. Anyway, she didn't like me. Not even a bit. I tried everything to make her like me. I tried to stay out of her way, neverdid anything to her. But no way. She just hated me. I was an imp I know .... a real rascal .... a class clown and a a grade "A" pain in the butt to my classmates ... Finally one day she said to me ..... and you gotta believe I was speechless afterwards ..... true story .... she said: " you know what you .... you .... you annoying little man .... you are a **** disturber .... that's what you are .... you like to poke sticks in places that don't need to be poked .....". Then she proceeded to give me "the strap" .... a long leather strop mainly used to sharpen straight razors and to straighten out razor sharp little Catholic boys .... Hard to believe I drove this saintly witch to curse at me .... but she did .... Anyway .... Almu .... you annoying little man .... you are a **** disrurber extrodanaire .... now take a bow class clown ....
