what exactly was the trade... we took pryzbilla then traded him for collier right? and everyone more or less flipped out? i dont think pryzbilla has played much this year, and i definitely havent been keepin tabs, but is it safe to say both of those players have pretty much sucked this year? ------------------ president of the sleepy floyd to hall of fame club. http://www.it-is-truth.org
The deal was the Rockets select whomever Bucks tell them to (Pryzbilla) & send to Bucks. Bucks select whomever Rockets tell them to (Collier) & send to Rockets plus Rockets receive Bucks 1st round pick this year, provided it's not in top 15 (it's not). ------------------
No it's not safe to say both sucked. Pryzbilla has. Collier hasn't. The one month he was healthy, he consistently came off the bench for between 8-10 pts and 3 reb a game in about 15 minutes. Like him or not, look at the numbers for backup centers in the NBA. Those are pretty damn solid. People stereotyped Collier from day one, and with the few exceptions of those who actually watched the games in that first month still do. Collier was very solid and showed a lot of promise. He sets picks like a stone wall for the guards. He can hit the 20 foot jumper off the pick (see the game in which he hit about 4-5 of those 15-20 foot jumpers against Shaq in a Rockets win over Lakers on election night). He plays solid low post D, runs the floor pretty well for a big guy, gives 100% every night, has good fundamentals, and shows room for growth. A hell of a lot better than another Rockets center. (I'll call him #13, he deserves no name) The knee injury sidelined his rookie season short, but when healthy he clearly showed signs of why Rudy picked him. He definitely had a better season than Pryzbilla, and to top it all off we get the pick and so far the better player. Yet another testiment to the genius of Rudy. ------------------ "We're not settling for just getting in the playoffs." "We want a higher seed. There's no doubt.

Yes. Its safe to say they both suck. I remmeber Collier having a couple of good games, not a months worth. And besides that, he was out with injury. That means he didnt play and he sucked. Only blind optimism could lead someone to not be dissapointed about last years draft. ------------------
