    I think it's probably best for Jones to start since he's not really competent enough to be depended on to score and when he'd be out there with the 1's, he'd be the 5th option. We need a competent PF in there with the 2's so that's when I'd want Jones on the bench.

    i think the chuckwagon would be great actually. while his lack of a jumper would hurt hes actually a very good passer, especially from the high post.

    he also has good hands and can cut and finish reasonably well.

    shane also would be great.

    Uhhh, I'm not sure. This is only my third article with RU. I'll check it out.

    Thanks for the comments, man. I appreciate it.

    I think Jones could fix his jump-shot. His best bet is to stay and work with the Rockets' trainers now, because he's too good for the D-League, anyway. He is capable of stretching the floor, but he's just not that consistent. If he does work on squaring his feet up and not bringing his forearm so far back every time, I think it would help.

    The answer is for Asik to learn to shoot the corner 3-ball.

    Until we see it for a few games we dont know this yet. Jumping to conclusions on if Howard and Asik can play together. Let's just see before we pass judgement.

    Only 21, no kidding! and he has already garnered high praise from Dwight after the summer. Why can't we have a good shooting PF on the roster who is not undersized??? Work on your jumpers DMo, Asik, Smith and TJ!

    TJ has great upside but right now it seems like he's not ready for the big stage yet. IF TJ and DMo don't get their acts together, Asik, Parsons, Casspi could probably divide up all the minutes at PF, with 15 mins each. The best thing about Parsons playing PF is that Harden, Lin and Bev could all play together.

    yeah guy is about 2 years younger than Dmo and is close to NBA ready.

    Dmo has some things going for him, Jones has other skills

    Don't think this is beyond realm of possibility. He's already a very good perimeter defender so Dwight can do what he does best, defend the rim.
