    Rockets Acquire Rights to David Andersen
    Australian big man headed to Houston

    Houston - The Houston Rockets began the process of strengthening their frontline Tuesday, acquiring the rights to 6-11 center David Andersen in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks. In return for the Australian big man, Houston is sending cash and future considerations to Atlanta.

    Andersen, 29, was originally selected by Atlanta in the second round (37th overall) of the 2002 NBA Draft. He joins the Rockets after spending the 2008-09 season with Regal FC Barcelona.

    A native of Carlton, Victoria in Australia, Andersen averaged 11.1 points and 4.1 in helping FC Barcelona to the Euroleague Final Four this past season.

    He was also a member of Australia's men's basketball team during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Andersen averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds for the tournament.

    Being an eurocenter, he is pretty much the type of shooting center that RA wants.

    his stats don't impress me at all, seems most likely a bust, unless Dorsey gets injured

    yep, great move...reminds me of the scola trade with the spurs haha, and we all know how that turned out...

    is this the guy Adelman is gonna use in the high-post with his high-post big man offense? He sure can shoot and got serious range...
