    Rockets signed Stephen Graham who played for
    Sioux Falls Skyforce in the CBA.

    I've never heard of him.

    Joey Graham's (who plays for Toronto) twin brother.

    He's similar to Joey except he doesn't have the jumpshot and doesn't have quite the athleticism. Not really sure why we picked him up when we have a guy by the name of Lonnie Baxter who plays the same position and probably is a better player.

    He's the brother of Joey Graham, who played for A&M, I think. Joey got drafted early 1st round in 2005. There was some talk of Stephen being more athletic than his brother (though obviously not as good of a player). I'm not sure where Stephen played in college. Going to have to look up those stats...Anyway, he's probably got the athleticism that we're hoping for and I'm pretty sure he's tall enough to play SF (6'7" or so?).

    Does this mean the Rockets will make a deal on the 15th?? I wonder if either Wesley or Howard may be dealt? I just hope the Rockets make the right moves. GO Rockets!!!

    Don't expect to see Graham much, if at all. What happened to Baker? His numbers look a whole lot better than Graham.
