Rockets vs. Celtics: My Thoughts

Ariza was struggling. I know he will be a good player but not an all star type player. He is athletic and have a nice jumpshot along with good defense.

But if you watch the way he plays, he is not smooth like all star caliber players are. He can't create for himself and his handles are below average compare to stars like Tmac, Kobe or even Ray Allen etc. He is a good role player but other than that, I just don't see him grow into a star.

I thought he would grow into a Danny Granger type player but by watching the way he play and his style, it would be hard for him to score in bunches without a guy creating for him. But let say Tmac gets back and do well. He will draw so much attention and therefore, Ariza should do well with a guy like Tmac creating shots for him. I would love to see a healthy Tmac running with Ariza side by side.

Ariza is a very nice guy and he's a good kid though.
