If you have watched many games when Boki received playing time this year you would have seen the following Very good defense Someone that blocks shots Great athleticism Great leaper Good passer An inconsistent shot that when it is on is very accurate Someone that has a very good first step and drive to the rim Needs to improve finishing at the rim when he gets there Don't judge Boki based on the rep he has received or on a Gerald Wallace highlight reel dunk over him that was played on sports center. Boki does all the things well that JJ does and he is younger and taller. JJ just has a lot more experience. If you watch Boki play you can see that he has a chance to be an exceptional NBA player. If his shot does not become more consistent though he will never be more than a complimentary player.
If you think the Rockets are in the Market for giving up MoT or Cato then I think you are on crack. Cato has been highly productive now going on 2 years and MoT has been this teams best low post scorer and now that he is healthy has shown the offense he had his first year here and while he was in LA. You don't give away quality big men. Once again you must look past previous reps and actually watch the games.
How about Eddie Griffin? Shame really, last year Rudy got sick, this year Griffin gets in with the law...what's with all the bad luck. I think if we continue play well record-wise, a blockbuster trade is not gonna happen. The forward weakness can just be ignored for now, and A.Griffin can probably give us some productive minutes......when is the guy coming back anyway???
Eddie Griffin has never shown the aptitude to play small forward. Not enough lateral quickness and Adrian will be a situational sub at best.
cannot be for this year we lost our #1 last year and you cannot trade #1s for back to back years [SEE ORLANDO MAJIC CLAUSE] Rocket River
A.) It's the Stepien Clause, after the former Cavs owner. B.) You cannot trade away future #1s in back to back years. Since last draft already passed, we can and did trade away this year's #1 pick.
I hear Eric Williams is on the block... He's got an expiring contract. I like him. Decent scorer, plays defense, hits threes.
JVG just wants to seem to stick with the 8 man rotation and doesnt not want to play anyone else like Boki. Dont know why he does that most other coaches usually play other players for a bit.
