    Even though his strength isnt in rebounding, he will be one of the versatile players that Rudy likes. With Olajuwon at full strength, Kenny Thomas, and Jason Collier (maybe even Cato) we will do fine in the rebounding department. At 2.25 mil per year, this guy might be just what we are looking for. One question though: whats he like on defensive?

    Not great D, not bad D-though most will say bad.

    Tends to hold opponents to less than he scores in games I've seen. I've never seen him torched, but only seen 10-15 games. I saw him contain Garnett once to just over 20.

    The rockets have probably the second best rebounding backcourt. Langhi at 6'11 may be a decent rebounding 3. When Olajuwon is in there, his rebounding shouldn't be a problem.

    The time to worry is if Cato, Mo, Walt, Moochie and Mobley are on the court simultaneously. M&M is good, 3M bad.
