Trevor is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLAYER ON THE ROCKETS. GREAT TO SEE HIM WORKING HARD!! THIS GUY IS SOOOOOO UNDERRATED. I stuck with him in the bad times when everyone was calling for his head to be chopped off, and now its such a great feeling that he's really come onto his own and now is the best player on the team apart from Yao!!!
with Yao back... I can see him blossom this year for us. He had to carry a big burden last year until we got Martin.
Trevor still has room to improve if he can improve his handle it will take his game to another level. People that don't want Trevor are sick. We pretty much swapped Artest for him. Which means to me he's at least as good if not better. And we all know at this stage he's better.
We know he can be very productive as a role player. He'll benefit from Yao's presence tremendously. Can his trainer get him to work on his FT's?
I like Trevor. He was a real quality pickup. Hard to get a guy that scores and plays defense. He does both pretty well and i think he can even expand his game a little more. His contract is just right for what he does and he is a durable player too. Thats something I have come to appreciate from NBA players as well as skills. The ability to stay on the court.
Id rather have him working out with some Rockets trainers at a Rockets facility, not some random dude from the "Athletic Kids Association" And what this guy calls the traditional running workout is prolly better than what hes doing right now.. this is like a 13 year olds workout with his school team.. Cmon Trev.. youre gonna need to do a little better than that
Trevor's fine as a 5th option (Yao>Martin>Brooks>Scola>Ariza), so I'm not that worried about his shot when he doesn't need to create. What I am worried about is his handling; I woulda loved to see him with Thorpe working on distraction and handling drills. I think if Ariza could get used to handling the ball, he really COULD create his own shot.
