Who do you want as starting PG next season: Lowry or Brooks?

Well, talk is cheap. Get out your parents basement, go ask for 20 and we will put the money in the tip jar and see who the starter is between brooks and lowry. If you have a job that pays over minimum wage, we can drop a cool $100 if you like. If u feel so strongly about it, lets see it.

 

Nail hit directly on the head....enough said...concURRRRR....

 

Ok guys, stop arguing. I believe AB will be traded to Phoenix for Nash.

 

something about brooks...."special" no homo.

 

Do not expect them to do what they can not do. They are both good rotational PG material. But with totally different play style.

Shuffle them frequently enough (say, every 6 minutes?) will give us a fresh PG and causing the matching problem for the opponent team. Because they play totally different style. That's the beauty.

How to use them is the key. Don't label them who's the starter and who's the bench.

 

I feel more comfortable with Brooks starting.

IF (a giant IF) McGrady comes back healthy and Morey decides to stick around with him a bit and up his value, it's even more beneficial for Brooks since McGrady will be doing all the playmaker and Brooks will be doing all the scorer.

Rafer had a lot of open shots the past few seasons, he just missed all of them. We now have a player who can drive in and shoot and make them consistently when given the chance.

Lowry is a good player, but Brooks is different. Lowry may be stronger, but our team does not consist of good shooters. Like what people mentioned earlier, we'll get another Rafer type situation.

 

I think Aaron should start, but IF lowry did start then Shane should come off the bench.

 

Of course Lowry. It's not even close on the defensive end.

And Lowry's shooting percentage is actually pretty good with the rockets. Lowry will get as many points as Aaron if given the same amount of minutes.

In terms of passing to yao, Aaron is horrible.

We don't need another Steven Francis, and Aaron is nowhere near Steve's ability.

 

Whoever...

1. Doesn't turn over the ball
2. Can run the offense and make other players effective
3. Can defend
4. Can score as needed

The only difference is what kind of scorer Brooks will be.

If Brooks is going to average over 18 pts per game he will need the most minutes, if Brooks is going to average 20 ppg he should be the starter.

 

I am not too worried about Lowry's shot. His shot mechanics couldn't be changed during the season, because it would have hurt us too much.

It's wait and see. I'll have to see how effective his new shot is.

 

Each has an entire summer to work on there respective games and its entirely too entire to tell who will improve the most. I have a good feeling we have something special in AB.

 

This was Lowry's 4th year in the league and Mike Conley's 2nd. Even before Conley came, it wasn't like Lowry was a starter.

Please again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Parker came in the league as shoot first point guard. Please take a look at his stats.

I really have no problem with Lowry being a starter, both of them have their +/-. It is not a foregone conclusion that he's actually better than Brooks, he's better in some areas. Some of you guys make him sound like he's D-will or Chris Paul. He's been in the league with 3/4 different coaches, none of them saw the what you guys believe he will be. As big and strong as he is, Brooks finishes around the rim better than him.

Are you a consultant for Lowry on his shooting technique?

 

The "Little Fat Man" (Chinese media name) who can draw a foul on every fastbreak should be our starting PG.

 

I thought Lowry drafted, the year before Conley was drafted. So it would be 3 years and 2 years, respectively.

 

Neither, we need a new PG.

 

Chris Paul!!!!

 

I'll become overweight before that happens... and my chances of becoming overweight are very SLIM..

 

But he is still better than Aaron? Right?

 

I would believe the Rockets HAVE to put Lowry with the 2nd unit considering how offensively undisciplined they are. Think about who is in our 2nd unit...

Wafer - Explosive ball of energy with limited passing skills and only one gear of speed. Totally oblivious about how the offense works outside of his own world. Did I mention that his non existent D is barely compensated by his extreme athleticism.
Landry - Another passionate and explosive player who was unfortunately cut short of playing time due to first a bone bruise and later being shot in the leg. Due to his limited experience, he is also woefully inexperienced. Just like Wafer, his D is suspect as well.
Brent Barry - The guy could shoot lights out, play steady D, and make good decisions when he is with the ball. Problem is he is old and not getting younger as well as coming off a season long shooting slump.
Chuck Hayes - Pint size and offers nothing beyond excellent D. Fortunately, his salary reflects that.
Brian Cook - The guy can make open 3's. Beyond that he is remarkably useless.
James White - Now I am actually fairly excited about this guy. He is as athletic as Wafer, probably more so, and seems to have matured greatly since is rounds around the D-League.
Joey Dorsey - What can I say about this guy... He cannot even make it out of the D-League and according to rumors has a bad attitude.

Case and point is our secondary unit can be summarized by three groups:
1. Athletic with great offensive potential, but completely clueless on D and oblivious to the grand scheme of things; Wafer and Landry
2. People who play great D and offer limited offensive ability; Lowry and Hayes
*Until Lowry scores with more consistency, he is still part of this group.
3. Useless cannon fodder or players who haven't proven anything; Cook, Dorsey, Barry, and White.
