JJ is right now my favorite Rocket. He is a great defender, good shooter and a great lockerroom presence. When he was with the Hawks, I covered a game when our NBA guy was out doing something else and he was a great interview. He answered my questions honestly and articulately in the lockerroom and even thanked me for coming out! He's a class act both on and off the court and is far removed from his more selfish early days. It's like he told me once when I asked what was different about himself as a rook and now. He said "The light finally turned on for me."
My favorites-who I like to watch when they're hot. Taylor Yao Mobley Francis JJ My favorites- who's been the most consistently entertaining to watch. JJ Taylor Yao Mobley Witherspoon (Hey, the little I've seen has been good.) Francis My favorite Rocket with a mean streak. Cato. Is there another?
JJ has been a great pickup and although I will agree that his overall game may be consistent but it would be great if his shooting was on such an even keel. Though I do like how he bounces back going 1-12 in one game and 8-9 in the next. His all around play makes up for his bad shooting nights. If only other people wouldn't join him in those bad times...
Gee, I recall Mo got suspended for medical reasons, overdosing on painkillers. Fans here arlready apologized to him for it. What's your point?
It was a toss up between Taylor and JJ. I think JJ has been more consistent so I probably should have voted for him but I didn't. Taylor got my vote.
Now, in games where my favo Yao takes 13 or more attempts, Rockets are 13-3, simple By the way, JJ is really good, with professional attitude both on and off the court. Rockets was so fortunate to have this kind of player.
