you never seen martin play in SAC? he created his own shot and hit a extremely consistent 3 3 scorers.. still not enough for you? also ariza is a slasher while battier has a decent 2pt/3pt fg%
I'll give you Ariza is a slasher..but battier has some of the worst offense for a starter in this league.
yeah so start ariza or even chase do the top teams in the league right now have pass or shoot first pgs?
I've seen him play in SAC. Have you seen him play for us? Very passive, passing on wide open shots a lot, scoring only when a play is called for him or off of a screen/cut. I would say Martin is feeding off of AB more than AB is feeding off of Martin. Brooks is near All-star level talent and we want to bench him? He has the ability to SHOOT(last time I looked that up its the way to win a game) and create easy shots for others(ariza/bat/cbud). one dimensional scoring they are there mainly for defense.
you're basing his play in a few games with the Rockets? what did he consistently do in Sacramento for years if you reall watched him? also can you answer this question? do the top teams in the league right now have pass or shoot first pgs? Lowry has the ability to drive and get 2pts whether by laying it in or getting to the foul line and create easy shots for everyone
I don't think Kyle is a starter but at the same time I don't think AB is the best fit PG for us either. I love Kyle as are second PG because he brings in a completely different type of play and energy that AB has. He is fast paced and changes the game. AB has his time where he drives and makes a nice layup but Kyle almost always pushes the pace and tries to get easy looks by pushing in and passing out or taking a foul. AB just does not get any foul calls? I guess it is his size or he does not know how to emphasize the foul like Kyle does. I really think AB needs to learn by watching footage of some of the guards like Kyle, Kidd and Nash as to how to emphasize to the refs that he was fouled. I am not saying he needs to flop but a little better acting will help. :grin: I can not for the life me stand how Aaron goes and b****es so much to the refs. All he does is piss them off more and less calls for him.
he is a SCORING point guard. I say keep Lowry as the ultimate Sixth man. That WILL be his role. Daryl has said he's going to pretty much sign the guy which likely means a sorely needed raise for Kyle. Morey is not giving up this ultimate steal from the griz.
Yes but next season with Yao and/or Bosh/Stoudemire in the lane he will not get those same opportunities
Um, how in the heck can Brooks average 5.8 APG since the trade, 6.2 before the trade, yet he is only averaging 5.1 APG for the year?? Your post trade numbers may be correct. But the pretrade assists are wrong. He averaged 5.0 APG prior to the Rockets acquiring Martin(he was approaching 5.1 and has well eclipsed it since the trade). So he is averaging 3 more shots per game but almost an assist more per game. It is ALSO possible that having Martin on the floor has opened up more looks for Brooks that he was not seeing before the trade. But you can't deny that his APG are UP since the trade. Overall the Rockets are getting MORE assists per game since the trade( I think 2 or 3 more per game, or it was a game or two ago). Then again, I have already debunked your numbers on this in another thread.
APG is up, assists per minute maybe down. But not much a difference though. AB is what AB is, scoring first PG, impacts the game in a positive way when he is making his shots, not much if he isn't.
A statement I don't altogether agree with, but that rings with the sincerity of truth that I cannot ignore...
