PG- Aaron Brooks or Kyle Lowry?

[moofs]

The thing Brooks will have trouble with is PGs, not that are big, but who like to post up. Even then, he'll only have trouble with them when they actually do it, and there aren't many who post up around right now, iirc.

-higher FG%
-excellent court vision
-knows how to pass instead of ab who just shoots and shoots
-better defense
-takes less shots than ab, meaning more shots for the efficient shooters such as scola and yao
-finishes much better at the rim
-toughness and strength

compared to aaron brooks

-bad defender
-can't create for others much
-erratic




AB is more suited to instant offense off the bench.

as we can all see shane plays all those minutes due to his defense. defensive players always gets more minutes than instant offense guys

I'm going to say we give Lowry a chance now, good defender, good at driving to the hole, and a great facilitator. AB seems more suited off the bench with his scoring, I say we give it a shot at least, couldn't hurt.

Like I stated when we first made the trade, I like Lowry's potential more, but I'd expect Brooks to finish out the season due to his range, but Lowry is a much better defender, and finisher around the basket. Brooks can get to the basket, but he's content chucking away from long range.

yea most of us knew that after the first time we saw lowry play, i still think they should split minutes, but let lowry start

If I got to choose, I would choose lowry. It would take some burden off T-mac when he comes back (if he comes back) since he has to do the major playmaking and shot creating job and run point guard. The rockets never had a true point guard, they're all shoot first. People want Brooks to start cuz of his scoring, but thats not what we need, we got enough scorers on this team for starting 5. Lowry is a great point guard he averaged 9/6 in 25 minutes last season when mike went down in injury. I think he can make a difference either way though. We can bring Brooks or lowry off the bench for energy. But, lowry would make it easier for the team to score overall.

I agree on this, Rockets has too many scorers already, they don't need another shoot first PG starting, worse when he's unable to pass the ball to wide open players when he penetrates.
Brooks scoring coudl be more useful coming off the bench.

For mid/long term, Hinrich is the best option IMO.....totally undervalued now because of a somehow big contract and being Rose a franchise project....Bulls are most likely to be open for a trade next season, specially if last-year contracts could be offered to them in the pack.

I think it's debatable that Lowry might actually be better than Brooks right now, particularly defensively. But Brooks has more upside and they are close enough that I do not believe it is worth starting Lowry because of it. Given that we aren't in serious contention it'll help us in the long run to give Brooks that experience.

And you guys so overrate Hinrich it's ridiculous. CHI fans hate Hinrich, and he is in no way undervalued with that atrocious contract he has. Morey is not touching Hinrich I can guarantee you that much.

With McGrady having gone down, there's really no reason to even remotely consider Hinrich any more - regardless of whether he was a good idea before that or not.
