What We Learned in Camp This Week
Posted: Sat Oct 3, 2009 8:48 am
1)The Rockets are absolutely f***ed at Center.
When Adelman worries about Chuck getting two fouls and not having anybody to replace him...
Andersen is a PF,and might be a pretty decent one,but he is not an NBA Center.(Landry better start looking at getting that rent deposit back.)
It's the first week of camp and w/all the new players and young players facing expectations,who does Feigen devote an article to-Brian Cook! Brian end of bench is my middle name Cook! How many idiot GMs are going to buy the new,improved Brian Cook-see he even takes it to the basket! Of course it just takes one.
Easy prediction-Rockets will have a new Center on the team before the season starts.
2)Unless Chase Budinger is a human turnstile on D,he's going to get alot of minutes as a reserve 2/3. Alot of minutes. Once McGrady comes back the Second unit will be Lowry,Battier,Budinger,Andersen and Hayes. That group wil pick-n-roll other team's Second units to death.
3)Lowry spent the first 3 days in camp at SG. Looks like Taylor is a project that the team will be patient w/. But he's gonna be spending alot of time in Viperville.
McCants actually had a chance at making the team-yikes!
4)McGrady's not getting traded this season. The team hopes to ride his butt into the Playoffs and if they do so,will give strong consideration to bringing him back for a 1-3 yr deal.
5)Either Conroy as a third PG,or Temple as a combo gd are going to make the team. And the other will be a phone call away for an injury call-up.
