Best modern 10-man Rockets rotation

[durantbird]

Pick ten players, you can use their best season wearing Rockets uniform (at least 50% of the season playing for the Rockets).
Assemble your best 10-man rotation best suited in your eyes to compete in modern-game environment.

My pick:
Chris Paul / (James Harden)
James Harden / Tracy McGrady
Clyde Drexler / Trevor Ariza / Scottie Pippen
Shane Battier / Elvin Hayes
Hakeem Olajuwon / Moses Malone

Potential candidates:
Calvin Murphy, Ralph Sampson, Yao Ming, Rudy Tomjanovich, Amen Thompson, PJ Tucker, Charles Barkley, Alperen Sengun, Patrick Beverley, Steve Francis, Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, Cuttino Mobley, Kenny Smith, Dillon Brooks

James Harden / Chris Paul
Clyde Drexler / Tracy McGrady
Ron Artest / Charles Barkley
Hakeem Olajuwon / Ralph Sampson
Moses Malone / Yao Ming

Yeah, I know I'm sizing upwards but I think this would be the best team. Tempted to put Otis Thorpe.

I'll go with:

James Harden / Chris Paul
Clyde Drexler / Tracy McGrady
Ron Artest / Shane Battier
Rudy Tomjanovich / Robert Horry
Hakeem Olajuwon / Moses Malone

Definitely some fit issues here, but I have faith in 9 of these guys to really play a role on an elite contender, and figure McGrady could find a way to be useful too in a more limited capacity.

While I'm focusing too much on these as separate 5-man units, I don't like the lack of shot-blocking in the 2nd 5.

I frankly think Yao is too big to be optimal for the modern game.

Guys like Hayes & Sampson make sense as back up 5 if you want to move Moses to 4, but frankly I see Tomjanovich & Horry as winning players in a way I don't see Hayes & Sampson really.

Chris Paul / Patrick Beverley
James Harden / Clyde Drexler
Shane Battier / Ron Artest
Hakeem Olajuwon / Robert Horry
Moses Malone / PJ Tucker

It's either this or start two role players so let's try the double big.
