Which new Rocket will have the biggest impact on the team? 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Fri Aug 3, 2018 6:15 pm

I am going by guys who are currently on the team, not anyone who may or may not be on the team in the near future.

James Ennis
RJ Hunter
De'Anthony Melton
Michael Carter-Williams

If I am missing anyone let me know. Also, when you do so, let me know if you'd vote for them over any of the four currently listed.

I went with James Ennis.

Mike D seems to think Ennis' addition has been underestimated.
I have come to trust Mike D's judgement in these matters.

I think that Ennis has the potential to be one of those moves that won't get acknowledged as good by many people because they don't want to admit that it could be good. :lol:

Ennis. He’s a real good defender

Ennis was a nice pickup for you guys.

Got to go with Ennis, but I'm really starting to think Melton is going to be a really solid player and I'm leaning towards him. Been reading lots of praise about him and I'm excited to see him play.

don't you love media and fans?
they have the time stone and look forward in time and know it's best to bring Melo off the bench
training camp hasn't start yet
let MDA do his job and figure out what's best for the team
Tucker didn't start until much later in the season

Ennis is a a really nice vet to have, but Melton has a chance of flashing some higher potential. I went with him.

I voted Melton but it depends on how many games Chris Paul will miss this season to injury.
