Just wondering

I don't really think you can justify criticism of the Rockets for not drafting him after a week long summer league, but here are his numbers. http://www.nba.com/Celtics/shaws_stats_000726.html

Sign Mo Taylor. Bench Kenny Thomas.

 

Are "Just Wondering" threads early incarnations of "What If" threads. Like after a few "Just Wondering" trial balloons then you are ready for the big leagues...the "What If".

...I'm just wondering

 

Still feeling frisky HP?

------------------
In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things:
1. Don't tell everything you know.

 

We should have drafted ETON THOMAS. Can someone please pull up his college and summer league stats? Thanks.

 

Thomas was hurt in the summer leagues.

For a comparison though, let's look at Thomas' senior year vs. Collier's senior year.

Thomas- 13.6 ppg, 9.3 reb
Collier-17.0 ppg, 9.2 reb

Don't see how he's that great or much better than Collier, and yes I did watch both of them play in college.

Its Saturday night - heypartner will have a few beers and some cheetos under his belt bynow.

Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info

 

Yeah, and if he ain't "gettin' any" we're all doomed...



------------------
Just shut up and post

 

Collier won't be half the player that Thomas will be. Plus Thomas had like 3teamates that scored in double figures so
he didn't get as many touches as Collier.
I think Jason Hart averaged 18pts a game at
Syracuse.

 

Actually Hart scored 12 a game in college. Collier also had 3 teammates who scored 10 or more points per game. See for yourself.

I used to be from 'cuse, and I'm telling you if Hart wasn't there Thomas would not have been as big a factor. Hart put the ball in his hands right where he wanted it. Thomas is nothing special. He's no Coleman. He's no John Wallace. He's less. And he wasn't a leader in the tournaments either.


------------------
humble, but hungry.

 

Gee, I'm convinced. Why didn't the Rockets consult this guy on draft day?

Never mind the fact Thomas scores mainly off of putbacks, and is a defensive minded player, while Collier shoots from the outside and posts up, and is an offensive minded player. They're 2 totally different players.

Follow the rules or be assimilated.
Shandon is underrated.
