Unless it's pretty sure that Okafor has the potential to be a 23/11 type of player, it should be Elton Brand, otherwise why taking the risks?
One more thing, even Yao just shoots 41% from the outside, he is still a better option for a jump shot than Francis' 40% shooting, 7'6" or not.
One facet of Yao's game the Rockets haven't developed and utilized is Yao's driving abilities. In the Lakers game Yao had the ball in high post,...
