"I'm not as mobile as I want to be. It has taken away a little of my athleticism. Sometimes I run down the court, I can only look over my left shoulder. Even when I'm defending guys, if they attack me to my right shoulder, it's hard to turn my head." Lewis Chuck, you know what to do man
He's so short. That will be Brooks achilles heel. Nate Robinson is more athletic and just as quick and has yet to become the starting PG for the Knicks. I hope he can shoot lights out and beat out SF, Rafer and MJ for the starting job but I'm not holding my breath.
i hope brooks can play well when he is in tonight and prove that he deserves more playing time. Mike james is getting old just watchin him go in there and miss almost every easy shot he takes.
do you expect he will blossom immediately? in the first game? if not, what is your patience? How many games will you give him to show the case? 4, 5, 6, or 10? i am not here saying we shouldn't give him chance. what i am going to figure out what happens if he doesn't do good in the tonite game. i don't want to see a short experiment. if we use him, then give him enough time instead of a couple games in the way the fans here treated sf. sf has played merely two games as a starter. now all fans jumped on the conclusion that sf is a scrub. in these two games, all sf did was to dump the ball to tmac or yao like rafer did except lacking of chemistry btw him and tmac/yao. he was a completely different person on the court. i was disappointed. i expected he would play his strength instead shelling him from the spotlight. as veteran as he is, he should be a leader on this team.
Uhh JVG plugged Novak in a game..although he called it the worst mistake he ever made. He also played Vspan several games too.
The Rockets LOVE undersized players. We love having them at every position except Yao and TMac. If only Brooks were not athletic, then he'd be a perfect fit!
lets not go overboard. other than scola, what rookie has played much? exactly. I thought this myth about rookies was already busted.
I'm really excited about this.. he has the potential to make a huge difference in the way the whole team plays. People can often feed off the energy, tempo, and pace of the PG..
