    Yeah...I only became a Rockets fan when the Barkley trade went down, so I don't have much love for the guys like Olajuwon & Cassell. However, Brent Price and Antoinne Carr were great! ;)

    I was going to put Murphy at the 2 since that was his position but the Rockets have not had many good PGs at all. No "pure point" ever that I can remember.

    Sam and steve could penitrate but both were better at scoring, although Sam have high Assist/OT ratio.

    Kenny didn't create shots for others. Allen Level...

    Here are some Assist/OT numbers for Rocket PGs:

    Allen Leavell : 4.77/1.89
    John Lucas : 7.26/2.66
    Sleepy Floyd : 5.38/2.16
    Sam Cassell : 4.19/2.00
    Steve Francis : 6.38/3.71
    Matt Maloney : 3.10/1.39
    Moochie Norris: 3.35/1.33
    Kenny Smith : 5.25/2.09


    John Lucas is the clear winner (statistically) with Kenny the next best IMO.

    My all-time favorite Rocket is Lou Llyod. I just love that drug addict. He was on the team when I truly became a die hard rocket fan and I always loved him.

    Below him is Maxwell and Hakeem.

    Finally, Thorpe and Scotty Brooks round out my list.

    Why is it that the all-time list doesn't include three hall-of-famers?

    Moses Malone. Elvin Hayes, and of course Calvin Murphy are top 50 also, I think. Murphy wasn;t all that much fun to listen to, but he was a lot of fun to watch. He could really stroke it and that was before 3-pointers.
