Um... He is about 7'5" 300... when Shaq first came he was 7'2" 315
Plus Shaq had no kind of shot, couldn't shoot free-throws, and couldn't run.... but he sure could break a backboard
I'm sure Ming will develop into one of the best centers of all time.
and uh... I'm a Houston fan, and I still believe they have a long way to go before they crack the top 4 in the playoffs.
Here's my player by player anylist on this team (assuming they get Ming)
*Yao Ming-C- This season he must prove that he has defence, ball controll, and a more deadly outside shot thanWebber/Divac
*Maurece Taylor-PF- If he recovers from his injury good, he should be able to put up 10-16 points per game easy
Eddie Griffin-PF/SF- If he keeps working on the 3 point shot like he did this last season, he can be a huge wild card for this team. Like Horry of the Lakers, he would be extremly dangurous to be left open on the inside, and mildly dangerous on the outside. His defence is abouve average for a PF.
**
Steve Francis- Hopfully he doesn't have a bad year with Migranes... and hopfully he can just stay generally healthy. He is probably the biggest offencive point gaurd threat in the leauge.
Cutino Mobley- I don't know what to say... except, let's hope Francis stays healthy because he averages 22ppg with francis, and 16 w/o francis.
**
Glen Rice- The most incosistant player I have ever seen play, hopfully he has an "on" year
Moochie Norris- Next to Van Exel (from the Mavricks) he is the best back up point guard in the leauge
(*= didn't play last season, **= played last season but had injuries)
oh... and enough with my fanboyish jibberish
My Predictions:
East:
Unpredictable
West:
Kings
Spurs
Lakers
Rockets
Threaded Mode
