Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, and Brad Newly - NEW OFFICIAL ROCKETS - Page 2 - Message Board Basketball Forum

lol at Carl Landy on the last dunk.

Aaron Brooks is a pretty good draft pick. I suspect Rick Adelman made this choice. Rick Adelman spent most of his vacation time last season in Oregon so he probably made this choice.

Carl is a solid pick. I saw him in person at the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney. He's a powerful guy that can put up points if needed.

Not too happy, but whatever. Aaron Brooks is alright, still not happy though. (WAS) Aiming towards Byars or Tucker.

rockets basically drafted aaron brooks because v-span is as good as gone back to greece now. john lucas could be gone from the team also by the beginning of november or before october in a buyout or trade. rockets should sign that power forward they drafted a year ago lior, because he is showing signs of goodness in this years summer league.

Aaron Brooks is good. You guys are lucky. Obviously I'm a Blazer fan but was also an Oregon fan. He's very talented and a good shooter. His speed is unmatched. He should be a great backup guard.

blazerfan22 · 07-13-2007, 10:19 PM

I'm an Oregon fan, probably because I've lived here my whole life, but you Rocket fans are lucky to get Aaron Brooks. He's looking very good in the Summer League!

I've been telling people here in Oregon that he'll be just as good in the NBA as he was in college and they didn't believe me because of his size, but he's fast and talented. It is still too early to tell but so far so good, huh?

Piece out.

I live in Ohio, but I'm a Ducks fan also, and I just loved watching Brooks play, or listening to the announcer call the BBall games.

He's a big time player, and a leader, he could be used somewhat like Daniel Gibson for the Cavs.

He also keeps his cool, and doesn't seem 2 get startled, I bet he'll come in and contribute very well in his 1st game without the rookie jitters.

I am now a Rockets fan due 2 this draft pick, and now you guys got rid of 1 PG, so you aren't as crowded at the PG spot, and you'll most likely get rid of Lucas or maybe Alston.

If Scola comes to play, then you shouldn't complain much about the draft pick, cuz Brooks is gonna be a very good draft pick.

think Tony Parker and Gary Payton, the NBA is getting 2 stuck on size and potential, Go with skill and experience. It's like the NFL rating the 40 yard dash so high.

If someone can play they can play. Heck Durant could barely pushing a Wal Mart shopping cart, but everyone is riding him like he' is the Rookie of the Year.

i like the blazers now also, as they are young and VERY talented, and they will be the new spurs in about 4-5 years when all that talent is seasoned as veterans.

you are lucky to be a fan, and i hope you arent a bandwagoner, but it looks like you are a true fan, BLAZERFAN

blazerfan22 · 07-14-2007, 10:42 PM

Thanks HTOWN AL 420, for the kind remarks.

I am a true Blazer fan. Been one since the Drexler days when he started in Portland. I'm sure you Rocket fans enjoyed his presence when he was there with Akeem for the championship. I've also been a Rocket fan ever since he went there back in the mid 90's. These days I enjoy watching Yao, T-Mac, and now Brooks.

As for the Blazers go, it is exciting seeing the team grow now. I think we're getting some talented guys in there that can boost us into the playoffs soon. So yeah, it's fun to watch a team rebuild and get better. Plus, it's nice to see that the management is getting rid of all the "Jailblazers" and replacing them with some really class-act guys that can play. The fans here in Oregon are really starting to enjoy the change.

blazerfan22 · 07-14-2007, 11:09 PM

By the way Aaron Brooks' team mate for Oregon last season named Tajuan Porter is absolutely SICK at threes. I think he made an Oregon record last year for threes, but can't remember. Anyway, him and Aaron were both outstanding to watch last year.

Just read a in the paper about Newly. He's not playing for Houston this year but he said Adelman was impressed with his play and invited him back to the Summer League for next year. He's signed to play in Australia for Adelaide next year but he's still deciding whether to play in Australia or Europe.
