small forwards are definitely usually taller than shooting guards. similarly, shooting guards usually handle the ball more than small forwards. but its not a case of the coach saying, “oh, trevor, you're at the 3. ok, don't dribble it as much.”

I agree, except – Isn't the practical distinction that the SF is nearly always the taller of the two wings? This make sense, because you usually don't want a big height difference when assigning guarding duties.

The other duties should be assigned acoording to skill, as you write.

Tall wings usually guard tall wings.

I would much rather them do PGs, Wings, and Bigs. Or, even simpler, Perimeter players and Interior players. In a lot of systems, PGs and SGs aren't that much different anyway.

I've majorly like what I've seen from him since the trade though. Seeing him shows he is a good role player which is all he should ever bee.

4 games played – JOEY DORSEY – although potential and well liked no real value
clutch 4th quarter -CARL LANDRY-yes it was sad to see him go, but give some get ALOT
40 min played all year, washed up-TRACY MCGRADY-NO VALUE!!!!

in return
KEVIN MARTIN- maked our backcourt just about best in league
JARED JEFFRIES-solid backup defender
Hilton Armstrong-extraaaa
JORDAN HILL – difference maker
(question, why would dantoni draft hill if he said pf/c was too full for him to get a chance. WTF?!?!)

we essentially traded 1 player for 2, maybe 3 difference makers
this combo, combined with yao ming and some more XP, the rockets can be a very solid team next year

btw, can u guys please stop knocking aaron brooks, he is the only reason why we are relevant this year, and i bet my brooks jersey he will get most improved player of the year

Anyway, my first post, thought I'd take the chance to let you know that you're doing an awesome job with this blog. I've been a Rockets fan since the early 90's, but there's a massive lack of info here in Australia. I've only just managed to get interested in the league again, and this blog is my main source of post game info. Cheers for the effort, keep it up
