    Willkommen bei den Rockets Tim!

    Finally I get a German on my team... Great to be able to root for someone coming from my country.

    I don't think Americans can pronounce our "ch" since their is no exact sound like that in English as far as I know. Closest to it would be a "sh" like in "sheep".

    I think he has a much better all around game than Smith, on both offense and defense ends. Smith is better on P&R though.

    Small height advantage, and also wingspan advantage over Smith. Maybe better outside shooting. From couple of games I have seen him play, I would guess he doesn't have Smiths catchers mitts (who does?) or Smith's crazy ability to make great cuts to the basket though.
