    And I feel we will see the same with Paul and Harden. MDA used JJ a lot as the bigger point guard/forward and Nash at the same time on the floor so maybe that is his vision here.

    The question is.... Is Capela good enough to fulfill the role of a prime 'Stoudamire'?

    Also don't forget Jason Kidd and Kevin Johnson back in the day with the Suns.

    I can see it even though Joe Johnson was more of a scorer than a play maker.

    This is going to be a better team than the Phoenix Suns. They might have some similarities, but the Rockets will be a superior version of that Phoenix team.

    Griffin is.

    Capella Nene Griffin Melo Harden Paul
    Gordon Ariza Nick Young

    That's ridiculous. That's Nash's Suns on steroids.

    He was very ball dominante but he played well with Nash.

    He ultimately left Phoenix for Atlanta to take the reigns of all ball handling duties.

    He was actually a good passer . But yeah he was a great ISO ball scorer. I believe we will see a more scoring oriented Harden with Paul.
