Is he what the doctor ordered for this team? This talented player never got a chance to really show his stuff in Phoenix, but he's a banger and could be used as an enforcer for the team. Rockets sign hometown standout Associated Press HOUSTON - Former University of Houston standout Alton Ford signed a contract with the Rockets Sunday. Ford, a former high school star at Houston Milby, played one season with the Cougars before he was the 51st selection of the Phoenix Suns in the 2001 draft. He averaged 1.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and nearly 8 minutes the past two seasons with the Suns. Ford averaged 10.8 points and 5.9 rebounds in one season with the Cougars.
that banger/enforcer we need is not a guy who was sweating it out in the D-league; his name is Kelvin Cato and he starts at Forward.
