Rockets Aren't Getting the Same Ol' Francis

Charley Rosen of the FOX SPORTS writes, "Way back in his first go-round in Houston (1999-2004), Stevie Francis had as much sheer talent as any other point guard in the league. He could push, penetrate and dish. He was quick up and down the court, especially with the ball in his hands. He used h is cross-over dribble (going either way) to establish a rhythm for his jump shot. He was a dangerous 3-point shooter. He always played with great energy and emotion. He was a big jumper and a surprising rebounder for a guard. He had lightning hands on defense and played the passing lanes to perfection. He could even post-up smaller guards - scoring mostly with a right-handed jump hook over his left shoulder."
