Request: full roster of 07-08 Rockets

[Real2KInsider]

I will be posting all the Classic player ratings on my blog once they are available.

Based on the reveal, it looks like Rafer Alston, Bobby Jackson, and Luther Head are not on the roster. The only players not shown I would bank on are Chuck Hayes and Steve Novak.


2007-08 Houston Rockets
STARTERS
89/C: Yao Ming (22.5 PER, 37 MPG)
76/PF: Luis Scola (16.1 PER, 25 MPG)
X/SF: Shane Battier (11.7 PER, 36 MPG)
89/SG: Tracy McGrady (18.4 PER, 37 MPG)
X/PG: Rafer Alston (13.7 PER, 34 MPG)
SECOND UNIT
X/PF: Chuck Hayes (11.2 PER, 20 MPG) - Currently in NBA
X/PG: Bobby Jackson (14.6 PER, 19 MPG)
X/SG: Luther Head (13.6 PER, 19 MPG)
75/PF: Carl Landry (21.4 PER, 17 MPG)
74/C: Dikembe Mutombo (14.5 PER, 16 MPG)
THIRD UNIT
73/SG: Steve Francis (9.1 PER, 20 MPG) - INJURED
74/PG: Aaron Brooks (13.1 PER, 12 MPG)
X/PF: Steve Novak (17.3 PER, 8 MPG) - Currently in NBA

Francis' presence on the roster is an odd one given that he was lost for the season (and subsequently, his career) on 12/15/07 after 10 games played (199 minutes). He was a shell of his former self (nothing like the younger version that teamed w/ Yao and Mobley) and had nothing to do with the success of the team.

In all likelihood 2K could not come to terms w/ Alston or Jackson and Francis could use a paycheck. If Francis is merely rated higher than Alston/Jackson and both those guys are in the game, that would be more inexcusable.

If Bobby Jackson is indeed in the game it's pretty laughable that he rates lower than Brooks and Francis. He was the primary backup and started playoff games w/ Rafer sidelined.

Never saw this game, but the Jazz grabbed every offensive rebound and ran out the clock with just a two point advantage to win the series. It must have been painful for the Rockets to go out like that considering they never had a shot to tie or take the lead. The Jazz played smart, milked the clock, and made their free throws. I don't think they would have won that series if they replayed the last 2 minutes 4/5 times. Just too many lucky bounces and offensive rebounds that secured them the win.

So no Rafer, Head or Mike Harris. Got it! Thanks but no thanks, I will pass on this game. Might as well gone with 08-09 with Lowry & Artest if they could not come to terms with Rafer, Head & Harris (all play-off rotation guys!!).

Aye my boy Stevie Francis in the game!
2K need to drop an onyx version of the Franchise!

Anybody know his rating?

C'mon, man. It's as good as it gets for a complete team. Almost no retro teams have this many of their actual players.

SugeKnight: he's rated 73. Too high considering he was toast. Bobby Jackson is 72. But then they rated a 39 year old Kareem higher than the 1994 Olajuwon

I was going to say the same thing. I want that Onyx card. I cannot see his only card in the game being a 73. That would be a travesty
