another thing i like is seeing stromile swift score 15 in his first game and seeing the potential of luther head, who i am now expecting to make the roster because of suras surgery.
the addition of stromile swift will definitely take load off of yao's shoulders...seeing as how he was really the only post-up threat the rockets had last yr bc juwon howard was more of an outside spot up jump shooter.however, i do think that yao will definitely show some improvement.
if stromile is the starter, and he should be, then yao should have more room to operate because players will have to honor stromile's athleticism around the basket.

The Rockets’ pursuit of Swift as the apple of their eye began early July, as soon as negotiations between teams and free agents could start.

 Stromile? - ProSportsDaily Forums
Swift is a great athlete, younger, and blocks shots very well.
I agree with all of you who said that shareef is a better pickup for the nets than swift is. The reason why I say this is because shareef is the stronger player and the player that jason kid could pass the ball to so that he can finish it with stregth.
Shareef could most likely do anything that swift can the difference is swift is more quicker and athletic than shareef is and perhaps plays better defense but the nets need a power forward who has the capablilty to average about 20 ppg.

 Stromile Swift and Rasheed Wallace... - KFBA: The Message Board   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
If Sheed and Swift lose their C eligibility, the balance is shifted (admittedly only a little bit) in favor of the teams with Duncan, Shaq, Yao, etc. For what it's worth, I think that if you're going to require 16 teams to field 2 active centers, you should be liberal in allocating C eligibility.
One consequece of being a C is that Wallace, for example, has to be the C1, or a trivial part of the lineup.
as far as Swift, my opinion is that anyone that's 6'9'' and on the same team as Yao and Dikembe cannot possibly be considered a C. that being said, I could care less if his eligibility gets changed as I may be the one who benefits from his C status.
