I liked him as a rookie. His heart, even though his stats didn't show much.

Brooks is NBA's most improved player
Associated Press
HOUSTON -- Houston Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks has been named the league's most improved player.
The 6-foot Brooks set career highs in points (19.6 per game), assists (5.3) and rebounds (2.6). His scoring average went up 8.4 points from 2008-09, the highest increase of any qualifying player.
The Rockets finished 42-40, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Brooks started all 82 games while the roster went through several changes during the season, caused by injuries or trades.
Brooks, the Rockets' first-round draft pick in 2007, set a franchise record for 3-pointers made (209) and became the sixth player in NBA history to record at least 200 3-pointers and 400 assists.
Brooks earned 403 of a possible 615 points, including 62 first-place votes, from a panel of 123 sports writers and broadcasters. Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City and George Hill of San Antonio tied for second with 101 total points.

He's not better than Marc Gasol, Kaman, Bogut, or Brook Lopez. And at best he's a coin-flip with Horford IMO but I can at least see the argument for that one.

Just like to say that Noah's stats are ruined by a stretch of about 12 games where he was limited to like 15 minutes or was completely injured with no business out on the court. But he still shows very well against Horford in a per minute basis. Noah's one of the best rebounders in the league and Horford is not(8th, 38th). Noah/Horford is a good debate.Originally Posted by goldenarmz97
I'm not going to debate Noah being better than Kaman or Bogut because that is just asinine, he's not better than Horford either but I'll do a quick breakdown of the two for since some people feel it's a toss-up.

The numbers are close, the only significant difference between the two would be in the scoring department. Horford's offensive game is vastly more refined & his numbers would be jump playing for a team like the Bulls, who are on the lower echelon of scoring & fg%. Noah is a good guy to have on your team, but isn't gong to develop much more than the scrappy hustle guy he is today. I'm sure any G.M. other than Paxon (who loves offensively lacking big men for some reason) would take Horford over Noah in a heartbeat.

And I don't know why anyone went off on the Noah vs. Bogut tangent. Bogut pretty much cemented himself as number 3 before that injury.
With Kaman(and Lopez): you would think a center with good guards around him would have a positive effect on his team's record. He's a fantasy basketball owner's dream, but it doesn't translate to actual wins.

Al Hordford is the best post defender in the NBA, he is so much better than Noah it's not even funny. This Synergy sports thing is awesome. BTW This is not a stat, there are no fancy formulas it's this is just a log of plays who get's stops and who doesn't.
Best post up defenders in the NBA. (Only Centers)
PPP = Points Per Possession Allowed
FG% = Field Goal % Allowed
%SF = Shooting Foul %
%TO = % of turnovers created

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Andrea Bargnani despite being called the worst defending C in the NBA(), if people actually watched him they would know, in pick and rolls, isolation plays, post ups Bargnani is the best post defender on the Raptors, he just sucks at rotating. [/font]
