1999 The second pick in the first round was selected by the Grizzlies who were still in Vancouver. But the stubborn boss refused to play in the cold Vancouver, forcing the Grizzlies to make a deal, and Francis joined the Rockets as he wished.
As the successor after Olajuwon era, Francis played for the Rockets for five seasons. Unfortunately, his gorgeous performance never brought the Rockets back to the playoffs. During his partnership with Mobry, he became the only backcourt group in the league that averaged 20+ per game. It was not until the arrival of Yao Ming in 2002 that the Rockets returned to the playoffs a season later. Unfortunately, after that season, the Rockets sent Francis to Magic as a bargaining chip for McGrady.
In magic, Francis met another top scholar-Dwight Howard. Similarly, Francis was sent to the Knicks after two seasons in the No.1 draft. During his two years of playing for the Knicks, the boss Frodo, who started to switch to scoring, fell to the lowest point and was plagued by long-term injuries. Finally, on the day of the draft, Francis was sent to the Trailblazers as a bargaining chip to buy out the contract.
Francis' career data reached 19.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists, and his shooting percentage was 43. 1%. Although the data is not outstanding, his ability is absolutely balanced. At the peak of his career, he scored 20+5+5. Now only Garnett the Wolf King and James the Little Emperor can get this data. Unfortunately, there is only one brain difference between all-stars and superstars.
As a point guard, the most criticized thing about Mr. Fu is that he doesn't have a point guard's brain and a commander's nerves, and his passing vision is not wide and he is prone to cerebral congestion. If he scores instead, his shortcomings of not shooting at fixed points will be exposed more. However, today's rockets need Francis's fatal breakthrough and incredible layups and dunks. As for shooting, let McGrady finish it.
Although the data is all-powerful, Francis can't pass the ball comfortably to the teammates in need, and he can't clearly carry out the coach's intention. Poor combination ability is also the king of mistakes in NBA. But then again, at least his ability is there, which is still a headache for any point guard. At that time, jayson williams made more mistakes and could survive in Adelman's Princeton. Why can't Francis?
