Ron Artest (2008-'09)
Career Highlights:
-2004 Defensive Player of the Year, 4x All-Defense, 1x All-Star
2008-'09 (The Rockets year where he lead them to a 7-game series against the eventual champion Lakers after T-Mac and Yao went down)
-17.1 PPG (40% from 3 on 5.6 attempts), 5.2 RPG, 3.3 APG, 1.5 SPG
-All-Defensive Team
One of the greatest perimeter defenders ever. Good three-point shooter (~40% for '08-'09) and productive scorer for years. A huge "what if" case as he could've been in the MVP conversation with how well he was playing in 2004-'05 before Malice at the Palace (I would choose this year if I felt I could get away with it). On that note, he's an elite enforcer, hustles hard, and is 260 pounds! A beast on the wing. Can play 2-4 if needed. Loved by teammates
He will be an early sub and mostly play with the starters (but play more with the bench as needed).
