Is Corey Brewer the Leandro Barbosa of this year’s Rockets?

When Mike D'Antoni was announced as the next head coach of the Houston Rockets, daydreams and fairy tales of reviving the Seven Seconds or Less offense filled the heads of everyone from management to players to fans.

The easiest parallel a person could make between the old Phoenix Suns offense and the Rockets was the way James Harden would become Steve Nash 2.0.

Another parallel between the two teams are speedsters off the bench: Corey Brewer and Leandro Barbosa. The role won't be as critical as Harden playing Nash, but if Brewer can become the second coming of Barbosa it will go a long way in making the Rockets a serious contender.
