Rockets PG: Steve Francis vs. Mike James -

These two veteran QBs were brought in during the offseason in hopes of providing new coach Rick Adelman with an upgrade over Rafer Alston. Can Stevie Franchise regain his All-Star form now that he's back in Houston? Or will the job go to James, the former Piston with the championship ring?
