So will Andersen start? Or at the very least get significant minutes? Is Scola the only Rocket within 4 inches of him? Is that enough questions?

I'm pretty sure he said he didn't want to leave Europe unless he was going to get pretty decent minutes, so he'd be unhappy if he didnt. He said he expects to take a back seat when Yao returns, I think he's just trying to see how he measures up for a year. Scola should start most times but Andersen will get a few minutes. I am pretty sure he will be the tallest.. Scola is a legit 6-9 but other guys like Landry/Cook/Dorsey are listed at 6-9 but seem to be a bit smaller.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets have signed center David Andersen to a multiyear contract to help make up for the loss of Yao Ming.
The Rockets acquired the rights to the 6-foot-11 Andersen in a trade with Atlanta on July 14. Houston scrambled to find a center after announcing in June that Yao was out indefinitely with a hairline fracture in his left foot.
Yao announced last month that he would have surgery to repair the injury, a decision that will likely keep him out all of next season. The seven-time All-Star underwent the procedure the following week.
Andersen was a second-round draft choice of the Hawks in 2002. He has spent his career in his native Australia and in Europe, most recently in the Spanish League with FC Barcelona, where he averaged 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds last season.

About 2 and a half mil for 2 years and a 3rd year team option, so we might see him around for a bit! I think he was making more money in Europe but I don't blame him for trying to give the NBA a go.
