Rockets add Duke's Trevon Duval to summer league roster

Not sure why all RJ hate for a free look when Nanu was actually drafted by Rockets and producing so much less.

RJ is not a point so not being used properly. He should be a catch and shoot wing instead of trying to always create for himself and team. Not enough explosiveness to do this regularly.

 

I hate when people do this.

You do realize that Poythress and CJ Wilcox are pretty much the same age as House. All 3 and many others that played last night are in their mid 20s.

The youngest kids on the court were Duval and Holiday both of whom impressed over these supposed wanna-bes that are too old to be there.

 

I blame it on Robert Duvall, like how Beverly Hills, CA is to blame for Patrick Beverly.

And Capela and the Rockets have a little blame for Capela misspellings by matching his name to Acappella singing.

 

Boy are you looking silly right now.

 

I might be wrong.

But in my post, all I said was "it's possible." Are you saying it's impossible that House has benefited from his years in pro ball (and years in life)?

Of course I haven't gone through the rosters and taken note of the age and experience of every player relative to the average summer league player so my premise from my post could be off-base. Maybe House's experience is actually less than other summer leaguers' (on average). Maybe it's equal. I don't know. I made my post with the assumption that many teams send very young prospects to summer league to see if they have anything to work with, rather than sending guys who have been playing pro ball for a few years and as such have a larger body of work to evaluate already.

And this is why I presented it as just a possibility, and not a declarative statement of facts coming to an irrefutable conclusion.

Regardless, it's just one game. Not enough to dismiss or affirm his NBA ability. So... whatevs.

 

He smoove.....

 

Because of a summer league game? Did he get drafted? Donte Greene scored 58 in a summer league game heard from him lately.

I’ll be very happy if I’m proven wrong, but he was bad last year

 

Donte Greene was 22 with no other skills but to shoot. Duval is a true PG with driving ability, a super quick first step, passing and handling abilities. His only true con is that he can’t shoot but that can be worked on.

 

There was a guy,

and his name is Nick Johnson.......

 

Hello backup PG

DD

 

Gotta admit he had some nasty dunks in SL

 

Never in Nick Johnson's career was he like Trevon Duval. Next!

 

I literally forgot Nick Johnson existed. Hats off.

 

I'm targeting RJ Hunter because he has a two way contract. Means we could replace Hunter on his two way with Duval on a two way at no cost.

 

Duval reminds me of...




Jeremy Lin

 

Stop.

 

All I keep hearing people say is "he can't shoot, he can't shoot!!!" Yet the kid keeps scoring and winning. At what point do people start paying attention?

 

Looked good in the first game, let's see how the rest of his games fair. If he duplicate's, then he could make the team.

 

Trevon Duval is not even close to Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin is turnover prone and when Jeremy gets in trouble driving to the basket stops midrange jumps to pass = turnover happens. Jeremy Lin as Basketball player has a really Low IQ.
Harvard Education doesn't matter in Basketball. Trevon Duval skills as a dribbler is like a young Kyle Lowry. Lowry couldn't shoot with the Rockets, but improved on his 3 point shot, midrange. Trevon grew up at New York so his Handles are tight, His Crossovers are Scary.
