    Did you just call Hartenstein a "WHite DUDE"?

    http://theundefeated.com/features/isaiah-hartenstein-nba-draft-2017/

    "There's more to Isaiah Hartenstein than meets the eye, NBA draft prospect appears to be white, but he’s also black"

    "Isaiah Hartenstein has confronted people who have said racist things about blacks who didn’t know he was black"

    Every time I see a picture of Bruno Caboclo it surprises me, he seriously looks like he's a member of a different evolutionary chain. 2 years away from being 2 years away.

    If the dude had any f**king clue how to actually play basketball he would be a terror.

    The Rockets were not about to call Carmelo Anthony a backup on his first day. Anthony, while sounding entirely sincere about his determination to do whatever is asked of him, said the topic had not really even come up, yet.

    "It's something we'll work out," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I don't know yet."

    Yet, when reading between the lines, there did seem to be more clues that the likelihood, and perhaps the plan, is to bring the 10-time All-Star off the bench as P.J. Tucker's power forward backup.

    Though many will treat any move toward declaring Anthony a reserve as a revelation, that has long seemed the most likely way to have him fit.

    [...]

    There is nothing new for a championship-caliber team to have to change its roster and rotation. The Rockets did not win a championship, but they were on that level. And they have gone through extensive changes.

    On Tuesday, they begin trying to make those changes work.

    Of the 18 players that will get off the bus at McNeese State, 10 were not on the Rockets last season. They have six rotation players back, having lost Luc Mbah a Moute and Trevor Ariza in free agency and dealt Ryan Anderson last month. That is more than enough, especially considering Anderson had lost his place in the rotation last season.

    At the start of camp, however, getting so many players new to the Rockets' style and system up to speed will be among the first challenges. They do not want to have to slow things down for the new guys, but there are adjustments to be made.

    For many of the newcomers, the preseason is a chance to earn a place in the rotation. James Ennis III is the most likely starter at small forward, but the Rockets want to get a good look at Michael Carter-Williams at several positions. Marquese Chriss will likely compete with Isaiah Hartenstein and eventually Zhou Qi for the backup center position along with Nene. The Rockets will likely want someone to be ready to fill in as a third point guard, with Carter-Williams most likely while Brandon Knight is out because of an infection after his knee surgery.

    At Rockets Media Day....did they not take any GROUP photos? I have seen other teams take group photos.

    No group photo of Harden, Paul and Carmelo?
