    Bender more playable than either Harty OR Tyson. That is fact.

    Yes, but can he become a difference maker so late in the season? He has been a big disappointment in his short career.

    Perhaps not this season but there is no denying that he is the better FIT and has more talent and upside in 5 Out/Switch Everything system.

    Hartenstein has zero upside and fit.

    And Tyson is essentially just a coach on this team now.

    Both spots are wasted on players that will not help Rockets right now or in the future.

    Bender's skill set is useful. He is better than Bruno, but both are soft. Bender can block/ alter shots with regularity. Physical players give him a tough time. Will GSW retain him? My guess is he will get another 10 day from them.

    Agreed, he would not be available if he did not have flaws. And Bender is available right now as GSW did not give him another 10 day because they are looking to see what shakes lose from other teams.

    If he is truly fit, then give him a 10 day contract. A thorough medical and physical examination is needed before signing him up. It would be amazing If he can give 70-75% of his past defense and a jumper or two in a game. I have my doubts about this though.

    I believe he's gonna be a better fit in our system, if he has been 80%-90%.
    it seems months ago he had began workout for teams, don't know for sure what happened during a 3-month span.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him workout with the Rockets. If I'm not mistaken, there was a photo of him in Houston on the BBS a few months ago.

    yes....I know, I saw that. but think maybe it's right time.
    I ran the risk of being bashed by D Rock to challenge his Bolden & Anderson combo, lol
