    This doesn’t seem to make much sense send him down when we are still thin w/o Ego, Nene, and Chandler our ? Is there a financial reason for doing this that I’m not aware of ?

    He’s a big who can shoot. I really don’t understand it. He must have slept with MDA’s wife or something.

    I figure that's the answer for a guy (Harty) caught in Rockets limbo...

    Does Clemons only get so many games to be on the main roster because of his two way contract? If so, why waste the games when everyone knows coach isn’t playing him anyway. It’s of no benefit to the team or player. Let him play in G league till there’s a need.

    If the goal is to retain the player, showing him off in the g league is not a good idea.

    Hart does well defensively and rebounding in spurts, I just need him to score on alley ops and dunks. I need him to have the confidence and skill set to score, I usually see him pass up shots when given the ball in the paint. Learn some post moves or foot work in the paint for high percentage points against good NBA level defenders.

    Or with a coach and GM who can't develop young talent.

    The Rockets move guys back and forth to get them game action.

    This is still apparently surprising to people.

    it's because they are baseball fans, and don't really know the NBA that well.

    It was the same mystery regarding Brewer... but it turns out he had great hustle.... Why not resign Brewer? I'm guessing Harden has something against him.

    I saw him consistently pass the ball when players were giving him opportunities to score in the paint during NBA games.

    I've seen him do it against undersized, less athletic bigs in the G league, but he is nowhere near aggressive around the rim when given the ball in NBA games.

    He's a good rebounder and defender and I like his work ethic, but he holds himself back offensively, and absolutely can develop footwork or post moves to score in practice or elsewhere to be aggressive on both ends during a game.

    He needs to develop more offensive skills since he is an average or slightly above average athlete. I think he should study post move film on Jokic and focus on skill building for great positional defense and offense.
