    Why just stop at developing 1 player when you could develop 2 or 3.

    That way you got multiple assets.
    Not 1, not 2...

    It's his posture that makes him seem clumsy.. I think if he corrected his barefoot height would match his wingspan.

    i mean he is 21. he has all the time in the world to improve.

    but he won't improve by playing G-league games. we need to give him consistent minutes. he is a rebound magnet.

    I was at a Toros v. Viper game back in March and after a big Hartenstein dunk someone on the bench said, "That's White Thunder, right there."

    I hate MDA for not playing him when Clint is healthy. I can't wait for that ******* to be done after the year.

    I would have liked to see what Hartenstein can do against a legit Center. If Capela is out for the Memphis game we will see. I think he did great but Minnesota with KAT doesn't show anything.

    To quote the well-spoken color commentator, Clyde Drexler: I like it!

    Possibly my greatest basketball opinion of all time was that we should keep Chriss and dump Hartenstein.

    I'm also available to manage your 401K.

    It’s good to hear the support of the team; goes a long way on and off the court. Coach almost has to play him now. Well I hope he will continue play Hartenstien even when everyone is healthy.

    Harty only 21, drafted when he was 19. He needed to increase strength, confidence and defense. Last season with G League was instrumental in his progress.

    Hartenstein worked his tail off for this opportunity, love these kind of stories. Glad he is a Rocket, we will need him while Capela gimpy

    He progressing .. . not unlike Capela
    Capela gained strength and confidence to get where he is now
    HE worked behind Howard

    Yep, just not understanding the vehemence of CF insisting that Harty was ready to contribute from day one or that MDA somehow hindered his development/Rockets chances to win championship because Harty did not play more minutes in season's past.

    Exactly, last season his consistent mins and contribution helped build his game and earn ring for Vipers.

    Harty is ready this season. Should he have played more mins in more games for Rockets, sure, but Rockets are only 1 win from 2nd place in West.

    I know Rockets fans are frustrated with Harden and MDA but multiply how much you want to win by 100 for how much they want to win. We can turn off tv and b****, do something else. Harden and MDA live with it 24/7.

    Harden and MDA trust vets because that formula has worked in past. I'm sure that there were also off court politics with Tyson to convince him that this was for good of team.

    Chemistry is delicate, but important part of success.
