Broekhoff is better shooter, better rebounder and better switch defender on guards. Nunnally struggles with switches on guards. Killer B's!! Like Dragan Bender better than Nunnally too. Still like Anthony Randolph if looking for overseas option.
Nah. The Rockets still need another good defensive wing. Obviously one that can can shoot the 3 is far more valued....... but I will take a wing that can defend over no wing at all. If the Rockets cannot get someone that can shoot the 3, they still need a defensive wing. Also in the Rockets system wings get wide open looks, which can have an impact on 3 point percentage.... also where the 3 is being shot on the floor.
AP - The Rockets have signed Patrick Fertitta to a ten day contract to fill one of their open roster spots. Reporters spoke to Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni shortly after shoot around to discuss the move. The coach was heard to say "What the ****. First the owner puts a boot on my car for unpaid parking fees. Did you know employees have to pay to park to go to work and that son of a b**** owns the parking lot? Now I have to play his son 15 minutes a night as a wing? I cannot wait for April. Did he tow my car? God help me if he towed my car. I will kick his greek ass mafia or no mafia. I am Italian, okay?" Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told a sea of reporters that he is looking forward to seeing Patrick play and reminded everyone present that Tillman Fertitta is a wealthy and generous man that would gladly pay the luxury tax.
I could not agree more and that is why willing to take chance with MKG. But Crowder is not a good defensive wing. His D is overrated in addition to being poor 3ball shooter. Hollis'-Jefferson is a very good defensive wing but his shot is completely broken. But if going to roll dice with one of two, I'd take HJ. For now, I'd sign either Broekhoff or Bender.
I know you’re kidding but I really don’t think Nunnally can’t a fair shake. Dekker, Kyle Wiltjer, Nunnally are in the Euro/ Russian League which don’t end until April. The only players the Rockets could sign is CBA players
Man, I hope Morey can find somebody to try and help us. They should have guys in during the all star break to work out and see how they look. I agree that another wing defender would be good. I still don't like House Jr starting and I don't want Gordon starting either, he needs to come off the bench. I still think we need a taller PF than PJ that can help rebound with the 2nd unit and shoot a little bit. That sounded like Bolden but I guess not. Maybe Morey knows something about a guy that could be bought out in the coming weeks... Guess we gotta wait and see over the next 2 weeks.
"But if you want Mr Fertitta to pay the luxury tax, I suggest you eat at Landry's. If you do, however, we have you covered." (honest Landry's commercial) Customer: (looking green and sweaty) Jesus God, what did they put in this gumbo? Tastes like botulism. Waitress: Here you go. Customer: (incredulous) A doggy bag? Believe me, I'm not taking any of this home. If my mother-in-law were visiting, maybe I would. Waitress: It's not a to-go bag. It's to puke in. They're surplus air sickness bags from Ozark and Braniff Airlines. Which would you like? Customer: Braniff, please. (takes bag) Very thoughtful. Urp. Waitress: That'll be fifty cents for the bag. Customer: Oh, god-damn-it!
Bigger (6'7), better 3ball shooter and switch defender than either House or McLemore. 6'10 wingspan makes him longer than both as well. Does not make a lot of mistakes too. Bolden is better IMO, but Broekhoff is worth a spot.
He is a 3 or 4 now at this point. He is obviously a very good three point shooter with range well beyond the line. I don't know how good he is defensively.
