    Let me make a few comments about D-Mo. I have watched him since before his Prokom days, and saw every one of the preseason and RVG games.

    1: D-Mo has an amazing back to the basket game. He is unbelievably quick in the low post. He does not have many contested shots because if you blink the ball is in the basket. I do not remember anyone who has had his quickness on his turn to the baseline moves.

    2: D-Mo has legit 3 point range. Needs work, but he stands head and shoulders above the rest of our PF's from beyond the arc.

    3: If you think Parsons is quick driving to the basket from the arc, then you will love D-Mo.

    4: Strength on defense worries the crap out of me.

    Well, if nothing else it will be interesting.

    It will fit because they will let CP3 handle the rock and Harden will play more off the ball.

    2. He thinks he has a 3point range and maybe make them in training, but he's needs to stop shooting them in game, he's like 20-25% from 3

    CP3 is currently spending a lot of minutes on the court with Jamal Crawford, who is fairly ball-dominant. It seems to be working fine there. Besides, Harden is good at playing off the ball too.

    I don't think so. I feel pretty confident that Morey would rather give up his eye teeth than trade D-Mo. By far and away the greatest upside on the Rockets roster other than Harden.

    I look forward to hopefully watching mini-Dirk get some minutes.

    He needs to shoot them during practice and the games. At 35% how can a defense guard him? Parsons except 4 inches taller?

    Cross-posting from the RGV thread:

    This guy will get his shot with the Rockets. Maybe not this season, but he's already turning players into assets.

    Didn't Harden's production drop significantly when playing with ball dominate Westbrook? The drop off wasn't even nearly as bad when paired with KD. I think that'd tell you something similar if he were paired with cp3.

    CP3 is a wet dream. Do not encourage the teenagers.

    Cp3 is not coming here. Clips has built a contending team.

    On D-Mo, I think they are bringing him in because PPat not playing like he should. Which is playing BIG!

    DMo's use of both hands in that video is pretty damn impressive.
