    Where is the "It's Happening!" Gif that is wildly popular. Anyway, this is trade fodder or just a D-league acquisition?

    Sampson nailed it. Looks like a stretch 4. RGV is gonna be a very spread out offense. Canaan, Kennedy, and Covington. The Orlando Summer League teams have been warned that they are going to have to run the Rockets off the 3 point line.

    So this is basically just a 150K joke for the sake of a good laugh with Sampson and Morey when they see each other at TC today.

    I think this guys a project as a SF, and is worth stashing in the D-League next season for sure. He seems pretty athletic and could have pretty high upside in an uptempo system running the floor, and especially on the defensive end with his size, length, and athleticism for that position.

    As a PF, I really dont see much use for him, but who worth a stash. Not sure if he's worth a roster spot though when they need some players come October. Going to be a player to watch in Summer League though for sure to see if he has anything.
