    Put him in coach and see what he can do, see if he can help us. House Jr sure is not helping much anymore at the SF spot.

    I would not get hopes up too high for William Howard.

    Hope I'm wrong and he gets chance because he would be tallest forward on team at 6'8 and is much better 3 point shooter than House. Also gets his hands on a lot of balls (steals, deflections, blocks) due to long wingspan and defensive IQ.

    Just not as explosive as House. But his calm nature makes him more even keeled and better role player IMO.

    Would like to see what this guy can do.
    Can't remember the last time we had a true 4 that could defend and shoot.

    If House does not wake up and start playing better, I am hoping Howard will replace House.

    59" is just as eye popping. In comparison, Russ has 37" max vert.

    4’11” is just as crazy.

    With the Salary Room that just opened up, Morey's going to sign Howard to a 3yr min deal now with MLE money.

    That is, after we fail to use the Room money on trades or cashing in TPEs or buyouts.

    woohoo
