Uber athletic long lob threat. Not seeing a player with lower than average BB IQ but definitely does not have Capela's hustle.
This makes me think of a possible Kevin Love trade, cause without all those salary fillers we would've to trade Capela and Gordon or PJ to match his contract.
But wouldn't that be something to see? Because it would mean the Rockets are trying to aggregate salaries to bring back a player with a substantial contract.
Any fresh thoughts on this kid? He's still young, and he's 6'10. We're in desperate need of anyone 6'10 who can play. He isn't playing in summer league though. What's the story? Could he be a less dumb-as-rocks Marquise Chriss?
https://www.nbadraft.net/2016mock_draft I looked up the mock drafts from the year Deyonta was drafted (2016) and they almost all had him as a late lottery pick. Doesn’t Harden turn scrubs into rotation players?
Yes. He looks better then Isaiah..so that's already a good thing...man I hate Isiah just not a NBA player.
There is speculation that we only signed him to aggregate his salary for trade purposes. This would lend credence to that. I hope not but we will find out on 7/31 when his salary guarantees.
Feigen: Q: What happened with Deyonta Davis and how come he's not on the summer league roster? A: The Rockets picked him up on waivers, but primarily as a trade piece. He likely will be released before his contract becomes guaranteed.
