For those Rockets fans who wanted to draft or acquire Hassan Whiteside, he is now available since the Kings waived him. That's according to Sam Amick. Sorry, I don't know how to credit tweets.
Right! "With the 14th pick of the 2010 NBA Draft the Houston Rockets select Patrick Patterson" - Stern "TF I want Whiteside not Patterson f***k Morey!" - DD :grin:

Whiteside needs to be converted to a 4. Let him run the floor and space the floor. Don't give him anything to think about. Just space, catch the ball, shoot it, or pass out if covered, or drive and finish if it's there.
Why not? We're certainly center deficient. I say just give him a chance and see if he sticks in 2-3 years.
