Quotes like this make me appreciate what the Rockets are trying to do. I see Asik, Patterson, White, Jones, Parsons, Lamb, and Douglas fitting the Rockets desire for defense. I know the rookies are not there (not even close in some cases), but these guys have the potential to play some tough defense. Motiejunas, Jones, White, Parsons, Morris, Lamb, and Lin all look like good guys for being uptempo on offense. Asik, Motiejunas, White, and Parsons should all be plus rebounders for their positions. With Motiejunas, Jones, and Parsons all being tall for their positions, it will be hard for teams to play small against Rockets. I don't expect the Rockets to make the playoffs, but if they get the defense down...they will crush the weaker teams in the NBA.
