    Call me a homer, but I was surprised to see Marcus Cousin at #3 in D-League prospects at draftexpress while originally looking to see where Aubrey Coleman stood in the rankings. But hey guys, this kid can shoot lights out: 56% from the field and a whopping 83% from FT at about 5 attempts per game. I know some people have listed Sean Williams as a prospect they would hope the Rockets' pursue so I was hoping to hear ya'll's take, because I would like to see if this kid can ball.

    He looked great for the Spurs in the preseason, I was surprised they cut him.

    "While not much of a shot-blocking threat"

    As a center, I'd pass on him for this current team. He sounds like he could probably work out as a backup for other teams in the league, but without that threat of blocking shots in the paint, he does nothing for us.

    I wish there was a DE in front of that name.

    One thing that bothers me is that we have this so-called deep team and there are no spots for d-league call ups. The team is 20-25, we maybe deep but is it quality depth? It nice to be 2-deep at every spot but if those players aren't getting it done, what is it good for? I hope, when Morey works his magic, we can open up a spot or two so we'd be able to make a few call ups and see what some of these guys can do with a chance.

    We should have never let Hilton Armstrong get away, especially after we gave up Carl Landry to get him.

    I saw him play during pre-season. He is not what we need. He is not that enforcer, but then neither is Hill.

    One another note - I think the Blazers just picked up someone better.

    PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Portland Trail Blazers, granted a hardship exception by the NBA because of numerous injuries, have signed center Chris Johnson to a 10-day contract.

    Johnson is averaging 17.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 3.07 blocked shots with the Dakota Wizards of the NBA's Developmental League. _______________________________________________________________

    Interesting to see how he plays for them.

    We gave up Landry to get K-Mart because we didn't have anyone who wasn't injured(T-Mac) to play at the 2. Armstrong was a bad player anyway. I'm glad that he's wearing a Rockets jersey right now.

    What about Sean Williams then? According to the same DraftExpress page, he's currently ranked right behind Marcus Cousin and HE'S A SHOT BLOCKER AND RIM PROTECTOR CENTER
