    Does this mean that Clint has taller shoulders or smaller head? :p

    Cant play much worse than Black or Dorsey, and at least you get to develop a youngter a little bit.

    Geez... the Rockets might have the worst big man rotation in the league outside of Dwight.

    Even in the D-league he still seems to be missing huge fundamentals. He dunks with his right in one play with all the defensive traffic on that side as well. In an NBA game they would have blocked him or stolen the ball. He has no sense of spacing and it shows by the numerous 3 second violations in the paint. He might not ever be NBA ready.

    Jesus. The roll @ 1:38 is awesome and the finish is crazy.

    I was saying the other day that this guy was 2-3 years away but he is probably better than Dorsey or Black right now.

    Give him a couple more games down there and recall him up. We need a rebounder / shot blocker.

    How are you going to say he is never going to make it? This kid is like 20. Another quality Liberon post tbh...

    Holt S**t, he's averaging 4 BPG, in 12.5 MPG

    That's 11.5 Blocks per 36 :eek: He's also averaging 13.8 Rebounds per 36.Even in the D-League that is worthy of attention. If this kid can learn some fundamentals he could be a beast defensively.

    Also 5-7 from the FT line. Which is obviously insignificant sample, but I wasn't sure he was even capable of making a FT when we saw him.

    Actually, those are things coaches can TEACH. Unlike explosiveness, athleticism, or quickness. So I think you have it a bit backwards.

    He's a young European kid. Growing pains are to be expected.

    I can realistically see him averaging a double double with rebounds and blocks.

    Instead of points.

    Yes, he did. He has a long way to go before he is NBA ready.

    The same league that deemed Dorsey "the best defensive big". :p
