    Wow. JVG is a Texans fan. Didn't think he cared about egg ball.

    Fully assimilated Houstonian now, I guess.

    He's always been a bit of a chucker. He's never had an absolutely amazing year from three. Averages about 36% from three for his career, which is fine but it's not exactly elite.

    He has always been a very trigger happy player. I don't expect this to change any time soon.

    Everytime JVG shows love for the Texans, they get creamed.

    He is definitely chucking out there. He can put it on the floor a little bit after a pump fake but he isn't quick enough to get anywhere near the basket.

    It also seems he's a bit of a black hole when attacking . Tho hopefully not as bad as TJ .

    Once again this is why so many people still want to bring back Dmo . We need more unselfish playmakers , and Dmo definitely is willing to pass

    I like what I see from Capela so far, but only against second unit, he is no way starter yet.

    Okay, but we shouldn't depend on him longer than 25 minutes/game.

    He's gets injured pretty much every year, and is now 34 y/o.

    Depends on if he's still healthy in 20 games.
    Same for Nene.
    :(

    Meanwhile Capela is getting owned by everyone on both ends of the court.

    Gordon is looking good out there. He's one of those guys who doesn't have to be WIDE OPEN to make a positive contribution. Even with the defense slightly off balance he can attack and get himself a bucket.
