Motiejunas & Machado, Two new Rockets come in with confidence

This guy has the confidence of a star. He got the size right now but if he add a little more strength to his frame, he has the ability to really dominate that 4 position. To me, he's a 7 footer so I think the Rockets can slide him to the 5 position and he'll be able to really knock some centers off their feet. His quickness for his size, his great footwork, soft touch and incredible talent, this guy has all the tools. If he works hard and put on the muscles, he can be a handful for guys like Bynum or Dwight Howard.

What makes him special compare to a Dwight Howard is that he can use his footwork to get around other players and with his soft touch, he can score from almost anywhere inside and outside the paint. He can be a big threat in the post with his great footwork, plus he can run the floor for a 7 footer kind of like a McGee. He plays hard on every single possession and he's not afraid to bang. His confidence makes him tough because he wouldn't back down from anybody and IF he gets much stronger, he can create mismatches to Power Forwards and Centers across the league because he can use his strength and size to overwhelm the PFs and his quickness, agility and great footwork to outmatch most centers in the NBA. This guy has the potential to be an all star someday in this league. I just hope he stay healthy, work hard, and play to his fullest advantage, we may have a future all star PF or Center...

 

In that case, we'd better trade his ass immediately. I have this feeling he's about to suffer a fairly serious hand injury

 

dunce

 

the game is more mental than physical and it looks like he has that part locked down, more than half the battle is won, he just needs to adjust to the speed and physicality of the game and put on a bit more muscle and theres no reason Mo cant be a matchup nightmare at the 4
over 7feet tall savvy, athletic and skilled, can post, can shoot, with boatloads of confidence.. he has the it factor, every star has it

 

Does Donuts not play for the Lithuanian national team, for the Olympics?

 

Hope we don't trade Donuts. Unlike that tall stiff Dabust, Donuts is a very skilled bb player who happens to be very tall.

Once he gets used to the NBA speed, this guy will be something to watch: too tall for PFs and too fast for the other centers.

Morey did a great job in getting him.

 

He doesn't. Head coach couldn't promise him a significant role on the roster (behind Kleiza and maybe Jankūnas) so DMo chose to spend his summer with the Rockets and their summer league.

 

He wasnt good enough last year to play for them lol.

 

Love it.

Also McHale is acting like he's some HOF coach or something eh
