DMo should be the backup center and part of a three bigs rotation with Howard & jones.

Last night I was really disappointed by his rebounding effort. Basically if it comes to him he'll grab it, but he doesn't work on position and boxing out at all and he doesn't have the aggressive, chase it down "My Rebound!" mentality of good rebounders.

That plus meh defense means if he isn't scoring, he isn't doing anything on court. And there aren't exactly a ton of scoring opportunities available here.

In order to succeed, I think he might have to go somewhere that can invest regular season scoring opportunities in him. At that point you can have him on court and let him work on D and rebounding.

Actually, DMo should be the starting power forward and should be part of a four person rotation, also including Jones and a true big man, to be named later.

I'm not familiar with Mr. Lang, the author, but I loved reading the quotes from Donuts and from Fitch. Thanks! Assuming we keep Donatas (I hope we do, unless we absolutely have to deal him to make the Rockets a better overall team), he has a chance this season to finally break into the rotation in a big way. Asik is gone. Who's the competition? Jeff Adrien, a journeyman, so far, in his career? Clint Capela, who's never played a minute in the NBA? Terrence Jones, a 4 with no business being our first option off the bench at the 5 when Dwight sits, in my opinion? Josh Powell, for crying out loud? Big men almost always need time to develop. Sometimes a lot of time. They can't all be an Hakeem Olajuwon. In fact, there will never be another Hakeem, but I digress.

This is addressed directly to you, Donatas, as I don't doubt that you check in on the BBS from time to time. It's something, in my humble opinion, that some Rockets players do when they feel like beating themselves up. Self-flagellation, as it were, when uncertainty surrounds them and they're feeling weak and need a good kick, figuratively speaking, upside their own head to lift themselves up. Absent a move that has yet to occur, and may not occur before the deadline at mid-season, if then, who's standing in front of you? Donatas Motiejunas, that's who. Play to your potential, and the spot is yours for the taking, Donatas. Play to your potential and I'll send you a dozen boxes of donuts from my favorite bakery in Southwest Austin, better than the Krispy Kreme donuts so famous around here in the Hill Country. KC Donuts. Fresh, there are none better, since my mother isn't around making her own (and very missed by me). Be an impact player this season for the Rocks and just send me an address through the board. A dozen dozen of the finest will be headed your way. Hell, I'll deliver them myself.

Show the league what you can do, Donuts! -

So basically, donatas, get in shape and I will send you a food that is generally associated with getting out of shape.
