    That was heads up, I can't believe he thought of that. That's the type of player you want on your team in the clutch.

    There were a couple of rebounds that showed he's got his legs back tonight. He's ready to start.

    I really like the way his offensive post game is coming. There were a couple moves the last few weeks that were extremely quick and he showed a nice ability to fake out his defender with a spin and then go.

    He's the black Budinger. He usually plays every bit as soft as bud.

    Shows flashes that he could be great, but mostly dissapoints. He is a terrible rebounder, way worse than Scola, despite having superior length and leaping ability.

    Him and Bud drive me crazy, I've realistically lost faith either one of them will be anything more than solid rotation players.

    He has so much potential. You see flashes of what he can be. At some point hopefully that becomes actual everyday production. He just has to start bringing that same attitude to every game and hustle. He will become better as a player. Patience. He is only in his second year. Patience.

    I do not see whats wrong with that as long as he is real good role player. You act as if 7.5 or 8.5 points a night playing behind Luis Scola in only 22 minutes and in his second season is a bad thing. The point being is he is only 1 year older than Marcus Cousins and is pretty good already. If you are only 23 years old? I think he has plenty of room to get much better to a little better. Some of you need to relax on the most talented guys on our roster like Parsons, Patterson, and Morris. It takes time to be good in this league sometimes.

    It's not a bad thing, he's a good player. But PF of the future suggests someone entrenched that you build around. He will be a supporting player on a good team

    Thats OK, but unfortunately the rockets have a roster full of these guys.

    Future looks brighter than people think. Patterson, Parsons, Dragic, Lowry, Lee, Donatus, Morris. These things are not fully figured out and so far a few of them are already working out. Parsons may end up being the steal of the draft. In fact I am calling it already. He is.

    Why do people give morris and pat the benefit of future growth, but not Bud, he's only 10 months older.

    This will very tricky because the Rockets would trade anyone for Deron or DHoward... not saying actually that we can obtain those.
    He might be a star here or somewhere else.

    Same with Parsons. Apparently he is who he is, and will never get any better.
