Our budding star! http://www.nba.com/rockets/video/teams/rockets/2015/04/17/20150416RednationRoundtableCapel-3575350
If by next season, he can become our own Brandon Wright or a poor man's Tyson Chandler or DeAndre Jordan then I will feel very confident about our back up center, and possibly, starting center of the future. Dude needs to hit the weight room hard by next season and work on a little 5 foot hook/12 foot jumper.
I had a huge smile the entire time he was talking about his debut. We often forget just how much these experiences mean to players. He's made a fan for life
He's pretty smart for a young buck and his English is good. I loved how he said he doesn't want to be a specific player but wants to take bits from each and every great big man. Also how he used to watch everybody but then started watching modern day PFs and Cs. Smart dude. It also sounded like he's going to get minutes, Joel was pretty confident about that. Capela himself was more tentative and just happy he gets to play the game. He's not at all how I pictured because it seemed like he had a big ego about wanting to come over this year and how the media presented it. Now it just looks like he made a great decision and actually forced the Rockets have to a nice young big as a back-up instead of Morey's favourite
I know he said Clintee, but it sounded like he said Clean T. Clean T actually fits. He's smooth like that.
