    Which means the opposing team can pack the paint.

    But he has a low post game which is something the Rockets need.

    I'll root for the success of anyone on our squad. If we trade him/ cut him eventually I'll be a hater and talk mess like the rest of you guys, but tbh I'm kind of worried that if that were the case he would ball out for some other franchise. Everyone knows this guy could be great, and if anything you need a lot of patience to be a Rockets fan so just let it work itself out. It would be a waste to not see this guy on the Toyota center hardwood in a Rockets jersey ONE TIME. It could be really special.

    He had a post game in college against smaller opponents. While he has bulk, he will be at a height disadvantage against many PF's in the NBA.

    This. Remember this wasn't Morey's pick, but McHale's. It will be interesting to see if he made the right decision. Hopefully his talent evaluation won't be as bad as his gametime decisions (at least most of the time).

    The first test will be when Royce is forced to do something he doesn't want to do.

    you wonder if he always intended to orchestrate this publicity stunt (from draft day forward) and now that he's made his silly point will hopefully just play
