    And honestly we're lucky in that the Rockets have constantly been finding NBA talent that goes undrafted. The league is full of guys that were with us at one point or another. Robert Covington, Jeremy Lin, Garrett Temple, Ish Smith and Hassan Whiteside come to mind immediately. Obviously there is the greatest of them all; Chuck Hayes. The timing isn't always right but they really do seem to uncover more than a few gems.

    Right now I'm really excited about Gary Clark. He looks like he can play.

    Not many undrafted guys you can imagine playing against the Warriors. Gary Clark has definitely got the look that he belongs and knows his role.

    I find it frustrating that we 'uncover the gems' - but seldom reap any reward... it seems we recognize the talent - but rarely develop them... while guys like Bobby Brown, Chinanu, Qi, etc.. take up a roster spots... oh well, I guess we'll always have PBev... lol

    Murry’s Main squeeze will always be Cash Considerations.

    This guy and the last are like spent pieces of bar soap waiting to be lumped together.

    I actually think this is a positive thing. First of all, great to see G-leaguers make it to the NBA after their hard work. Second, for Rockets organization to produce as many NBAers, it builds goodwill and further shows Rockets have great player development program. More undrafted players might want to sign with the Rockets. I mean, we can't sign every promising young players with potential but for a bad team like Chicago, it makes sense to take a chance. Good for Rockets and great for the G-leaguer to see their hard work pay off

    Yeah the fat jokes are played out and Morey is the opposite of lazy.

    Morey needs to fill some holes and soon, but he is trying and is out working every other executive. It isn’t for a lack of effort.

    It's pretty ridiculous how much fringe talent comes through our system and psuedo farm team to make it on a pro club.

    Morey is ridiculously innovative.

    Oh I know.

    Harden is too fat and black and lazy.... D’Antoni doesn’t coach, he just rolls the ball out and Morey is a celebrity nerd that spends all his waking hours binging on fast food.... and Chris Paul is a greedy cripple that should of taken $60,000,000 less “just because”.

    At the end of the day it always comes back to these same PLAYED out arguments.

    Harden can average 35 points a game but he looks fat and lazy and out of shape and his ladies look too “ethnic”. D’Antoni can rank at the top of the league in offense decade after decade; but he just rolls the ball out and says “play”.... Morey can have huge bags under his eyes and shake like he hasn’t slept in a week but he apparently just sits in the Toyota Center eating Wendy’s double bacon burgers all day while watching tentacle p*rn.

    Some things never change.
