    So do you think he'll start and play 32 minutes a game for the Rockets, come off the bench and play 27 mpg, or be a player we leave on the bench but can easily rely on to make a play in the closing minutes of games? You know, like a 3 point specialist.

    I'm just having a hard time believing Bima when we have a low turnover guy within reach.

    I'm telling you, the guy is sneaky. Scouts from other teams are going to have the same issues I did. That's a serious advantage.

    On a more serious note, I like the man's shot mechanics (especially his footwork on his shot) and his defensive highlights are pretty stellar. It's like you can see the regret in the shooter's face, like why did I just put that shot up?

    Jared Cunningham is a very interesting combo guard too.

    I'd hope he'd be careful with Tillman's money.

    He's in financial trouble already, in case you hadn't heard:)

    The Aggies that ball out in college (Law, House, Wright) suck in the NBA. The ones that are meh in college ball out in the NBA (Jordan, Middleton).

    The players at Rice who got drafted were 50/50. None of them were meh in college. Out of the ones who balled out at Rice, half balled out in the NBA, and the other half sucked in the NBA.

    There were only two ;)

    Ricky Pierce 18th pick (26.8ppg at Rice in last year, 2nd in the nation)
    Morris Almond 25th pick (26.4ppg in last year)

    His dad (same name) was a hell of a basketball player also. We grew up in the same neighborhood, but he was about 5-6 years older. We called him baby Jordan. He had the skills and bald head like Mike.

    Ouch. @ThatBoyNick is likely going to be sad. I wonder why we dropped him? Signing a PF that likes fish sammiches? Or maybe a "Nobody gives a rat's nipple about me" guy? Or Tony toMorrow?

    My apologies to @BimaThug. Turns out he was the one that was right about Danuel and I was wrong in saying that he would start. I really thought we had something special here. This veteran had never once turned the ball over in the NBA. I guess Morey doesn't value this sort of thing.

    Cam Oliver being cut deserves it's own thread or two. One for appreciation and one for the open roster spot. Are we keeping Demetrius Jackson? (EDIT: I forgot that Jackson is on a two-way contract)

    Keeping Demetrious and Troy seems a luxury IMO. Was hoping to see Oliver play before cutting him.
