    Hey CF,

    I was wondering what you guys thought of Spencer Hawes. I haven't seen too much of him in the past but I was watching the Philly games during this years playoffs and he looks promising. I know he probably hasn't lived up to expectations but I think that he can improve

    I'm just wondering what you guys think. Can he be a good 5 in the future and would you want Morey to go after him this offseason (not as a primary target of course)?

    Weren't the Rockets interested in him at one time?

    Anyway, I don't see how he would help this team.

    Will fit in with a starting 5 with Dragic, Bud, Parsons and Scola.

    I'm not sure if he's injury prone or not.. I know he missed some time this year but I was looking at his stats and it doesn't look like he's missed too much time

    Fits right in with the rest of the mediocre team we are compiling. His addition will solidify a # 9 seed in case we lose Camby or Dalembert.

    I think he has a very country sounding name.

    I play Draw Something with him over Facebook. No insight to the thread topic, just throwing it out there.

    Solid player, could improve some more but not overwhelming upside

    No. Here's the reasoning. It has nothing to do with McHale. Its about players that got overlooked either in the draft or through trades.

    The Rockets have drafted alot of players like Bud and Parsons that were undervalued because they weren't considered athletic enough for their positions because...well you guessed it.

    The Rockets have taken advantage of the deficiencies that other teams have had when they draft players out of college, and the result has left them with alot of white and international players.

    I dont think it has anything to do with race. It has to do with deficiencies in the way teams evaluate talent in the draft and internationally.

    It has to do with racial stereotype.... when most of the guys that are lottery picks are not white
    White guys get overlooked more.
