    Hope Troy makes the team, he's a battler. Probably should rest him though - the way he's going at it, he's going to get hurt before he sees the regular season.

    Cam Oliver definitely has an NBA-ready body.

    Need to go ahead and sign T Williams to a multi year deal. He is the Ariza replacement in a couple years. He has a lot of energy and athleticism. His offense will develop and get more consistent, especially being set up by CP and James.

    Taylor has really improved since last year. He could replace B Brown as 3rd PG. He should start tossing the lob to the bigs instead of trying that running floater. Learn from C Paul.

    Williams, Taylor, "Chi", Oliver, and Long will be in camp.

    I haven't been too impressed with any of the rookies so far. Zhou, Hartenstein and Oliver all have good potential, but in Summer League, you like to see more than this.

    Yeah, I think Taylor could make the squad as the 11th or 12th guy. I still would want the Rockets to add a veteran to be the 4th guard and take over Lou Will's role, but Taylor was good enough in the D-League last year and has shown enough in the Summer League to justify getting a chance assuming that the Rockets don't fill the rest of the bench with veteran minimum guys.

    Was just going to say. Dude has mass. Dwight Howard shoulders. Can scratch an itchy knee without bending it. Shot a 3 got fouled and made all FTs. I love it.

    I was updating my iPhone IOS right when the Troy thing happened. I really hope he makes the roster and doesn't get stolen by another team. That dude is amazing. Like a Dennis Rodman who can catch and shoot 3s.

    Well they are 2nd Rd picks and undrafted..... I'd be unimpressed if they were. 1st Rd pick.... I think it the line ups they're running too....

    Plus Troy is playing for a contract and he's really overshadowing these guys....

    Isaiah Taylor needs to be Chris Paul's understudy. Troy Williams should be in the rotation behind Ariza. Cam Oliver and Zhou Qi should develop chemistry together starting in the G-league.

    Zhou Qi is a legit shot blocker. There is no doubting that

    I want to see Joe, Cam, and Nanu play with real NBA players. Players tend to look worse when there is no setup from summer league players.

    Zhou is probably also not used to play more games in few days, he may be kinda tired after 3 games in 4 days
