    Again, what does this have to do with the upside of the Rockets players under 25?

    I think all of these evaluations are about right. In this thread, Onuaku is definitely the most underestimated. He's a pretty nice compliment to Capela. I do have my doubts about Dekker, though. His defensive court awareness is not what it needs to be, and he's had durability problems. We'll really know what we have with him next year.

    OK, compare our players to the rookie and 2nd yr player on GSW -- Damian Jones and Kevin Looney. "Who are they?" You might say. That's basically what you're asking us wrt to 4 of our players on your list, so don't expect a lot of positive views.

    four players on your list COMBINED to take only 32 shots this year, and combined 1 shot attempt in 11 playoff games. For those four, you're really asking us about D-League players. To say anything more continues to be speculation akin to draft day predictions, which is not a good sign that we still don't have more info to go by, yet. You might as well be asking us what team Payton II plays for now...lulz.

    Again, what do you think of Damian Jones and Kevin Looney?

    ok. I get that.

    Yet we have to try and
    Wiltjer - just really needs to put on weight . . .MUSCLE .. . he needs to be on the Capela program

    ok. I get that.

    I wonder if any insiders know how the team views these players
