    Maybe a post of clips from summer league would help settle this debate.

    Shouldn't you be banned from projecting players? Didn't you once say Terrence Jones was the next Dwight Howard??? I remember you were super-hyped up on all three guys we drafted that year, including Lamb and White.

    He thought Royce White would be like Magic Johnson.

    And I could be wrong but I think he also said there was no difference between John Henson and Anthony Davis.

    Are you the grammar police? We're on a internet fan forum arnt we. Secondly I have seen Chris wood play and I think he's not a very good player. He's skinny which impacts his ability to go up strong for rebounds and his ability to jump. He's no Anthony Davis for a skinny guy who can jump.

    My personal opinion which I stated is he's not a very instinctive player he has to look around before making a move, best case scenario is jordan hill and that's best case which I highly doubt he will achieve. Guys a knuckle head and is lazy those traits don't magically go away.

    You should kno that Undrafted player success rate is very low for guys with low motor and bad habits and this guy has all of them..... That's why he didn't get drafted.

    Pull up any of my posts that I have trashed any rockets big? I actually think tjones is a useful player off the bench and you can do much worse. I think dmo is a very good player and could be a allstar quality big with a few areas of growth i have stated in current threads going on in the garm.

    I think you have me confused with somebody else.

    By the way Chris woods isn't currently on the rockets so technically I'm not trashing a rockets big, but he is hot garbage I stand by that. If he becomes even a rotation player for any team not just ours in the next 3 seasons I'll put 50$ in the tip jar.

    You two are over doing it. Yes i am a fan of Jones. Was a fan of White's until i found out like the rest of that he had a situation. I was never really high on Lamb, i was just going with Morey on that one. That Henson/Davis line was made up by a hater. I was all for drafting Henson though.
    But hey, don't take my word for it. If you don't believe he will amount to anything then that's on you.

    His nbadraft.net profile reminds me a little bit of Eddie Griffin (RIP). Which may not be a bad thing for an undrafted player, particularly if he's in a better state of mind than Griff was.
