Rockets signing Troy Williams

10 days contract. Why dony let him play today? Sign him just for sitting on the bench or like bobby brown for few mins?

 

Probably just to let D'Antoni and staff take a close look. After Ariza we are pretty thin on the wing, especially defensively. Dekker is a PF with his jacked up shot. Plug and play potential If we had an injury going into the playoffs or need a good athletic body for Bzdelick's schemes.

 

Troy Williams played for RGV last night getting 14 points, 4 rebs, 4 ast on 6-9 shooting

for me he's a keeper...young, athletic, hustle guy, can shoot the 3s

 

Addresses the token alley ooper role. Nice job Elvis!

 

I remember watching Sulaimon play live while he was at Strake.

 

Man..

This guy looks so good in transition.

Obviously only against D-League competition last night, but he looks so comfortable playing an uptempo pace.

 

Looked like on some drive ins he was gonna dunk but opted not to. What a tease. Guy has freaky athleticism.

 

Thx for the clip. The guy moves fluidly and not afraid to run towards the basket, unlike Ariza

 

not impressed by this clip, but like the future potential.

 

the young ariza used to be a posterizer

 

If Troy makes his perimeter shot consistently he could stick.

 

Meh...

 

I watched the full game earlier, just went back and watched the highlight clip.

His game doesn't look nearly as herky-jerky throughout as it does in the clip.

His defense appeared good without knowing too much about the other team. He crashed the boards well for a wing too, his vertical helped a lot with that.

 

Looks like if they leave a wide open lane then he's our guy. lol
He DOES seem to run well

Glad to see him make at least ONE J. And a 3 at that

 

The messiah has arrived.......we are winning it all now folks... Honestly it wouldn't hurt to have someone capable of taking it to rack with a ferocious dunk when the threes are not falling.

 

He doesn't have to do much. With all our shooters the lane is wide open for lobs and cuts.

 

Is his basketball iq better than kj?

 

Nah, he's not a Center, so you'd be taking a shooter off the floor, which is what creates the wide open lane that you want him to exploit.

He needs to be more of a threat to shoot threes than KJ and Brewer; otherwise, we've seen the problems with having 2 non-shooters on the floor. If you want to change the system to not have 4 shooters on the floor at all times (which is what GSW, BOS and CLE do as well), we might as well trade for Rubio.
