I agree....and yet he is still there after the Rockets claimed they would pursue a center in free agency. Slim pickens now. I don't feel they pursed Chris Boucher, Bamba, Mitch Robinson or Jalen Smith with much enthusiasm. And I know Silas likes his past Mavs players. Many here like Boban; but I would not waste a roster spot on him. Treat him like Camby his final years. Coaching/staff development personnel.
Boban the Great? Guy gives up 57.9% (3-pt DFG%)..... 0.9 3PA's contested per game. And that's if he rotates to contest the 3 ? https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1626246/defense-dash I know you are kidding, but please.....the average 3P% in the NBA is 37%. Boban is spotting the opposition 21 percentage points to their 3's at tip-off.
I dont know how to looks up stats like that generally. Will link show me other centers opposing fg%? I want to see the wolves new center that was acquired for 15 draft picks.
Yes, I can see Kessler used in a 2-3 zone defense. Kessler is a little faster than Boban. Have you seen Boban run in the past two season? Watch him defending the PnR (drops back to the rim and is about a mile from the 3-pt shooter. Sorry my friend, he is just around as salary filler in a upcoming trade in two months.
So they have one offseason to add elite spacing, elite defense, elite coaching and the favor of the NBA luxury tax teams? Even GSW took like 4-5 years to get to the top.
Really surprised they let him go. I thought he would have had trade value. I wouldn't be mad if he came to rockets.
Thanks buddy. I hope Stone can snare one good player in a trade who won't hamper us down the line eg Wood. Even if he doesn’t, I'm okay with the current situation. My hope is that the team will win 30-32 games.
I agree. I had: Rockets approximately 31 wins with addition of Nic Claxton Rockets approximately 35 wins with addition of Chris Boucher Rockets approximately 37 wins with Mitchell Robinson Rockets approximately 42 wins with both Boucher/M Robinson I got none, so we (Rockets) are back to 28-30 wins as is. Back to semi-tanking for Wembanyama. ________________________ Rockets can go so many ways or variations with the current roster. *They (Rockets front office) are working the phones trying to be a 3rd or 4th party in a Durant, Kyrie, Westbrook, AD, Myles Turner, others deal? If not... Final option is waiving a few players prior to opening night, as the Rockets get to 20 players through the pre season. Obvious candidates for waiving are Boban, Chriss, Trey Burke... But the FO may like Chriss....while Patrick Fertitta loves him some Sterling Brown and Nwaba forever. Anywho, I'm hoping the Rockets add Isaiah Roby to bring the roster to 19. Rockets have first dibs on waived players.
