TX bbq hits differently and with Silas as coach, I imagine there is a lot of stress eating going on too.
Oh no I was just saying that his floor is getting established now in the type of player he'll be. He's a much better shooter at 20 years old than any of those guys were at 25 so who knows how good his shooting can get with time. We have a good piece in Garuba.
I think…JSj needs a ‘time out’. Sit, perhaps two games, and reboot for an end of season ‘run’. I have said, and I believe, Jabari will have an exponential jump in his second season.
I agree UG is a keeper. I do believe he’s (at least) a year away from being a consistent contributor.
Instead of imagining Wembanyama next to some player with glaring, hard to fix weaknesse like Garuba or Sengun who would struggle to get rotation minutes on playoff teams - let's imagine, just imagine him next to players whose biggest need isn't a full time janitor.
Why not? He's a borderline rotation player on the worst team in the NBA - 50% chance he's not even on the roster next year. Most late first round projects just don't ever hit. That's why they're late first round projects
Are you sure? With the departure of dear Bruno, the Rockets have nearly cornered the market in terms of nominal big men who can't really jump high and/or catch in Sengun, Smith and Garuba. This opens up critical above-the-rim spacing for highflyers like Martin and Green.
Guys who have played well enough to claim to deserve to start this year: Martin Tate. Boban. Sengun. Guys who have not played well enough to deserve to start: Everyone else
