    I wanted Huff coming out of college, he’s been a great defender and 3pt shooter along with solid athleticism.
    Played on some great Virginia teams

    WOW! So Jabari is not going to be a starter? Even if he goes 1 for 11 each night.

    i like the new lineup:

    PG- FVV
    SG- GREEN
    SF- KPJ
    PF- DILLION BROOKS
    C- SENGUN
    Always put out the best 5. I just do not believe in Jabari just yet, he does not deserve to start. I like Dillion playing the 4 position....now we are cooking

    Bench:
    Amen
    Cam or
    Tari
    Jabari
    Landale

    Jake Fischer is an idiot, and he needs content. Ime is not Silas, and we are not tanking this season. In this roster, Sengun absolutely starts and get 30+ minutes.

    Phase 2: Electric Meritocracy !! I hope its a damn bloodbath in hurt feelings, trades and bans if in the end we have the best roster to compete. Steel sharpens steel.

    The burning question is: with shoes of without shoes? Inquiring minds want to know.

    What would make this Jake Fischer dude an insider in any way? Just watching him on Youtube, he just seems like some random nerd who is making up ****.

    Is Jake Fisher @jopatmc? Should we subscribe to a newsletter? Should we evacuate to Katy?

    Jake Fischer has broken news in the past, but this was not a case of that and he never suggested it was. Just his own read aka opinion in who he thinks will be the starters.

    If you listen to the clip he makes it very clear that he's just speculating. He's not claiming this is what the rockets org thinks, or that he has any inside info, he is just saying "this is what I think the rockets are going to do."

    It just sounds so outlandish...sometimes, when some of these guys speculate, it seems to be quite strongly driven by their own personal preferences.

    The only way Alperen Sengun should go out in any kind of trade is if you've got some sh*t-hot big to replace him, and I don't know who that'd be.

    DeAndre Ayton is one of four players on the Phoenix roster making gigantic money and you know Phoenix needs a bench, but I don't know at his salary if what he brings is better than what Sengun brings (all of this is a "for-instance"; you seldom get a sense that the Rockets recognize what they have in Sengun, or, more accurately, focus on his perceived negatives and miss the positives).

    Alp is better than Ayton right now. Ayton is arguably a worse defender right now, even with his length
