    You are lucky because he is the most likely player we've had since Artest to join this spectrum of wunderkids we call Clutchfans

    I like him being here, but at 37, he is not a superstar player, he is a great scorer, but in the NBA, moving the ball around helps make your team better and harder to guard.

    KD should get the ball middle to late in the shot clock not at the beginning, he is a ball stopper and when teams double him he is not good enough to beat that anymore and no one is moving they are all watching him.

    The proper use of KD unlocks a much better overall Rockets team.

    1. Sure in a perfect world we have a 1A scorer that can dish but we have nothing close to that.
    2. Using KD like he's Carmelo on our current roster is a bad bad ancient plan
    3. In today's league which team doesn't have their best scorer as their lead ball handler?? Only 1 or 2 exceptions in cases where the best scorer is also the best defensive player, which does not apply to us.
    4. KD is the ONLY player on our team who can hit a straight away 3 from the top of the key and beyond. No hyperbole. If he's not there, we surrender the entire backcourt and our spacing.
    5. Cramped spacing, bad shots, being tall = recipe for being an all time great offensive rebounding team. Check that off the list
