    And this kid is born 91 as well.

    He is as young as you can get playing in the NBA.

    I love this guy.

    Sign him to a 4 year Parsons/Budinger deal. 800,000 a year...

    20 Years old

    He's our answer to the likes of Dwight Howard just in case JHill and Thabeet keep getting pushed out of the way

    Compared to Thabeet lumbering up and down, most guys can look fluid and active

    As opposed to Joey Dorsey and Greg Oden born in '71

    He is the muscle guy we need if the Rockets start to get pushed around by big players. I think he needs to be on the roster for this reason and not in the D league.

    I know minutes are limited with only two preseason games but I would like to see him get some more minutes next game. He looked pretty good in the few minutes he got today.

    In LAST NIGHT's GAME he played like the rookie with the most promise. You know the undrafted one.;)

    Do you all think he would sign a Budinger type contract? He could make more money overseas.

    If so I am okay with:

    Hill as the starter then Smith/Thabeet 5-10 mins. each a night. It is going to be a short and fast season; I think we will need all three just to keep pace with the season.

    :)The more we blow the higher we go; the higher we go the more we grow.:)

    I hope this kid sticks around the Rockets for some years. He is going to be a beast! He has already proven that he can be strong in the post.
