    That's not the only reason. Just don't want a one-year rental. Also, these rookies have looked good at the college level to, I don't think they are flukes, but players to grow in our system. Don't want that fools gold named Dwight.

    Loved the rebounding by Royce (10 boards 5 assists). He must be feeling better today. That rebound and coast to coast slam was classic college Royce. He even showed a 10 foot jumper. Hope this is the Royce we see as he gets the feel for the NBA game.

    God, that's what is so painful watching summer league. You get attached to the rooks.

    Between Motiejunas, Lamb, White, and Jones; which two would you keep?

    Jeremy Lin heading to Toyota Center according to that announcer.

    though i know obviously that dwight is better than these players now. that i like the feel and style of this team here. its exciting to see the potential that these kids have..and for once i want houston to keep and gamble with our picks instead of just trading them away..just my opinion

    The thing i noticed about him being pushed around, is that he is very active afterwards. His only really big weakness is not being able to get around the box out. Yeah he gets pushed around, but he still stays active and fights for position, and plus he gets those long rebounds most 4's struggle with.

    Him being pushed around isn't that big of an issue with how he does work after the initial contact.

    Easy.

    Donuts and Lamb.

    White and Jones are very good though. This is looking to be Morey's best draft.

    It would suck losing any of those 4. Just the potential each player has gets me more excited than the Howard trade.

    To put things in perspective. This Kings SL team is dreadul and the Rockets only just beating them. Hardly any defense from both sides.

    In the NBA it would be painful to watch as the other team gets better. For the Rockets, this is the Rockets team.

    One thing you notice about D-Mo is that he plays above average help defense for a 7fter. You can live with a slightly undersized guy at the 4-5 positions if you play great help D.

    I like the rookies a lot, but the people who say turn Dwight Howard, a Top 5 player in the NBA, down because of some good summer league games need some sense, wheather it be a rental or not.
