Houston Depth '14-'15

Tell me about it! Nachbar over Prince was a massive blunder...

 

the only thing good about him is he is a pass first pg.

 

The thing is we are again carrying three rookies and a couple of 2nd year players.

He has to beat out one of Adrien/Dorsey/Garcia/Terry/Daniels(I think he is a keeper)/Johnson.
Others are more guaranteed. Tough luck with those veteran names.

So far I think who are on their way out: Black, Mitchell, Covington, Powell

 

Edit:
Johnson is staying because of his ties to HOFer Dennis Johnson alone

 

Our maybe because he can play...He's the most well rounded guard we have.

 

he's actually pretty decent. he reminds me of JJ barea in that he brings a lot of energy. but he's more athletic than jj and bigger.

 

Well Harden seems to be well rounded as well and of course he was lazy on D sometimes

 

im amazingly not hating of our depth, it sucks at point guard but its nice for our wings to not be 2 man deep (for 2 positions)

 

Agree with this.

 

deleted post as I was not checking the post date. my bad. Anyway, Terry-Dorsey-Papa are sure fire 2 teamers imo.

Our bench is much better then last years in so many ways from over here.

 

Ok you can apologize to donuts now.

 

I think you pretty much nailed it but still I am waiting till 2 weeks from now to cement my thoughts on who I feel should be in or out.
As if that matters at all of course ! lol.

Adrien is now my pick for Most Surprising Pickup I didn't Really see Coming.

I want to see more minutes from him Thursday night. Gee he's a kinda exciting dude. Morey wasn't just blowing wind on getting tougher.

 

I really want to see nick Johnson become a solid back up over the next couple years. I know he's not even 22 so it's gonna take time. Hopefully he was just a little nervous his first game and will step up to his summer league level

I think jones will start but end up playing with second unit as Adrian plays D while harden howard bev and ariza do what they get paid the millions for

I think they will keep Johnson because he has high potential and him and Daniels battle over the backup pg/sg. It just all depends on terrys performance and if we trade him. I wanna see terry get a chance tho

I think are final roster will be

Beverly/terry/Johnson
Harden/Daniels/Johnson
Ariza/papa/Garcia
Jones/Adrian
Howard/DMo/Dorsey

Ish smith is gonna have to do some good **** to get a spot

I think the Garcia deal was dumb but we will see what happens

 

Bev
Harden
Ariza
Jones
Howard

Guys who get minutes:
Adrien
DMo
Daniels
Johnson

End of bench:
Papa (until he adjusts, I think he'll get minutes as the season progresses)
Terry (or Garcia)
Canaan
Dorsey

Reserve:
Garcia (or Terry)

D-League:
Capela

Waived:
Black
Powell
Smith
Covington
Mitchell

 

hate that no one's taller over Dwight as our backup Center..he needs to practice with an opposing player bigger than him..

 

D-Mo is definitely taller.

 

would like to see us pick up Gal Mikel if he is cut by the Mavs since they have half the pgs in the league on their roster

 

Dorsey will be a nice surprise this time around just like a lot of people on this board thought the Ariza was a stupid and worthless signing.

Ariza is not the same old Ariza, I don't expect Dorsey to be the same old Dorsey...

 

hes pretty good kind of like a more polished nick Johnson. lots of energy..athletic.

his last name sounds like "McHale" though. ha ha.
