If you liked Tarik Black, you're going to LOVE Alan Williams. Dude is a beast on the boards. I'm actually surprised he wasn't taken in the second round of the draft. Rebounding tends to translate well as an NBA skill.
In the past, NBALP offers all games for very cheap. Does anyone know if ESPN3 streaming them will cause a blackout for the NBALP steam?
Hate to say it, but this guy just screams immature dbag. Bragging about all the texts he's now receiving because he is so "popular" now. His interview the other day left me speechless. Won't miss him a bit when he's gone here in about two weeks.
"I'm not a pure point"... Discouraging but guess what #donteverdoubtajohnnie Per D'angelo's twitter. Rockets messed up. Watch Dee will come back in a year and bite them in the ass.
Here's a write-up by Feigen about a few of the roster guys going into SL: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/spo...eport-Johnson-Capela-old-hands-at-6371778.php
Game 1 (espn 3) Friday July 10th features D League Select vs. Rockets 9:00pm (Cox Pavilion) Game 2 (NBA TV) Sunday July 12th features Phoenix Suns vs. Rockets 3:30pm (Thomas and Mack Center) Game 3 (espn3) Monday July 13th features Toronto Raptors vs. Rockets 9:00pm (Cox Pavilion)
Morey wants to use the MLE on KJ McDaniels, Harrell and Wood. That is unrealistic. Harrell is not agreeing on a 2 yr contract to free up the MLE, otherwise he would have signed by now. Morey needs to tell Harrell that all he is going to get is the 2 year offer.
Damn, we dont play until 9pm tonight. What the hell am I supposed to do with all the time in between?
...and the one year offer that KJ signed when the 76ers drafted him. On a side note, I almost typed the Philles instead of the 76ers. I know Houston is a Football town, but guys in Philly must sure be looking towards football season. As bad as the Astros were, I can't imagine how much it must suck for two teams in the same city going through massive teardowns at the same time.
Yuck. No thanks, Ill pass and it better not affect next season. Damn those luscious kardashian asses. Who says its not 3 over there? Chip hasnt proven anything in that front office except confusing the hell out of his peers and his following in philly.
As excited as I am to watch Clint catch oops and possibly show a little midrange, I want to see his improvement on defense. We all know he is a great help defender and can block shots but I want to see if he has more awareness and if he improved his strength. If he does, then I feel very comfortable about him being the back up center and possible starting games when Dwight needs rest. Our season, how far we go, almost depends on his development.
Good call Bima. Alan Williams may have been the best rebounder in the draft and yes college rebounding usually translates to the pros. This guy could be the summer league sleeper for the Rockets. I was surprised as well with him going undrafted just like Wood. When the rockets rebound well they usually win.
6'8" center. Wide. Probably why he wasn't taken. But he could be a great summer league / NBDL guy. I'm definitely looking forward to the game tonight.
Morey wants to use the MLE to sign Harrell & Wood but he won't know until KJ & possibly Smith are out of the way. Any second rounder can accept the second round QO of 1 year minimum, non-guaranteed just like KJ did. The fact that Harrell hasn't accepted this yet means he is waiting to see what additional offer Morey gives him. Harrell would be taking a big risk taking the 1 year QO as this is not Philly, he will be in the D-League the whole season with limited NBA minute opportunities. You can't get a big contract playing the in the D-League, you have to do it in the NBA.
