Jeez... I like Capella a lot and think he has a very bright future but some are comparing him to Yao and now Hakeem??? I hope he can reach those levels but I doubt it. Both of those guys were some of the best offensive bigs to ever step on a basketball court I just don't get that feeling from Clint. Now I do think he can be a monster on defensive and rebounding, he has a better chance of being deek that Yao and dream and that's all the rockets need.
Please read what I said again, because I said nothing at all of the sorts. First, I am comparing him to Akeem when he first got to UH, not the polished demigod of the post named Hakeem the Dream. When he first got to UH, he was raw, lanky, agile, instinctive, very little on offense outside of dunks, and poor FT shooter. Does this sound familiar? Gee oh golly, that sounds kind of like Capela (one L by the way, not two) doesn't it? Akeem Olajuwon was incredibly lanky actually and if memory serves, we had to put him through a BBQ diet to force him to gain some weight. Capela reminds me of THAT person, not Hakeem that we all knew and love... well most of us at least.
