    Good. Should help a little. Little more height and, when healthy, I think he will contribute better than Green in the front court. If we do look to bring somebody in this year, I would love Williams from Portland who is clearly an upgrade over Jock.

    I actually like Landale. Says it how it is. Plays hard and knows what he's there to do. Even if he's not with us in the long term I wish him a long and successful career wherever he goes. I can root for journeymen workhorse players like that a lot easier than the Wood types who bounce from team to team and still play selfish bullshit. Hope he comes back soon.

    Jock provides 3pt shooting but haven’t seen anything else he’s done better than Jeff.

    He only has played 9 minutes the entire season, so I have no idea what to expect from him.

    Jock will become a fan favorite once people actually have a chance to watch him play. He's a hustle guy. Will fit in well with Amen, Tate, and Tari (when he returns).

    I agree. He'll never have flashy numbers, or even those feverish Gary Bird streaks where for a minute he brought so much fun to a painful season. But I think his no-nonsense blue colour attitude and willingness to play the role will win him a lot of fans.

    Our bench is getting destroyed so far, having Jock and Tari would make a huge difference. High energy play on both sides and can make open 3’s. Plus they can run in transition which would help Amen. Can’t wait to have them back.

    Well we want to watch him play if he can stay on the court.

    Rockets have an awful bench. Playing grandpa 21 minutes a game says it all.
