    He'd be a short small forward for the rockets.

    Would he be worse than Walt or Rice at the three defensively?

    No.

    Would he be worse at rebounding than Rice or Walt?

    No

    If you want a guy that can knock down a three, he's your guy. 27 of his 32 games he hit multiple threes and never had a game where he missed all his three point attempts. As a Longhorn alumni, I can say there is a sigh of relief when he dribble the ball inside the arc.

    His biggest problem in college is that he had a difficult time with double teams. The rockets should be good enough offensively to keep that from happening. His biggest problem with the rockets would be whether he can shoot over/ get separation from bigger players. He can penetrate despite his horrible two point percentage which was caused by collapsing defenses.

    Might not be the longterm solution at the three, but may be the best option the Rockets have at the 15 spot. The rockets will probably want to upgrade after a year or two, but then he would make a great backup for Cuttino.

    Reminds me of MD.
