    7'1" Baylor stand out who was supposed to go to the NBA in 2014, he has Marfans, but the doctors cleared him to play.

    The Rockets should sign him ASAP!

    I read somewhere he's going overseas for a year and then tryout for the NBA.

    Better than Bobby Brown, Brewer, or Ennis.

    Well yes, it is a low risk potential high return move....and I believe he is an UFA, right?

    Exactly - lets sign him up. He is a center with skills.

    As a make-a-wish one day contract? Sure.

    How do you know that? He's tall and kind of long but I think his medical condition is for life. Plus he wasn't a particular standout player prior.

    Well he couldn't be worse, those guys are BARELY NBA players - and shouldn't be playing at all.

    This would be like getting a FREE first round pick.

    Would rather unload these guys to possibly get a Nerlens Noel in return at this point. This Austin kid got a raw deal in life and despite his cleared to play, it's over for him since nobody in their right mind should take a chance on something as serious as Marfan Syndrome. His uncle Isaac will have the better basketball legacy. I'm sorry.

    The DOCTORS cleared him, that is good enough for me.

    The DOCTORS, not a bunch of posters on clutchfans.
