    He’s also playing for Thibs.
    I think his numbers will go down based on their style of play

    Super classy when he aired out his beefs to the media, and cried about defending taller players, and publicly questioned so called "small ball"...

    DIVA.

    The best thing he ever did in a Rockets uniform was telling the Refs to kick his dad out! The wave was pretty epic!

    I remember he helps Houston to beat golden state by shooting 3 points. He should stay here especially changing coach

    How many pg's do we really need. Ben mac also can handle the ball westbrook is a ball handler. Benmac also has another year under his belt. What we need to focus on is someone 6'7 6'8 or 6'9 that can play the 3. We need a young ariza.

    I mean we need both for sure... This roster is missing a lot. I dont think any team feels comfortable running ben mclemore at point. His handles are average but he cant create. Remember we only traded for paul in the first place because harden needed more play makers next to him. Imagine what this team would look like if him or wb missed time.

    Like many of us, i hated him but grew to have much respect for him once he became a Rocket. Really nice post game interview from him yesterday, I’m happy for his success.

    He was always disrespected by the refs and that costed the Rockets in the post season. He still offers great ball handling and lived up to being one of best high school prospects.

    I don't know about the lived up to part. There was crazy Kobe talk about him in high school. But he is a solid pro, and seems to be a rotation everywhere he's gone. He's gotta a toughness about him that all coaches like. Fits better on a team near the top of the league because he's a bargain and you know what you're getting.
