    Armoni is butter from 3.

    KJ's best game but he's improved while producing at consistently high level.

    Love Woot's emphatic swats but he needs to learn how to control the ball to take next step in his defense.

    Armoni Brooks is the best Shooter on the Vipers. His Accuracy is on point at the rim, similar to Ben McLemore. But I think he can defend and has better IQ.

    Armoni I think should be signed quickly to the Rockets.

    Brodric Thomas looks motivated and angry since the Rockets waived him. The Rockets need to be smart and resign Brodric because it was dumb move to waive him when the Rockets have no Backup Point Guards on the Rockets.

    Brodric Thomas is a better defender and a good 3 point shooter and can drive to basket by creating on his own dribble.

    This is another reason I'd like KPJ to stay a little longer in the G. I want to see how he bounces back from a game like this. I'm really liking the new AB, his release is like poetry in motion (or like butter as you said), like that he hustles on defense and seems to have the IQ that Ben doesn't.

    Really hope Stone is baking some moves so we can resign BT and add AB to the stable as well.

    And that says A LOT when they have Sexton.

    Exactly, love Armoni more than BMac because he has better IQ and great effort on D.

    Does KJ Martin bring his own trampoline, or do they supply one for him?

    His hops are ludicrous

    He’s ridiculously athletic. I love him as the Rockets 2nd round pick. He looks like a hell of a steal.

    If he can develop a consistent 3, he could be a huge contributor. Not everyone's got that kind of athleticism.

    Silas will call them both up. This is a no brainer, Rockets need another playmaker AND another big.

    He’ll fit in quite nicely in this defense. Let’s go ahead and trade House Jr.

    House makes the defense dumb the moment he steps on the floor. I dislike him so much.

    KJ Martin is extremely Smart and Intense on Defense. He is Ruthless in Blocks and can Guard Laterally with his Quickness.
    He is Very Strong to Guard bigger Power Forwards and a Brick Wall for Strong Guards.

    He is a Starting Power Forward and he is Shooting 3 Pointers better.

    KJ Martin looks like a NBA Talent, Could become really Special, Similar to Carl Landry with a 3 Point Shot. Compared to P.J Tucker a Journeyman or Euro League.

    G League Players is more Talented than P.J Tucker at this Point.

    The Vipers reminds me of when the Astros Minor League Team the Bandits, Lancaster JetHawks with 17, 18 years old Carlos Correa, Lance McCullers Jr., Josh Hader

    It is just fun watching the Youngsters play.
    Kevin Porter Jr and K.J Martin Jr. are Special.

    Brodric Thomas and Armoni Brooks need to signed quickly, the Rockets bench needs them.

    Need to move House, BMac, Tucker and Dipo first.

    No roster space right now.
