@Denovo On a side note, the network had Josh Christopher mic'd up I liked the way he was communicating defensive on the court
They put his jersey up on the nba store but I’m nervous to buy because I bet he switches to number 4 eventually House is kind of a b**** for not giving it up lol
I dont think you ever watched a young Scola. Scola was not this good at that age. Is not even close. Btw, he's bigger, longer and jumps higher than Luis, and also has better ball handling. PS: Edit to say, respectfully, DD
Facts. Saw the same thing. Amazing athleticism, great shooter, easily the most talented on the court. Scored with ease. Dude is like a Kobe and Durant Hybrid. He may even grow more!!!
I don't understand why everyone is hating @DaDakota 's take.... It's been proven that every time he shares his, laughable, negative opinion about a player, said player turns out to be a very great starter or at the very least role player for the Rockets. I'm ok with him saying that JC sucks, it helps us... and I'm glad he doesn't like the Turkish dude because he will NOW for sure be about 100x better than Luis Scola was. No surprise here since he was part of the Mobley Mob from the onset. Hot takes turn into hot commodities for the Rockets squad so be happy!!!
It feels good to have some buzz around the Rockets. If Jalen Green becomes a bigger, more athletic Allen Iverson, sign me up!
Ya large part of AI's relatively bad scoring efficiency relative to other superstars was his height. He just had to flat out do a lot more to get a good look than someone of Green's size and explosion. Though people are forgetting how explosive AI was coming into the league.
loved Iverson in philly. if he can be an MVP and take a team to the finals like AI sigh me up. I don’t get the comparison tbh. I think their is other great scorers that are better comparisons. Brown is interesting I do see some similarities between the two that’s a very nice player if that’s maybe what is more realistic ceiling for him. Browns a legit 25 ppg scorer who shoots the three ball at a nice clip. Very good young player.
I don't think Brown is his ceiling. Though that doesn't mean if he maximizes to Brown's level I would be disappointed. I would be happy with Jaylen Brown level also.
I think he can have a higher ceiling also I’m with you. but I never thought of Brown before but now that I think about it that’s a solid comparison and prob more realistic than Kobe or MJ as much as I want him to be that and maybe he will depends on if he has that same work ethic and more importantly that killer instinct. i sure hope so either way I do think he’s going to be a very good player for us and and it will he a lot of fun watching him develop in Rockets red with the other young guys we have.
I think he mentioned in the post game interview that "it's not his number" but the jersey said Rockets on it and it feels good. So i think he absolutely plans to be his #4 and still wears the #4 bling. I'd wait to buy a jersey. I personally won't buy a jersey because they're ugly and still waiting on a proper rebrand. I stick to the name and number tees, especially in black.
I can't wait for tomorrow's game. I bet Thriller goes at Cade w/ no fear and we'll finally get a good look at their size similarity or differences.
Kobe/MJ lite or a 6'6 Allen Iverson? 1 Bobby says a 1 way bench player. DD says a lesser Von Wafer. Life is good.
