He played point some last year. In one game he had 10 assists. He brought the ball up a lot last year. Pay attention to the games.
Porter / Wall / Thomas Green / Gordon / Brooks Tate / House Wood / Martin Theis / Sengun Garuba and Christopher in the G League until Gordon and House can be moved at deadline or injuries. I think Sengun eventually starts by the end of the year and see him getting 30 minutes a night.. I don't see Wall going anywhere with that contract until next season as a possible trade for a star player... if not that, then you buy him out...
Ideally Porter Green Tate Wood Theis but given wall might be moved later in the season as his expiring deal will have some value it will be Wall Green Porter Tate Wood
What I want to see is: KPJ Green Tate Wood Sengun could that be the starting lineup of the future? Unless we get some other high quality player or high lottery pick.
For this year Wood-C Tate- pf Kpj-sf Green Wall Looks like Kevin Porter got taller and if he's 6'6 then he and green at the wings will be amazing. Sengun needs to get stronger and faster first before getting heavy play time. Eventually Sengun will probably take the center position and Wood will move back to pf.
How is this amazing, you have Wall/Green/KPJ possibly the worst defensive trio in NBA history at those positions. It's not by height guys. Starting line ups are determined by who you can guard rather than how you score, and that's done because you choose who you guard at the start of a play but you don't choose who you score on so it would be illogical to base a lineup on something you can't control. None of these guys are capable of guarding a 2nd tier wing scorer.
Future: Tate (like the idea), Green, Bey (athletic, glue guy / 2 way player) Wood, & Sengun. Porter / Martin both get starter’s minutes because is only one ball we spread out the offensive/talent. Theis and Garuba round out the rotation. to start this season: Wall, Gordon, House, Wood & Theis Backed up by the youth movement.
C - Theis/Sengun PF - Wood/Martin SF - Tate/House/Nwaba SG - Porter/Green PG - Wall/Gordon The Rockets are trying to be competitive. At least until it looks like they can't be. Wall, Gordon and House will play. Garuba and Christopher will probably be in G-League until they trade some vets.
Mr. John Wall helps us Tank ....but doesn't help KPJ in his development to full time PG. I too hope all three (House, Gordon, Wall) are gone but i highly doubt it.
Now that Wall has exited stage left Porter.................Augustin / Khyri Thomas Jalen Green......Eric Gordon / Armoni Brooks Kenyon.............Tate / Nwaba / House Wood................Garuba Theis................Sengun
I would probably swap Tate and Kenyon, but that's a minor detail. Should be fun to watch. Can't wait to get it going!
Yes most people do and Tate has slimmed down while working on a quicker release I just like that final 12 game stretch against playoff caliber teams (T-Wolves only non PO team) in which Kenyon Martin excelled at with 39.3% from 3 and 16.8 points per game. Should be interesting....Go Rockets!!!!!
