    We prioritize rebuilding and our this years rookies. But we utilize Wood, Theis, House earlier etc. None of our rookies is placed in position to suceed. The **** are we even doing lol

    The narrative that proper leveraging of Usman Garuba is in the top 5 or even 10 things the Rockets need to worry about right now is way more ridiculous - especially given how little he's in shown far.

    That's not a narrative, its fact.

    First round picks are valuable assets and should be treated as such.

    And it is beyond ridiculous that Silas or Rockets FO only have a list of top 5-10 things to focus on or improve.

    You have never run a business or even lead a team have you?

    He might have been a first round pick, but right now he's the second best big man on the Vipers.

    But anyway yeah as to your question, if I'm working on a project with upcoming deadlines and some galaxy brain genius is speculating about a bunch of bullshit not immediately relevant, i usually start ignoring them and not copying them or inviting them anymore.

    Does this ring true in your experience?

    He's averaging 9 and 10 in the GLeague on 50% TS. Seems like he's struggling down there too.

    The Garuba haters are RIDICULOUS!!! He’s only 19!! Karl Malone at 19 was just a sophomore at LSU! Plus Sengun is clearly stunting his development.

    Seriously, though…. I liked what I saw at the Olympics for Spain: competent young player. Of course, I’m projecting a role player at the NBA level, not a star.

    Karl Malone at 19 was having sex with 13 year olds. Keep it in your pants Garuba! :D

    Malone was the father of three children: two by Bonita Ford, a woman approximately his age from his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana, and one with Gloria Bell, who was 13 when she gave birth. Malone and Ford were both 17 when twins Daryl and Cheryl Ford were born; Malone was a 20-year-old college sophomore when Bell, at age 13, gave birth to Demetress Bell.
