    I like him more than I did at 1st. This could be a direct arrow at KPJ, the blind pg

    I feel like Ty Ty wil outplay KPJ as a PG, but Silas will be unwilling to make the change.

    Yes, I misremembered the number, but can't edit my original post. I'm sorry for that. The 12% and 11.8% marks were remarkably high, among the worst marks in the combine. They speak to why neither of these guys has the kind of explosion they should have.

    TyTy did not do an agility drill or run after measuring. To Nix's credit, he's gotten serious about taking care of his body.

    Yeah, I'm not sure about TyTy's situation, tbh, since I really don't follow college ball much, but Daishen's was just weird. He gained weight, then seemed to lose weight before the combine, then sometime right after the combine, he ballooned again. No clue. I'm curious to see what he'll look like coming into the summer leagues or next camp. Hopefully he keeps at it.

    Well, you want three point guards in the mix, KPJ is more a 6th man anyway imo

    I was shocked they kept all their picks, tbh. I hope they can take care of all the minutes before the natives on here want everybody and their mother to be getting 30 mpg.

    Silas will play Tyty more just simply because its easier to say his name.... In fact, its possibly the only name Silas has the ability to remember....

    He will and should spend time with the vipers then get called up when he’s ready

    The Daishen Nix - TyTy Washington face-off is setting up to be the most consequential Rockets 4th string guard battle since Tierre Brown v. Tito Maddox

    It was shocking, but TyTy was too good a value to pass up at 29!

    Is his father, Tyrone, the Rockets draftee from the nineties?

    KPJ is locked and loaded as the starter, don’t get it twisted.

    TyTy will be chipping away all season though, he’s a competitor and he’s also my guy.

    TyTy will eventually be the starting Pg for this team. Can’t believe he was there at 29.

    Wow, I really need this gif to be a mainstay over the course of Washington's tenure with the Rockets.

    Can we make that happen clutchfans?

    He'll probably start in rgv but if he's as good as some seem to think, he might battle his way to the big team and start eating into Nix's time towards the end of the season

    I watched a lot of this video and this boy talks a lot. I don't know if it's just because he's mic'ed up or what, but he dropped a bomb on some fans in this forum. Just hit play and wait for it ... or just watch the whole video - it's pretty entertaining to listen to him yapping. You'll also see him playing with Jabari and vs Chet in a few clips :

    Yes and friendship is used loosely too. In some cases these guys have met each other twice and it’s portrayed as friendship when really they are only friendly.

    People read way too much into all of this.
