Rockets need to move or buy out: Eric Gordon, Nwaba, Wall, all the Mavs players from Wood deal, Nix (?) Add: Mitchell Robinson or Chris Boucher or both. I don't really see how Nic Claxton helps us? Hoping it's misdirection smoke and mirrors stuff. All the players improve by way of maturation and because they are all hard workers that strive to improve and get better. Rockets add length and wingspans....improves rebounding, deflections, put backs, steals, altered shots. Silas opens up the playbook on both ends. Wood who didn't want to run Pick-n-Roll and would walk the ball up the court exits and Silas replaces him with guys willing to learn and willing to perform the duties of Roll Man. Big staple of what made his offense click while in Dallas. ________________________ Team as is: 30 wins Team with Nic Claxton: 31 wins Team with Chris Boucher: 35 wins Team with Mitchell Robinson: 37 wins Team with both Mitchell Robinson and Chris Boucher: 41 wins Pick anywhere from (#1 if we win lottery) #6 - #16......depending on injuries
Agreed. Thought he showed steady improvement throughout the season. Works hard on both ends. It wouldn't suprise me at all if he plays at another level from the jump this year. In fact, similar to your "x factors" comment, I expect he and Sengun will be the most improved of the group. However, I do expect Tari to be starting along with Jabari, after the ASB. Now if I'm wrong and Tari still has a ways to go, I could see Christopher getting time in the starting lineup. Especially if EG and Tate or KMJ are traded. Moves are going to have to be made. Have too many bodies as it stands.
