There was simply no room for him. He had too many first names which led to eating up too much roster space. it was a first name crunch.
I'd like to keep him, but they have so many players they need to do something with first. The roster needs to be consolidated desperately. He'd be pretty easy to cut loose, so he might end up being the victim of a numbers crunch.
I think you have to keep Bruno. The dude is the best rebounded on this team and rebounds at an insane rate. He is the best finisher and also a good shot blocker. If he develops a three ball he's a force. On your list,Hardenstein is already a Knick, Chriss, Burke, and Brown are going to be cut. Nwaba and Mathews have no role on this team anymore. Gordon is going to be moved. Martin is also likely to be moved. That brings your list down to 9-10 players. There's definitely room for Fernando on this team. Pick him up for another year.
It's interesting how Rockets fans will often fall in love with RGV Vipers like Bruno, Nix, Titty Washington, and Garuba.
QUALITY!!!….what exactly has he done on the Rockets at the pro level to indicate that he should be a G League player??? He has performed exemplary when given the extremely limited opportunity. He’s earned a shot….if he fails then we can have your conversation.
What has he done to make you think he's not? He logged a grand total of 152 minutes for the season most of which on an intentionally tanking team, and no one has had any interest whatsoever in sighing him thus far. What makes you think he's some great player? He wasn't even very good when he was actually in the G league.
