    So 14 players, 0 centers. Nobody taller than Jabari. The forever tiny Rockets.

    Is there any interesting player with true potential apart from our draft picks?

    I mean cf's has been talking about garuba being one of the bigs for this team going forward so......

    the rockets just got 3 1st rounders. and JC returning. That's plenty of potential. Summer league rosters aren't littered with lots of true NBA guys. That's why its summer league

    Number 1 looks good on Jabari.

    Fingers crossed hoping he ends up a Nike Athlete.

    Yes, but the Rockets used to get players with at least one NBA attribute... I see a bunch of nobody guards who will overlap our NBA quality guards and that's it. And it's OK playing Garuba some center minutes, but I'm surprised he's going to play all center, and probably Jabari is going to play some minutes there as well. Because there is nobody else.

    Houston used to get care of their SL teams. I just see 0 recruiting job here and no plan at all. "Put together our draft picks with some random guards and let them play." Lazy. Well managed franchises don't do it like that.

    Tari Eason has some seriously, large hands. 11" wide.

    Nix
    Nix is not random. He is presumable our backup PG.

    This is a weird take.

    They have Christopher, Nix, and TyTy playing as guards and Garuba, Smith and Eason in the front court. Who are you interested in seeing?

    the rockets are in full rebuild. specific specialists aren't exactly a priority. what you see is what you see on every other nba summer league roster. A lot of guys that won't make it

    Have you seen the rockets current active roster? It's a long list of guys who need minutes to develop. You expect a summer league roster to add to that? not happening

    Youre looking at this summer roster as if it should mirror the actual season. That will never ever happen

    you may be right. anyone you could presumed to be talking about would never get a chance no matter how good they are on the rockets. 7 rookies and sophmores. nix tate kpj martin. two picks next year. there is no playing time for anyone like that with so much young talent on the team.

    What little brother's name is better Zoran or Eron. You can't make this up.
