    I don't want to place too much emphasis on a summer league game but the gravity was eye opening, the shooting was legit, and most impressively he didn't just make the right reads, he placed the ball in the spots PGs are supposed to too. He IS going to make our offense better....still worried about how he fares defensively - it's not like the Lakers summer league team had players who could exploit his size on mismatches but dude clearly has some skills with those fast hands that will give him a shot against more careless ball handlers. FVV similarly is able to make plays like that so it's ironic that he will be mentoring Reed...can't wait for Sunday's game.

    Amen is a Andrei Kirlenko/Shawn Marion type of player all the way.

    With better passing and a worse three-point shot.

    I like the Marion comp. The other should not be mentioned in this forum.

    Same experts who wanted Clingan over Sheppard would have also traded Alpi for AJ Griffin.

    Reed will outplay his draft position. Clingan wasn't even the best center in the draft but he did have the best PR team by a large margin. He will never live up to the PR teams hype. We got the best player in this draft! Thank you Stone for doing the right thing!

    You can’t be a Rockets fan and dislike Sengun. He’s a guaranteed future all-star in his early 20s getting better every season. WTF is there not to like?

    Adams is screening the s**t out of those players lol.

    Things you don't see immediately in the box score but gets reflected in-game impact. The man has screen highlight reels, think about that :D
