    Nice to see Tari being supportive.

    But Josh doesn't belong on our roster...

    To be fair not really talking about the Rockets this time but other rosters.

    We will see if his game has matured enough and he can be instant Offense off the pine.

    He is as trigger happy as certain Tyler Herro so Miami would respect him.

    I've always liked him. Glad he showed out, hope it leads to something for him.

    If Josh Christopher turns out to be a Real Dude, even if that's just a nice career off the bench, I think we'll all have to admit that Stone's front office is in fact pretty damn good at drafting.

    Just not convinced he's very good at roster/asset management.

    It does not really matter if you are good at picking when your developmental team is just below average and you only develop like 30% of your picks.

    Or they do not develop to half of the potential they were projected at.

    If you can defend, you got a spot on the Miami Heat. Plus, they know how to develop young players. Best of luck to him.

    That's fair. So far the only player whose development I've been really happy with is Sengun. However, it's still early days on the Udoka era & for the majority of our other high draft picks.

    They wasted time searching for a PG and still searching or him after overspending with Fred...

    I think other positions suffered by this search as well.

    Too bad cheap Conley went to Minny.

    I think Apache in his rude tone tried to convey that which is not wrong.

    Too much wasted effort

    Josh can be the featured player on a team. That's actually the right role for him.

    Just not in the NBA.

    He said AN NBA roster, not specifically OUR roster.

    What I have been trying to tell y'all has been confirmed. Josh Christopher playing significant minutes = Championship.

    Good to see he finally found a spot, he wasn't going to get that in Houston.

    Just looked at his playing time with us.
    Dude has over 132 NBA games with 15min/game

    Hope he does succeed in his career, but come on... all he did was the expected to get a new chance.
