    Hate to be a grammar nazi, but “Do the Rockets have the best bench in the league”. Yes.

    Boston had the best bench.

    Also Cason Wallace, Hartenstein, Wiggins, Joe, Ajay Mitchell, Dillon Jones is pretty deadly.

    The answer in 23-24 was "No". Judging by what I saw last night, that hasn't changed much.

    Why would we want somebody who could only score 7 points in 16 minutes off the bench in preseason? Pretty sure we've already got our scrub tier guys to cut for the year.

    Made this to update the original tweet.

    Funny thing is, on paper we are deep. If we can get the right superstar and package a few players and picks together to get him this kinda depth is scary. But it is just on paper.

    No one just “let’s Boban go”… He decides to leave.

    Raffy failed to sign him to the max deal he deserved. If we're not careful, same thing will happen with Sengun.

    get 'er done Raffy

    Amen, Whitmore, Tari, Adams and Reed Sheppard are the bench. Udoka sat some guys so sone of those bench guys started last game.

    Rockets should have the best bench they got starter level guys coming off the bench.

    Just because they could be starters for our team does not make them starter-level. No team with post-season ambitions would see the prospect of starting Tari, Cam, Adams or Sheppard as a positive development.

    We are talking about the bench not the starters right? Not sure why you think they have to be championship level starter just to say you have a deep bench? Even our starters arent championship level caliber yet so thats a false argument. Having starting level players coming off the bench is a luxury very few teams have. Even championship teams only have a couple starter level players off the bench.

    Adams is a starting level player, he started for OKC so many times. Before he got i jured he was literally the starting center for Memphis.

    Amen and Cam are starter level players, not sure what else to say about them.

    Tari is a bit rusty and RS is a rookie but they have potential to be starter level by year end. Tari was a starting level player before he got injured last year and Sheppard is the third overall pick.
