    Nate Williams had 3 years to improve, but his ceiling has been determined...glad we let go of him to bring in another developmental project...Actually, I like Chandler and he'll be a good developmental prospect to hold on to

    he was 2x All SEC Defensive team, so he prob has potential as a defensive player.... reminds me of Rodrick Rhodes when he was here, all D and no shot

    I guess he can always provide 6 hard fouls as needed. He looks like a linebacker with that neck.

    Great! I always thought Nate is a waste of roster spot, now the Rockets has to add a veteran minimum contract to get to 14 to be in roster compliance, I hope they sign Talen Horton-Tucker he’d be perfect running mate to Sheppard in the backcourt and gives the team an extra playmaker in case of injuries, he’s still young enough for improvement too.

    I see what Stone is doing here. He let Cam Whitmore know he was expendable by getting a copy of him in Cam Matthews whose last name is a close Anagram to Whitmore. Rearrange Matthews and you get WHETTMAS.

    Cam Whitmore = Cam Whettmas

    Stone, you son of a b****, you did it again!!

    He's a 4-D chess master who just got 2 2nd rnd picks for nothing.

    If he makes the regular season roster, I bet Cam will play maybe 100 minutes this season, but that's completely dependent on if the Rockets will actually blow out scrub teams this year so they can empty the bench and let roster spots 11-15 finish out games.

    Alperen Sengun is Passive in Confrontation. Always back down in Potential Fights. (Draymond Green) Dirty Fouls Elbow to Sengun Face. Alperen Sengun didn't even care.

    Need a Isaiah Stewart type that can Foul Hard.

    This time, it appears the Rockets really have the Ray Lewis of the NBA.

    Alperen Sengun is Passive in Confrontation.

    Always back down in Potential Fights. (Draymond Green) Dirty Elbow to Sengun Face. Media Michelle Beadle, Chandler Parsons, Lou Williams disgustingly saying Alperen Sengun Flopped, he didn't and was seen spitting blood.

    Alperen Sengun didn't even care just spit blood. Acted like nothing happened.

    Need a Isaiah Stewart, Charles Oakley type that can Foul Hard.

    Signing Guys like Clint Capela, Steven Adams, Cam Matthews for Alperen Sengun Weapons in Alley Oop Dunker in Clint Capela, Steven Adams body check, Cam Matthews as a Protector and Enforcer.
