Stone loves these G-league ignite projects. They always work out don't they? If we had to pick up a body might as well have been Spencer Dinwiddie.
Anxiously waiting for the Daishen Nix is The Rockets' Franchise Player™ thread ... followed by the Daishen Nix Appreciation Thread ... with maybe a Should Nix Start? thread in betwixt.
But the bigger point is Nix can't masquerade as an NBA rotation player either. He's player #14 on this team, not #7 or #8 (or even 9). Okogie can play G next to Reed or Amen.
He was the ultimate Reed-stopper when Reed was flexing his CP3 moves in last year’s summer league. Obviously, Reed needed a challenge, since no one on the current roster could even slow him in practice.
I think this has more to do with Reed getting a bit banged up last night and having a moment that he looked like he might be injured.
