    I've watched Omar up close in the WCC and he is, at best, an 8th man in the NBA. Not that much of an athlete, but he has some skills and tenacity.

    EDIT: Maybe with his band, aka The Misfits, he can redo the Rockets fight song... or, um, do a Rockets fight song.

    I think I remember him from Summer League. He was on the Mavs and outplayed the Rockets bigs.

    I remember watching him a bit last year. Their entire team was basically centered around him. He was slow but effective. Solid training camp pickup I'd say.

    I saw him in college good post skills but unfortunately he is not an NBA level athlete. No leaping ability or speed but thinking about the rockets history of signing players with no athletic ability he might get signed to a 5 year deal.
    List of horrible athletes on the rockets in recent years
    1.Luis Scola
    2.Shane Battier
    3. Chuck Hayes
    Least athletic starting front court of all time

    Damn dude. Just when you thought Rockets post players couldn't possibly play any further below the rim -- wham -- we bring in Samhan. He should be trying to carve out a corporate career, not chasing NBA pipe dreams.

    This is what it has come to....

    For the first time EVER I'm thinking we should tank. We cant trade for a franchise player; we have to draft one.
