    I expect them not to get any PT , not through their own faults , but because of roster moves that I am hopeful will happen.

    My expectation is for Clyde Drexler to be able to pronounce chuanaunaaunau onauanuanauanamku properly by season end

    I see Nanu as a defensive Center who blocks shots and rebounds. He can also pick-n-roll. I like him as much as Capella. Both could flourish with CP3 lobbing the ball. I hope we keep him.

    Regardless Nene resign or not, if we don't sign another big, Nanu will play a bigger role this season for sure. Will need to fill Montrez's spot. Nene will definitely have many games off like last season. It will be a great opportunity for him to grow. Exciting to see that happen.

    I wouldn't mind giving him a 2 year contract with a team option if nothing of significance shakes up. Having an athletic wing that can potentially guard 1-3 and could possibly be able to shoot 40% on corner 3s is always useful.

    real excited about nanu. play style is similar to bogut but less stiff.

    just in the glimpses he played, you can tell he can read the game.

    I wanna see what Troy Williams can do, last year MDA really should have given him mins he had some good moments for the Grizz and now he has good mentors in both Tucker and Ariza who will show him his path in the league.

    When I see Troy I remember Roberson, where would Roberson be if coach didnt trust him with PT?

    Again, for those that missed it earlier, he and Bobby Brown are no longer Rockets (at least for the time being).

    I feel like it's been so long since I've seen either play and that I can't make any comments about them that are informed. I'll be on the lookout for commentary from Rockets players or staff about them. They know.

    I think it is obvious that Nanu has no future with the Rockets.

    Nothing has changed. Scrubs. No future with the Rockets. Time to get rid of Chinanu next.

    I've always considered nanu a scrub. Don't know what the staff sees in him.

    Why is Nanu not cut and Troy is?? We have 6 centres and he’s much less of an impact player than Troy.
