    I could be wrong but I think he was commenting on the fact that we drafted to sf. I think jabari plays 4 and Eason plays 3

    He got better in his head which made his lack of progress worse.

    What is it with Brewer that fascinates posters here? First Green is Brewer now Eason is Brewer lol

    So this guy is dumber than a bag of rocks apparently but I mean playing hard doesn't really require brains does it? In fact, less brains might be better in the playing hard category LOL!

    He doesn't have the best feel for the game, but he doesn't have low IQ either. He defended Jabari confidently on the perimeter without getting in foul trouble. It's ironic that both of them are on the Rockets now!

    Let's be optimistic. If he develops good chemistry with Jabari, we will be in good shape.

    I had high hopes for KPJ last year, and he totally dissapointed (apart from the last few games).

    Being a pro is mentally taxating as is, and I can only immagine how hard it is in the NBA. Most guys don't get even a little bit of leeway he got, and he still had issues (the Memphis game is something that stayed engraved in my mind, I genuinely couldn't believe that he behaved in that way).

    I know he's young and he has a long way to go with his maturity, but after last year I'm being cautious with him. But the Rockets believe in him, and so will I, and hopefully he justifies the resources that they put in him.

    I really wanna see KPJ’s defense elevate this year. He took a leap last year but if he keeps improving…KPJ/Eason/Jabari could really make us a top defensive team

    Agreed. Let's add Mo Bamba to the mix too.

    No. Rockets need more 3&D players, not just D.

    Then that's good. I just thought that he's still shooting below 35% and his rate is low.

    his shot form is too low. You should never see your guide hand higher than your follo-thru.

    That's good. 3&D players nowadays are a premium. Just 2 won't cut it. But it's a good start.

    How many do you want? There are a number of other areas of need on a team besides just 3&D

    Minimum of 3. If you want to run with others, you'll need as much as you can. This is modern NBA where everything can and must be able to switch.
