    I'm so confused. Is Knight a great player, or is he complete trash?

    He is a young, talented player with a lot of potential. That can go in either direction. Being on bad teams with poor coaching didn't help him any.

    I don't know any millennials who actually "use" facebook anymore. It's all old people that are super active on it. I just uninstalled it from my phone because I never ever post to it.

    He isn't a bad guy, so best wishes to him, on the Rockets or on another team.

    Kid is an amazing scorer (albeit shitty defender) with a good shot from deep. Why shouldn't folks be excited?

    Huge. We still need a wing that we can slot in the starting lineup, and unfortunately the only way to achieve this may be to include Knight. Having said that, I’m excited to see him on the court. No expectations but goodness he has to be better than the reserves we are currently running out there.

    Knight should help the Rockets just by being better than MCW. When it comes to depth, sometimes fans get too worried about a player being good or not good vs a player just being adequate enough to not screw things up.

    MCW is a guy who comes on and his presence can screw things up, Knigth just needs to be adequate and he's an improvement.

    Rockets will restrict his shooting areas, and historically he can hit the 3PT shot 36% and shoots a good enough 57% at the rim, while for his career 28% of his FGA were at the rim.

    If moving forward he can learn to be efficient like Jamal Crawford did at 29 and Lou Williams didn't really settle into until about 26, that should help him.

    The cavalry was all the injured players returning, not mid-season acquisitions.
