Can D-Mo be that Stretch 4 we're looking for?

    I feel he has the jumper to do it, but can he extend out to 3 point land and do it consistently? Would be tantalizing to have 2 7 footers starting one who can shoot and one who is dwight.

    What do you guys feel about the prospects of D-Mo doing what we want Ryan Anderson to do?

    He is not there yet. What are we talking about? 30+ minutes a game? Nah, but I do think he can play some spot minutes to stretch. Partly for that reason, I would like us to take a chance on JSmoove, knowing that a Euro Ryan Anderson on the bench that is not a bad choice.

    I think D-Mo is gonna impress in his sophomore season. I could see it happening.

    I'm not going to bash you like I think others will. I don't see why dmo can't do similar things to Anderson. I think asik is much more valuable than Anderson.

    No. He missed a ton of open 3s. He is not really a stretch 4.

    If he can improve...then yeah sure. But for now I'd rather have a for sure thing now that we have Howard and harden

    He was never really meant to be a stretch 4... we just tried to force him to do it last year. Maybe during the off season he will improve it?

    He does stretch right before the games.

    I think morey is gonna try for a proven player at the 4. Now that we have Dwight don't think there is a sense to bank on potential. So, no

    He should never shoot any 3 pointers.

    I think between him and Jones, likely one of them can develop enough range to stretch the floor. But then I'm generally more optimistic of our youngsters than most fans. So no, I am not in favor of a hypothetical Asik for Anderson trade.

    Now, if Love or Aldridge are in play...

    Everybody seems to like to dog on Dmo.

    I think Dmo will be a very good NBA player and I hope he stays on the Rockets. He is a post up player with a decent shot and I think that he can improve his 3 point shooting. I doubt he will shoot a well as Anderson but he can develop into being our stretch 4, he already has a great post up game and if he is gaining strength as reported I look forward to a good year from him. I really think that we need to give Dmo a chance you can't just give the guy one year and say that's his ceiling. Dmo has very good and unique skills and hope he is our backup 4 this year and develops into a starter.

    I think Jones is more ready than D-Mo.
