I can't imagine being Seth Curry. I mean, sure, it probably sucks to be the crappier brother/twin in the NBA - but guys like Robin Lopez and Marcus Morris are still in the NBA collecting those checks. These guys whose brothers are superstars and they're in the d league? Ouch.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume he was talking about Isaiah Canaan because there is no way that analysis could apply to Capela. Shooting jump shots is way down the list on things he is going to need to be able to do in order to get minutes in the NBA. Also, he is 6-7 from the field as I'm typing this. 17 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 4 blocks in 25 minutes. Nick Johnson and Isaiah Canaan having tough shooting games.
No, Dwight, D-Mo, T-Jo and Capela -- Captain Crunch, Captain Hook, Captain America and Captain Kangaroo. Oops, I almost forgot Captain McHale's (Navy) being in command.

Is that guy REALLY Swiss?? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cBg2w4qtu0c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Looks like he has already learned something from Dwight in his brief time up in Houston. Kobie would not approve.
The guy's physical skills for a big man are just so off the chart that it is very likely that he will a top defensive player pretty soon. He obviously can run, jump, and has better hands than Dwight for instance. Only perhaps lateral quickness is not very elite. He seems to be growing and some reports are that he now weighs 245 lbs. He certainly looks around 6'11" unless all those D League big guys are around 6'8 225. He seems to be physically equal to Nerlens Noel the number one pick I believe with Philadelphia. It is hard to think of a young big man who has clearly better defensive potential than Capela. Great pick by Morey and a long shot that seems to be working out. He is like DMo in my opinion only to be traded for a star.
Im very excited for Capela I hope we don't trade him unless it's for a significant upgrade. Dude looks like a stud.
I am with you. Rockets aren't winning **** this season... I would hate to lose young, cheap talent for a rental.
