    I am telling you the Rockets need to keep this guy on the bench. This kid just keeps getting better and I don't know what his ceiling is. I don't want him to play his way out of a Rockets uniform. He is restricted free agent so we have the upper hand, unless... he improves so much before the end of the season that someone would offer him more the the MLE. I would say right he is already going to get at least half the MLE and if he keeps improving some stupid team under the cap is going to offer him 6-7 mil a year. That's not a lot of money for a young promising athletic pf. That would be the end of it for us. So I vote for limited minutes for Landry and only when absolutely necessary to secure a win.

    Did he improve his vertical 4' or 6"? Either way it's 40' or 42" vertical. Lemme tell you, that's unheard of for a Power Forward. That's what a guard does.

    Dude is amazing. He's got such quick hands and feet. Amazing leaping ability. A good midrange shot and a developing long range shot. Sky's the limit for this guy.

    I noticed without Landry in there we lost a lot of points against the Wizards. Put Landry back in and the pt spread has gone way back up again. Landry energizes this team and he's so quick you can't stop him. Can't block him out and he'll rip the ball out of the offensive players hands.

    He is the 4 we have been waiting for.
    He makes up for everything Yao is not and then some.
    1st priority of the offseason should be lock up Landry.

    I would not be upset if we gave him the majority of the MLE if we could lock him up for 5 years

    Green looked like Dr. J on that dunk. Well good for us!

    Landry - This is what happens when you draft the most athletic in the draft. Combine that with statistical evaulation and you got a winner.

    Congrats Morey! :)

    Our doctors need to make sure that Landry will be injured before the last game of the season ....

    I hope he doesn't play so well that he prices him out of the rocket's price range.

    Landry is explosive, he has an incredible vertical for his size, and he has quick hands: this is a killer combination of skills. Plus, he has a solid mid-range game. I love this kid. Did you hear him yelling "great call, that was a great call!" He excites the crowd, not many players do that.

    I really worried the more playing time he gets the more expensive he'll be next year

    Can't be helped if you're making a run to the playoffs. Oh well, perhaps we are seeing the initial baby steps of an All Star.

    I think he's sort of what we hoped Stromile Swift would be, except he has a brain.
