    As a German i would be happy to have another German playing in the NBA but as a fan of the Rockets i would not be happy.

    Kinda odd. Maybe the Rockets are in the mix telling him to hold off on signing with another team?

    Ohlbrecht signing with the Rockets is making the rounds in Germany. No idea if it's true. Kinda contradicts with Feigen's tweet. We'll see, I guess.

    I know all the Bayern Munich basketball players personally. Nice guys. They love to party.

    Good to see more Germans here!

    Shows exactly how a farm system d-league can work. And how players NOT drafted or in contract with the Rockets big club, they still have an inside track to possibly get signed up by the Rockets later.

    Seemingly minor d-league might can have resulting effects toward the Rockets later, like for Hassan Whiteside and Andrew Goudelock.

    All in all, like it hasnt been apparent already, just saying how it is a good idea to have a Rio Grande forum to follow the developments. I didnt care one darn about Tim Ohlbrecht until this forum and Youtube allowed more coverage. Hopefully he can pan out into a useful player.
