    he looked good, but he hasnt seen "real" nba competition yet. Either way, i liked his aggressiveness today. Hope he can keep it up

    Love his straightforwardness and attitude. I have been following this guy since 2010 hoping that the Rockets would have the opportunity to draft him. I was ecstatic when the Rockets chose him in 2011 because I felt he could be really special. Definitely my favorite Rocket right now! Looking forward to seeing more of Dunkin' Donuts!!!!

    I dont know how he got the soft label

    His demeanor is similar to Marc Gasol, rather than Pau, Bosh or Barngani

    His facial mannerisms and the way he answers questions reminds me of Kobe.

    This guy has a real and awesome attitude. I hope his game translates over to the regular season like it did today. If it does and the thought of parring him up with Dwight, that would be amazing.

    Clutchfans, leave the man's girlfriend alone. Go get your own!

    Well he definitely has more experience than the average rookie. Plus he was playing pros, veterans in his euro league. So to ask the difference of physicality from a pro euro league to a nba summer league is sort of silly.

    He has added a lot of weight and muscle, so he is probably tougher now

    He sounds like all my Central/Eastern European friends. Very matter of fact and cynical.

    He needs time and a little more strength/weight. But super impressed by him today. He also generated free throws (albeit struggled there). He got beat a few times on defense, but also had some very solid defensive possessions. He caused at least 2 turnovers that I can remember. His outside shot will come and go, but certainly was on tonight.
