    The G League sucks, it is not as good as college at teaching the game, it is a me - first, you get yours I will get mine league.

    No matter what happens in the valley Garuba comes back to Silas. Silas does Silas things, not a good fit for young Garuba.

    Hard to argue with the production/efficiency but he has terrible body language. He's got a lot of tools to work with and it's an absolute shame the Rockets front office chose to logjam the roster with veterans who don't play well but this is his path so I hope he embraces it. G league is a route for playing time and he seemed to play well indeed but the demonstrative headshaking, punching the ball, always holding his hands up like "I'm open" c'mon man. Go dominate the G league then but don't show your teammates up and act pissed the whole time, even if your numbers were ok.

    6/6 FG 2/2 3p 14 points 8 boards and a block but 6 turnovers and -14 +/- ouch.

    Idk how to gauge what the plan is for this team right now but Vipers play until April. If that was me, I'd rather know I'm going to be there the rest of the year getting regular minutes as opposed to cleaning up the last 5 minutes of ass whoopings in the NBA.

    6 turnovers and 5 fouls in a g-league game shows how far away he is, the game is too fast for him, even in G-League

    Pretty much. He's got talent but he's more Spanoulis/D-Mo right now than Sengun/Green.

    That shows you level of coaching we have in Europe compared to puppets like Silas

    Not everyone is a star but he would be a great role player right now.

    I guess, 6 turnovers is significant for somebody literally waving his arms for the ball every trip down the court. Only player with a - in the +/-.

    Also, I'll take Trevelin Queen over House right fkn now.

    Thanks for this thread! Let's see how he develops. It's his first game in the G League, right? All our picks were based on what we project them to be tomorrow, not today. How determined are they to put their head down and focus on getting better? I mean, if he thought he's paying 3M Euro to start for the Rockets day 1, either Rockets management didn't set the right expectations or he was just mistaken. Development throughout the course of the whole year is what I'd be interested in
