    The guy is slow unathletic and has zero talent. Every game consists of him sluggishly standing around and fouling everyone because everyone blows past him. He has no offensive game whatsoever and he can't rebound over anyone. Nobody has pissed me off this much in a Rockets uniform since Brad Miller.

    5 star thread OP. Cole Aldrich is pure garbage. I can't believe that Mchale plays him.

    I think Aldrich my be one of the best back up centers we have had in years. I guarantee, given playing time and he gets his grove back, he will average at least 10 points and 10 rebounds a game.. At LEAST

    "Hey, I'm just doing what my employer tells me to do!"

    - Kevin McHale, circa mid-February 2013

    Too much hate for a back up center that won't be here much longer.

    Don't know what McHale sees in him. Greg Smith hasn't played great lately, but I'd rather have him on the floor.

    This is not hyperbole. I would literally rather have Kwame Brown as a backup than this trash.

    Cole Aldrich is not that bad of a player for what he is.

    Most players from KU are pretty useless in the NBA.

    Tell them I said "Hi!" also, but Aldrich is by far better than them. He is 3rd to Olajuwon and Ming.
