    I would expect him to continue to get better for 6-7 years as that is when most players enter their prime.

    Lucas is a little devil but he meant well.

    Green has had to learn from John Wall, Christian Wood, and Kevin Porter Jr.

    Enough said.

    when John Wall is the best of the group that should tell you something. Funny how the John Wall interview got backlash from this board. What he said about how the stuff you get away with on this team wouldn't fly anywhere else aged perfectly and was 100% true

    Let that sink in folks

    Considering he had a VORP of 0.0 last year at age 20, I'd say it's a good bet.

    Lowe's article is pretty damning on the Rockets these past few years. I know they were tanking and all that but you'd think Stone/Silas could at least fix some of the issues instead of having all the youngsters playing like it's AAU or something.

    If he's saying stuff like that it's obvious they are close and have good rapport with each other. I'm having a feeling Lucas had a much more pleasant experience training Green than KPJ.

    I think Lucas explicitly stated before that with KPJ he had to be careful with how he pushed him. He obviously didn't have that restraint with Green because he knew Green was stable and could handle it.

    Big upgrade with Fred, Dillon, and Uncle Jeff. They'll get these younglings in line, and have them playing the right way.

    I am hoping DD won't root for our good players. Let him put the curse on the guys we want off the team. :D
