    I'd call all the kids up and send Mase down.

    Rockets could use Spalding, KJ, BT in addition to Porter.

    These kids are double double machines.

    spalding and KmartinJr activity in the rim are so pleasant to see.. much better than Cousin in terms of rim protection and mobility in defense pair them with woods and Jsean damn defense would be nice... just wish coach silas see this and try it he has nothing to lose anyway and everything to gain!!

    condensed game, pretty much extended highlights.

    KJ Martin is a better rim protector than 99% of NBA centers, lol

    I mean we’re already losing game after game. Might as well let the young kids develop. I love the energy, size and rebounding/blocks that they bring.

    Man, looking at these highlights... how many blocks did KJ martin have? Looks like 10, lol

    I like Spalding too, he's good. How old is he?

    Porter, Thomas, Martin all look like NBA players to me.

    I'd keep Mase and send Kurucs.

    K-Mart mini looks good. Needs to develop a somewhat consistent shot.

    Hopefully porter jr can get his mental together because he’d be a rotation player on this team if not a starter and one of the better players. He’s easily better than mcclemore, better ball handler and playmaker than Gordon and he’d be better than this version of Olidipo we’ve been getting.

    Really mason Jones should be in the g league and porter should be getting nba minutes. But he’s gotta get his life together so he can develop his game against nba competition.

    Send them both.

    Mase needs playing time.

    But his lack of defense will not get him any with Rockets.

    And they all can play defense.

    Much better fits on Rockets than Mase.

    And BT, Spalding and KJ are all better rebounders than Mase, House, Sterling, Tucker and Kurucs.

    Would like to eventually see KJ Martin replace Tucker for defense. He still needs to develop his offense but considering Tucker isn’t giving much on either end of the floor these days why not throw this kid in there? His athleticism is off the charts.
