    Looks like Machado has been the busiest Rocket this off-season.

    IF he doesnt make our roster.

    His contract is valid to Rio Grande Valleys too.

    I really don't think he will have trouble making the roster. The kid has NBA PG talent.

    I definitely like his court vision and play making ability. Not sure he's a sure thing though.

    He looks like a Brazilian Tony Parker in these playground clips.

    Eh... let's see him in an NBA game first.
    He had a great summer league though. If Douglas doesn't pan out as a backup point, he'd be a good backup.

    Perhaps he will turn out to be Rafer Alston. It depends how you feel about Rafer Alston, though. I think he is more creative than Rafer.

    Then again Jonny Flynn looked like prime Baron Davis in college.

    Yep a terrible comparison. Machado doesn't even have half the athleticism and speed Tony Parker has anyway.

    Machado is going to be such a liability because of his height...he may get the ball moving on offense...but he will soon learn, big PG have the most success

    He carries the ball too much. Will be called for this at least four times during the season. :eek:

    signed Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul.
    (Both of whom Machado is taller then)

    Determination and talent have the most success. The question is, does Machado have the talent to play in the NBA? And if he does, does he have the determination to develop that talent further?
