    Watching right now

    Badiane has definitely put on some muscle....

    Its interesting that the Opel Skyliners seem to have some of the same defensive principles that the Rockets have .....they like to push the ball hanlder out high on the pick n roll ...they like to trap baseline .....alot of similarities, although they play more of a true zone

    2 quick Qs:

    - how old/recent is the game?
    - how does he look (apart from the muscle gain ;))?

    My best guess is about June/July. Before he came to summer league.

    He was not the focal point of their offense, he was in the game for defense and rebounding. He had a couple of put-backs. The annoucers did talk about him some. Oddly, they mentioned how NBA GM's really had their eye on him because of his youth, length, and atleticism. Never mentioned the Rockets owning his rights.

    thanks for that. not surprised they didn't know about the Rox owning his rights as not many commentators do thorough research.

    so how was his rebounding & defense?
