    I disagree. Was it what I was expecting? No. Did I find some results I enjoyed? Absolutely.

    Both are meh, but young so early to tell.

    Young is really bad on defense and Covingtons shot is questionable. Both didn't show much in Orlando.

    I am leaning towards an Elton Brand move as well but then McHale might play him over the young guys even if undeserving. Morey might force McHale's hand by rolling with the young guys. I am definitely more intrigued to watch them grow than to watch the steady hand of Elton Brand but for insurance he could be a nice presence on the team.

    I really like BJ Young's upside. The former top 20 high school prospect could become a valuable asset in the future.

    Freshman season (when he was projected as a possible lottery pick)

    Sophomore season

    They could end up eventually being good, like PBev, Greg Smith... but they're still undrafted guys so I'm not holdin' my breath.

    they are young dudes picked up for pennies on the dollar. of course they aren't perfect. they have potential. they aren't supposed to be finished products.

    so basically BJ was highly dangerous when uncovered, but not so dangerous when wrapped up well.

    ^^^yes that was inspired by old school carl :grin:

    It's been too long since we've had a team this balanced.

    Do the Rockets see Young as a PG or SG?

    BJ Young's turnaround dribble move is almost dream-like, fast and effective. However, it looks like the ball never left his hand once he got it.
