His a nice pick-up in the draft by Rockets. But we need to see what he can do tomorrow against Grizzlies. It's still early but he shows involvement with the team in Defense.
If it works I have no problem with who belongs playing what positions. I am all for experimenting to get the best possible combinations on the floor. Regardless of who plays what position traditionally.
Liked the Bonner-Parsons matchup for the Rockets tonight; Parsons played the perfect style of defense by forcing Bonner to put it on the floor, and bad things for the Spurs ensued. It kind of felt to me that McHale's got a 9.5 man rotation, and is holding auditions for that last half spot between Morris and Parsons; they're both 3/4 tweeners that are holding down the fort until Patterson's ankle heals. At some point I'd imagine that Jordan Hill drops out of the rotation, and one of Parsons/Morris gets sent down to the D-League. Definitely seemed like McHale only wanted one of Thabeet/Morris/Parsons on the floor at a time until the game was out of hand.
Yeah, i haven't heard any official reports on this, but i'm pretty sure he bulked up this summer to get ready for the NBA. Smart move, a lot of guys would leave that for year 2 or 3.
He didn't look so bad out there, great defensive, good rebounding, good size. His shooting is still questionable. He looked better than Bud and T-Will in that last game.
Budinger better toughen up & quick! The Law firm of Parsons & Morris are about to make a SERIOUS push for PT at SF. Budinger doesn't give you much of anything if he's not scoring. More disturbing he's not even aggressive & defense is out of the question. Bud better produce or he may fall out of the rotation all together.
Twill isn't going anywhere . He played well last night even though the boxscore didn't reflect it. He penetrated and made some great passes. Players that can play all 3 wing positions aren't that easy to find
Too me he dominated the ball a little too much and had some bad turnovers, but he did flash his great court vision.
yeah really like his D and rebounding, wasn't expecting that from him. Also, the game seems very fluent for him. Morris is way too skittish out there, very hesitant.
Yeah, but on one very nice pass out to Lee in the corner, he starts showboating for the camera and running back down the court, instead of turning to see if there would be an offensive rebound, which there was as Lee missed it. Very frustrating, such a "ME" over team move. DD
I didn't remember T-Will making any great passes. He would hold the ball. Try to do something. Get no where. Pass to the corner to a teammate who wasn't completely open.
He did seem very full of himself when he didn't really do anything on repeated occassions. I was extremely unwhelmed and I hope he was just having a bad day or something. Let's hope he has a great game tonight.
I also noticed that his passes were not on target- they were often low or to the side of the intended target. As a result, the player receiving the ball couldn't shoot right away, and the defense had time to recover.
