    So that's why we cleared all that cap space, to sign Gerald F'ing Green.

    Only 215 but pretty strong for his size, better post defender than perimeter defender.

    I hope for his sake that hes still growing, that 6'7 wingspan is going to be tough sledding.

    Good thing he jumps like a kangaroo, but has to load up to do it.

    He’s not even close to ready for the NBA, but for a late 2nd round pick what more can you ask for? He’s a good young athletic prospect. Nothing wrong with that.

    Rockets continue tradition of collecting PF under 6'9.

    6'4 Jaesean Tate
    6'6 KJ Martin

    :rolleyes:

    Stromile Swift and Kenyon Martin were very similar players, size and explosive athleticism.

    Except Martin played angry and Stromile ... was Stromile.

    But imagine how good he would have been if he played with Harden, or with Russ in transition. He was crazy athlete, better than Clint.

    I blame JVG for not figuring a way to make him work with Yao. They could have been so good together.

    He profiles as a perfect small-ball 4, but he’s years from being NBA ready (seemingly). Who’s knows...

    I don't know about him making it - he could end up another Gary Payton II or KJ McDaniels type, but he's only 19 and never played in college. He came from a prestigious high school program in IMG, though, for whatever that's worth.

    I watched him in an interview I think with his dad a while back and he seemed like all the mean and nasty drained out of his dad. Kid seemed nice as hell. lol. I couldn't find that interview, but here's an interview he had with the Hornets pre-draft :
