    Another little brother of a 2012 FA point guard added to summer league roster? John Lucas III filled in nicely for a winning team last season, he is an ex-Rocket, a local guy, should come at a reasonable price and even played for Yao Ming's Shanghai Sharks. He's checking all of the boxes of a Houston Rockets target.

    The Rockets are currently at have 3 "inferior basketball brothers" on their summer league roster: Zoran Dragic, Jai Lucas and Marcus Morris.

    Manny Harris has some game. He's undisciplined but has some serious scoring skills.

    I think they may just keep Zoran. They said they had interest in Zoran independent of Goran's status. He is a decent player in Europe and the Rockets may actually have some SG/SF minutes available with Lee not coming back and Martin being shopped.

    Lol Jai Lucas could barely get time at Texas. I'd rather have Jcovan Brown.

    What an offseason

    Dude, the Rockets should call PJ Tucker. That dude is one HOSS of a Point Forward.
