    That would be welcome. His height is only 6' 5'' and a half, if I'm not mistaken. Better for the 2 spot, than the 3.

    So good a defender he stops himself.

    #NewMath: The more minimum vet players we get on roster, the higher the chance one of them outplays his contract.

    It is not the first time that Houston Rockets looks at a Real Madrid player. The Tejano franchise has already set its sights on Sergio Llull , current star of the Madrid squad and who closed the option to play in the NBA after the fervent interest of the whole Western conference. The General Manager of the Rockets, Darryl Morey, said he was hallucinating at the time with the offers rejected by '23' to continue in the white team and in Madrid they hope that history will repeat itself with Taylor.

    Dareroll stop messing around with spray paint and "do something" tm

    His dad played for the Rockets, so this one hits close to home.

    I don't know much about this guy but from watching the videos I like the hop in his game. The Rockets can use some additional athleticism. Guys that can drive or cut and finish with a slam. Adding more youth and athleticism to this team is a good thing in surrounding Harden and CP.

    Anyone who thinks Boogie can't comeback from his Achilles injury, just look at the hops on this guy. He tore his Achilles back in 2013 and he seems just fine.

    The definition of an under the radar signing...but, I like it a lot...WHILE NOT A PANACEA FOR ALL, he is the definition of a 3&D guy who is a veteran that knows the game...and can step right into a role.There were well publicized issues off the court in his NBA stint, and then off to Europe....very quickly. This is a cerebral player who can lock down 1's, 2's and some 3's. As mentioned, he's deadly from the corners, and should thrive on that end in the pick and roll with CP3 and Beard. BIG overlay here....Don't sleep on him. His athleticism is top drawer. JT has been content to play a role on a powerhouse over there, and can do what the Rockets will ask from him in his sleep. This is a classic DM move. Folks will be pleasantly surprised. He will compliment what we have very nicely. You're the man, Daryl. Keep em coming.

    With all these wings, and possibly a Melo signing, it looks like the Rockets are going full on small ball for most of the game after the first substitution.

    I could see Capela or Tucker at C with 4 wing players being our most used (non-starting lineup) lineup.

    Yeah but after that leg injury I gave up on him becoming anything close to what he was in college. Good to see he was able to continue defending at a high level.
