Daniel Oturu has an opportunity to either sign with a team in Turkey or the Houston Rockets. I’m told to have at least inquired about a training camp deal. – via Apple Podcasts
Spoiler https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/oturuda01.html ROCKETS TURN ATTENTION TO CENTERS ROCKETS: Boban Marjanovic, Marquese Chriss, Willie Cauley-Stein, Bruno Fernando, ¿Daniel Oturu? As said above, I don’t think so. Got a full roster (and enough scrubs). Vipers?
Another 6'9 center (7'2 wingspan). Averaged more than 20/10 last season in college. Has 3ball potential. Played in Raptors system last season. Drafted by Timberwolves #33 overall in 2020. Very physical game but not elite athlete.
NBADRAFT.NET Outlook: Skill set is comparable to a poorman’s Lamarcus Aldridege … Figures to find a spot in the late first to early second round of the 2020 NBA draft … Projects as a solid NBA contributor with his ability to defend, rebound, and knock down face up shots as well as convert around the basket …
Someone needs to tell Stone and the Rockets that they don’t need to do something to do something. The Rockets have enough trash already and they aren’t going to win next year. They are fooling no one sifting through garbage.
I could not disagree more. When you are a bad team, you should be constantly flushing and re-flushing the bottom of the roster in search of diamonds. Similar posts were made about Beverley, Tate, Hayes, Covington, etc...
I'm actually great with the idea of leaving that backup spot for all of the G league starters to fight over. Guys like Chriss and WCS have a history having attitude problems. At least this guys likes basketball.
Sure why not, Garuba is getting squeezed. Maybe he will wake the inners as he watches someone else take what he thought was his. jabri and tari along with Sengun welcome others to beat up on, too.
