    His contract should be interesting. If he expected to go in the middle of the first round I could see him signing a contract very similar to KJ's. We can't give him any more than the min without having to dip into the MLE, which we need for Llull/KJ.

    He plays like he's jumping off a trampoline...

    So which one of the young big men are getting traded...?

    You has no reason position. Not a PG and too short for a SG. Harrell is a much better prospect

    This was him about half a year ago.

    One can certainly see why he was a projected lottery pick in 2014. Ridiculous athleticism, runs the floor extremely well, has length and strength.

    Looks he has a functional shooting stroke as well. He improved his FT% quite significantly, and he seems to have a very high motor. I think it's quite feasible for him to shoot 70% coming into the NBA with the right training.

    He was BPA and is a very good player, not 100% certain on fits. His main role I could see early on would probably be a small ball 5. Having him on the floor with Dwight/Capella will clog the paint up too much.

    Oh! There he is! I got lost in the booty in that pic.

    Can't wait to hear Calvin say "Montrezl my Fezzl!" That translates to Montrezl my fellow a throw back to Othella my Fella. Did I lose ya...

    I'm going to take it as you've never seen Montrezl actually play to compare him to Joey Dorsey...

    Green didn't enter the league with much of a shot at all. That's something he developed over the last year or so.

    How are his hands on the pnr? Capela excels at this for example...

    Dorsey can't dream of being the open court player and finisher that Harrell is. This guy is going to be so fun to watch on the open court.

    TJones is someone who I do respect. I enjoy his slithery offensive game when it's on, but I think Harrell has a higher upside on this Rockets team.

    So what are the cap implications of drafting Montrezl Harrell?

    He can be our Draumond Green if coached properly. Similar physical tools

    I think he has that blue chip in him and no nonsense guy with some toughness

    Dat ass.

    I like the pick though, hopefully he can add some toughness, we lack that at the PF spot.
