    Wexler reported on Twitter the Rockets will be calling him up. Canaan averaged 21.7 pts and 9.2 assts per game in the D league (12 games).

    Is he the fish that will save Houston?

    He's the hero that the Rockets need but doesn't deserve.

    I'm excited. I never saw Canaan play in college, and since he was injured during Summer League, I didn't see him play then either. This'll be good for him and the Rockets, long-term.

    So, will he just be used as insurance or actually given playing time? McHale seemed pretty content with that highly effective no-PG lineup.

    Given the track record of how much DMo sees the court with Asik and Smith being out, im not optimistic.

    If Canaan explodes then the Rockets officially have a cursed position.

    A track-record of finding PG talent is a curse?

    Two different thread discussions for this so I copied/merged for the news thread.

    Canaan coming up looks just like insurance given the uncertainty with Jeremy Lin's injury, but he can certainly shoot the ball.

    A track record of backup PGs taking the starting spot seems somewhat of a curse.

    It is the natural move. The kid will get some exposure and find some flaws in this game to work on back in the D-League.

    I haven't followed him. My understanding is he's mostly a shooter / shoot-first PG? If so he should fit nicely next to Harden.
