    Yes, can play 4-5, maybe even 3 depending on matchup.

    And Mobley can defend 1's and 2's better than many of the guards in NBA.

    No one is claiming he can lock down all 5 positions defensively.

    Jaygup does not seem much shorter than Thriller.

    Hopefully both around 6'5 barefoot, +/-.

    I thought it was Jalen Green and Jasean Tate fusing into 1

    Rockets are negotiating the Garuba buyout.

    So I doubt he actually plays Sunday

    Cade and Jalen both measured officially at 6’6?

    Trey Phill's looks athletic. Dunks a lot for 6'2"-ish

    LOL - All the guys insisting Green is 6'3 or 6'4 are crazy.

    I also like Jalen Tate

    I thought Rockets were just doing a favor for his brother, but he can actually play
    and facilitate some. Rockets are building a modern day Phi-Slamma-Jamma

    Plays like a more skilled but skinny Danuel House on offense.

    And much scrappier on defense.

    Vipers are going to be nice.

    I've heard comparisons to thinner, taller Jae Sean Tate.....kinda seeing it

    I don't feel so bad for missing out on Scottie Lewis if this kid
    can play defense and up his 3-pt %

    That's the first thing I thought about when I saw the talent for the summer league (and some of the regular roster). These games are going to be played above the rim (hopefully). You know Green, Christopher, and maybe KMJ are going to be going for some highlights.

    All this time on scouting reports they'd say Cade was 6'8"...

    Damn...I'd feel slightly cheated if I were a Det fan right now.

    Yes, very athletic, everyone plays above the rim (except Jae Sean Tate), get out and run
    the fast break, can hit FT's (most of team).

    We might be going A.A.U. style, but let's see if Silas can turn it into smart basketball

    I hope we draft a real center next year. We can't be rolling out Wood and Sengun at the 4/5 if we're trying to win a chip, that duo won't be able to defend anyone.
