Christopher is a basketball player, Green is an athletic freak who happens to play basketball. I'll take the basketball player every time.
Sengun is a bit overhyped, Garuba is a bust, Green was drafted too high (should’ve been Mobley, but Rockets fell for hype machine), Christopher is legit. He has been a sound player from day one and plays even better in the clutch moments of a game. Hopefully between Sengun & Green we get another good player.
The efficiency and basketball IQ have been the biggest bright points for me. He looked a little overwhelmed by the speed of the game to start but has obviously found his pace. Think people on the board underrate his ceiling a bit, he’s got excellent size and athleticism for the PG position. If he’s able to work on his handling and playmaking he could be a star in time.
Truthfully, both are extremely athletic and excellent basketball players. JC is at this point physically stronger which allows him to finish better through contact. Both will have long careers in the Association.
True, but he wasn't drafted by the Rockets. Perhaps, Josh Christopher will be an NBA champion like them some day. Hopefully, as a Houston Rocket!
Christopher was the most criticized pick of our draft by the board. People really thought we only drafted him because of his friendship with Green. Glad he's starting to show his potential.
Definitely heard it here first. Nobody else on this board saw any potential in him. Nobody. Just you. =)
Playing Jaygup at PG in SL and preseason hampered his development imo. Let him learn SG first then slowly give him more PG responsibilities. Kid is a gamer and has very good IQ to go with his explosiveness.
EGo should be a starter until he is traded. So should Mathews. But if EGo traded, Jaygup certainly deserves a LOOK at starting 5.
Given the playing time garuba has gotten what would you have expected from him to not label him a bust? Not a right fit for the current team? Sure. But a bust? Already? Come on
