    I thought a 8th pick should be able to crack the rotation especially when your other PF/C's are having trouble defending DHo? Where the hell is he? Is he injured?

    The coaches would play him if they thought he was better than Armstrong or jeffries. Just like in New York he is a project. Projects only play in blowouts unless you are tanking.

    He's not ready yet which isn't exactly a bad thing. Brooks was in the same boat his rookie season too.

    Give him a full season and parts of the offseason to work with the Rockets staff and he should be good to go next year.

    He's in the same place he was in New York: sitting on the bench. But I have to admit that he does look very stylish sitting there.

    First off he's a project rookie. Secondly, he played last night in garbage time. THX INFO.

    This is why teams like NY suck forever. Cause they keep drafting "projects"

    didn't I see him play at the end of last night's game?

    perhaps it's because we now have a logjam of PF/C's now with JJ and Armstrong

    Ha...Logjamming with Karl Hungus

    Was at the game last Saturday night. I watched all of warm-ups and his mid-range jump shot looked poor. Was making 1/3 probably

    Sorry though, I have no pictures or video to prove this. Please don't get angry at me anyone...

    That reminds me of what Yoda once said:

    If you follow him on twitter, you'll see that his first practice was after Martin already played 2 games. Their taking him slow and teaching him the system, not just throwing him out there,

    Matt Bullard said last night that the Rockets coaches were impressed by what they say in Hill in practice. He said coaches felt he was better than they thought he was and could do some moves they didn't think he had.

    Whether that translates to playing time remains to be seen.

    Jordan sad. Jordan not allowed to practice until recently. Martin and Jeffries excluded Jordan from their car-shopping trip cuz he rookie. Jordan iso-ed by team.
