How bout 7 footer Connor Williams? I can already hear it: "Victor Wembanyama drove against the big man and the big man held his ground."

Wow! Doesn't miss many meals, huh? Must be on the same diet as Big Baby Glen Davis. He's young. He has time to sculpt his body. But right now? No!

I really think houston made a mistake with jalen green, i mean he is supposed to be a star, he is still jacking up shots at a low fg%. If he doesnt improve its a bust at #2. Houston has green, porter, sengun and theyre this bad. I really thought green would be like devin booker. He has flashes of kobe and booker in him.

Sengun on the other hand, could be 70% of jokic if he continues like this, and be a star. If they get victor and trades green, they could be very good for years to come with that youth.

Need the right coach, too. Don't think Silas is the answer. They have some good pieces, though.

Rockets play better when Green and Porter are out. Guys like Matthews, Garuba, Eason get more minutes and they're all taller so that means they get more length on the court.

It would be beneficial to send both to the G League and see if they can play winning basketball. Their win % on games played is atrocious but without them, the Rockets win % improves.

Just a trip to liposuction center will do the trick.

Theyre both throwing up very good numbers, but its just empty stats. If it continues for another 2 years and they get older, they will get benched and will not get that big contract. If green cant improve on his fg%, he will just be like ben simmons or carter Williams who could never improve their 3 point shot, and fizzle out of rotation. All that hype and promise of a good player will get shattered when they are cant improve

Or just don't shoot much 3 point shot Jalen's FG% would drastically improve if you take out say half of his 3 attempts. I always coach shooters that you are only allowed 3 misses on 3pt attempts per game. That results to them doing the take with high chance of make. And it also does not burn the team with bad shooting. It is also very beneficial to the player because he/she wisens up on shot selection and vision for passing when defense collapsoes. And lastly, it results to a higher FG% for the players.
