Zhou Qi needs to send the league a message.

Yes he will be the next Abdul Jabbar/Akem/Shaq Fu.

 

This dude should not be taking up a roster spot. No way he's cracking rotation anytime in the near future. Our rotation of bigmen hasn't got it done this year

 

With
Time
He can be pretty good
But he just too skinny for center spot but his stretch o is for real.

He can shoot. Just need confidence when he is here in the big league.

 

LOL at the too skinny crew.

 

This guy is the best fit in between Tucker and Luc with the backup unit.

Paul/Harden
Gordon
LMM
Qi
Tucker

 

part of what we did with Yao...was we tried changing Yao's body type. With Zhou we should really help him get stronger without losing his quickness...I think he would be well served remaining lean. Think much of Yao's injuries were a result of us trying to make him heavier than he needed to be. Zhou can be a terrific stretch four. Cant teach height and the dude can shoot.

 

To me, the only thing that's stopping Zhou Qi from playing meaningful minutes is his lack of mental toughness. He is completely timid and uncomfortable on the court. As others observed, he literally doesn't take a single shot during warm-up. If he drops that damn ballboy mentality and plays with aggression - I'm talking screen setting, rolling to the basket, going after offensive rebounds, the Rockets could use 10 minutes from him with the second unit.

 

Qi needs to go to g-league to grow muscle and get play time. He's wasting his time on the rockets.

 

Zhou Qi needs to change his diet to a rotation of: McDonalds, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, and KFC

 

he does go to the g-league for a game or two, pretty sure it's tough to get any continuity going in either league switching back and forth. Probably should be down there full-time.

 

He will get to playing the 5.

 

They have to call him back up right? Black and Nene out so I really think he could at least be an ok rim defender against Suns. Let's see what he can do Friday.

 

If he can't do well against the Suns, he has no hope in this league.

 

They have quietly gotten better, there are 9 worse teams than them just looking at current standings.

 

Exactly right.

Time while with Rockets projects to class time with Lucas/Rogers (developmental coaching).

RGV Vipers play the Rockets style. So when the Vipers play Qi at the 5.....they are trying to develop a player
at that position. Not that he couldn’t log time at PF in the future.

Always nice to have leverage vs RFA like Capela if Capela wants to accept an outrageous contract like
Parsons signed (with terrible trade kicker). Nice having DeAndre Jordan willing to give Houston a hometown
discount if Capela leaves too.

 

so i assume joe cheese will send the league a message via twitter? or a handwritten letter?

 

He's sending a message to he D League with his 12 points a game. His FG percentage is up and so is his 3 pointers, however his free throw shooting is Shaq like at 46%.

 

To send the message, Joe is digging a hole to the Staples locker room... from China.

 

Can Qi at least knock on the opponents locker room door and be a diversion?

So Capela doesn’t have to
