    That was nice. Thanks, rockets1995. Ennis looked damn good on defense. Very quick, nice lateral movement, clearly a smart defender. He would be nice addition, at least on defense. Excellent at the line with an 81% career average. Decent from downtown. Just under 36% for his career. He would get terrific looks with the Rockets. Ennis looks like a good target, in my opinion. Coming off a 2 year deal for $3 million per.

    100 percent. Our offense is created by CP3/James/Gordon and Capela.

    All I want of our forwards is PLAYOFF NASTINESS...

    Trying to defend Harden without switching is very ugly.

    Ennis did some good things here, but didn’t stop at point of attack the way a Roberson does.

    We would be switching though, not conventional PnR def Iike was seen.

    Agree. He would look nice in our defense, though, and Harden would likely enjoy playing with him instead of against him.

    he may not be fast, but he is not overrated, if you watched our playoff games, most of the time, he is anchoring our defense.

    Where are we on this front?

    The Dunc’d On guys seemed to think this would be our best option.

    Is Ennis a starter or is he better off in the Luc role coming off bench?

    Love this guy, athletic, active, plus I've seen him regularly in the Australian NBL. But perhaps James Nunnally is better, as Ennis can't shoot the 3 well so he'd be a liability, and in all likelihood buried to the bench in crucial moments of the game. Might as well give Vince Edwards a go.

    Vince Edwards is a poor defender. He needs to play in the G-League to gain confidence.

    Bench role in my opinion. He’s 28 and has never really been relied upon as a starter (except in a pinch) or to play heavy minutes. I like him though.
