    Sorry I wasn’t clear. Chandler isn’t part of the rotation by any stretch. But I think the Rockets have him tagged as the emergency big. Bruno is probably tagged as a project unfortunately

    I agree with you on Tyson. Bruno is still a project. I’m glad he seems to be fit, but he is a softy mentally and physically. It’s up to him to earn a spot on the rotation.

    My gut feeling is that Bruno walks next season.

    I believe he will be out of the league for good, if he doesn’t show anything.

    It's nuts that this dude has been in the league since 2014, and is still only 24.

    Bruno (and Luc) should be the X Factor for this upcoming 2nd Training Camp.

    With the exception of Russell Westbrook, it’s no secret that the Rockets do not merit anyone who cannot shoot the three-ball at a contestant rate. They have led the league in three-point field goal attempts in four of the previous five seasons, shooting a combined 35% percent from behind the arc. For a team that possesses a pair of the league’s most proficient sharpshooters in the likes of Eric Gordon and Ben McLemore, it’s possible the most lethal three-point shooter is buried at the end of their bench.

    As a player who depends on his teammates, Caboclo shot 39.1% on triples in catch-and-shoot situations — making him a suitable fit playing alongside Westbrook and James Harden.

    Bruno will stick, and eventually be a solid rotation player.

    This is his best chance to make it in the NBA. Unlike with Hartenstein our team has a clear need, role, and mentors for someone like Bruno. He's long and athletic, hits threes, and blocks shots. He's a good fit on paper. He's got a long way to go, though. That's not something you want to say about someone who's been in the league for six years.

    Anthony Bennett is the One Player I had high hopes for, unfortunately a Knee Injury that required surgery ended his season in training camp.

    Anthony Bennett wouldve changed the Dynamic of the team. I hope he recovers and the Rockets give him a chance next season.

    I would be happily astonished If this guy earned minutes.

    Most likely he is out of the league in the near future. Wingspan means Jack and **** when you can’t play, and Jack left town.

    I really enjoyed watching those Bruno highlights from his time with the Griz. I hope they decide to keep Bruno around next season. It seems like he is everything that the Rockets need in a backup 5.

    Anthony Bennett Starting at Center with Bruno Caboclo backing him at Center.

    Anthony Bennett IQ is of a Starter in this 5 Out Style of Play.

    Clint Capela $84 million Contract, was painful. Along with his terrible plays on defense looking lost and not knowing how to switch, lazy footwork, slow footed laterally. I have never seen a player run fast as a Center up and down the court, but extremely slow in on lateral defense guarding point guards on defense.
