    It's a shame you're missing a historic baseball season from another Houston team

    Nanu seems really ground bound to me..... not much of an athlete or he doesn't have any bounce..... just something off with his game.

    This is something I noticed a while back (and got in arguments over).

    Nanu has a nice offensive touch, his passing today was awesome.

    That being said he has a big flaw, he plays like his feet are stuck in the mud, which kills his rebounding and defensive at the NBA level. He will have to work really hard on his body/athleticism if he wants to stay in the league.

    Hartenstein didn't play much (fine alley oop earlier on) , was overshadowed by Joe (17 and 6)

    Veteran Chris Johnson with 12 & 8

    Troy Williams with 29 pts on 57% 3 pt shooting

    Isaiah Taylor with 7pts and 10 ast


    McCallum with 11, Onuaku with 2, Others: Cameron Oliver, Shawn Long

    Troy Williams is a bench player (could move up from end of bench) in the NBA, we knew that.

    Zhou, Taylor, Chris Johnson looked good or above average.

    HernanGomez on the Denver side had a neat game. Malik Beasley was shooting too much but good game.

    yeah, don't get me wrong, i still think he played a good game overall, and i agree with who said he was not looking a d-league guy out there (while KJ never looked that way), i just don't like some of those headless chicken plays.

    KJ never looked particularly interested in the game while he was on the court. If the ball found him on offense then he'd try some one on one move, but otherwise he never showed half the hustle that Troy did last night

    Yep, that's true, but that's not what i was talking about, some plays reminded me of KJ (but also Brewer tbh) cause he runned against a three man wall, which is not exactly a smart play let's say
