    He certainly sees the floor well.

    Lets hope this gets him motivated and on track. There is still a long way to go though.

    Terrance jones has all the physical tools. Looking forward to seeing him in the future.

    Well again, what do you expect to hear out of the mouth of a person with mental issues.

    And his game does need work but I would take him on the big boy team right now as a backup for Patterson over Morris solely on his rebounding, passing, and dribbling skills...

    What good things can you say about Morris...???

    He kinda traveled a little there, picked up both feet.

    Anyway, good that he's showing promise. Maybe we can get something good for him in a trade after all.

    No he didn't. He dribbled.

    Morris shoots 39% from three point range. He can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket. He can create his own shot. He also does a number of things poorly, but this is his first year to be a rotation player and I think he could possibly improve in the coming years.

    I'm not saying I'm real excited about the Rockets keeping Morris, but I think he will be part of some teams rotation.

    did Royce play primarily on the perimeter or was he playing down low? I just saw some posts about him airing a 3 and i see the gif of him passing on the perimeter

    Well he moved his left leg and then dribbled and then moved his right leg. Is that still considered traveling since he technically picked up his dribble after moving his left leg?

    Little bit of both. Majority of the time he was on the perimeter though.

    Much appreciated and good to know. They just showed some highlights of him on NBA TV. He definitely has some good playmaking skills for a big man

    Back from the Vipers game. Royce played well for not having played in a long while. The game was great to watch with all the scoring going on. I was able to get Royce to sign my poster and got David Nuno to sign it also. I was able ask Greg Smith if he going back to Rockets and he told me he was after the All Star Break.

    I will try and get some pics up by tomorrow if possible.

    Better watch out for that poster, in some areas of Houston I bet Royce's signature devalues your property.

    Royce primarily operated on the perimeter in isolation plays. He has the ability to really take his man off the dribble, but has not been able to finish the play once he does beat his man. He needs to grow in that aspect.
