    Has Bennett improved on defense? Used to play with poor effort and certainly could not switch everything.

    Not all 6'8 centers are plug and play.

    You're right. He looked like a big fast food eater.

    Feel bad for him. I don’t think he has a chance...

    He is the worst. Waste of a roster spot.

    He's reaching Kwame levels of clumsy. I want him to succeed in the NBA but he's been in the league for 5 years now.

    He needs more G League. He’s not ready for big boy league yet

    Should have kept Hartenstein over him for sure.

    Yeah I like Bruno, but I need him to master his lane as as a role player.

    Focus on mastering defense, blocking shots, rebounds and hitting open threes.

    Don't worry about doing everything and bringing the ball up the floor or playmaking.

    Don't try to be Christian Wood or anyone else, be the best Bruno.

    It's just criminal that Caboclo and Clemens are Rockets and Hartenstein and Green are not. Cutting Hartenstein last year may be the dumbest move the Rockets have made in the past 10 years... it was a time when literally a warm body over 6'-8" could have been incredibly helpful. So far, Caboclo hasn't even shown he qualifies as a warm body.

    Are these minutes for Caboclo Steven Silas's method of telling Stone Caboclo has to go?

    He's 2 years away from being 2 years away...from playing in China.

    Don't feel bad. We're not a charity. They make it pr they don't. I am hoping okc waives Ariza and we can pick him up or trade for him.

    Cut him, Brown, and bring in Gerald and a backup C like Dedmon or Taj.

    We can acquire new players to join and cut some non useful players now. Once give the time for the bench to play, Houston loses 10 points immediately. Bring Gernald Green and some good players

    He never will be. You can't teach IQ. You have it or you don't. Nobody can go from mental midget to NBA player regardless of how many years it takes.
