    Did he really get 20points (21) off the bench today, and doesn't have his own thread.

    Surely his block on Gobert deserved it's own thread?



    The kid has game - definitely a future piece to keep around and watch develop.

    At what point do we think he demands out so he can go play for a cohesive franchise?

    Not until he is at least 21. He deserves a better franchise after that knee to the groin of Gobert. I'm sure Mad Max enjoyed that one.

    He is going to be a stud, just needs to work on his ball handling and shooting.

    Nobody knows Scola's opinion of him?

    He plays bigger than his height. Tate too. Rockets need more of that if they're gonna feature minimal height.

    the first three games after the all star break KJ Martin is averaging 16 and 7. Not bad at all. Only 20 years old!!

    I can’t believe how much better he is than I anticipated. I knew he was athletic, but to be completely honest, he’s already had a better NBA career than I thought he would probably have. He’s far more polished than I thought he would be at this age, or at any age if I’m being completely honest. The kid seems legit!

    I thought this one on Tacko was even more impressive, whether or not it was before the shot clock expired

    Gotta say Kmart is a pleasant surprise. Dude is only 20 and didnt even go to college, he spent the year in prep school and basically went uo against AAU comp.

    Stone did a great job this season giving the Rox 3 building blocks in Wood, Kmart and Porter Jr. 3 pieces all without using a big pick or asset in exchange. Amazing work.

    It seems hardly fair that he can go up and then just float for a while

    I would put KMart back a step at the moment. On par with Tate as potentially a nice role player. Perhaps he can go another step? Certainly a talent.

    Really hope he is still growing, 2 more inches of height would be great for him.

    Can't wait for a 20-20 game from Capela on Tuesday, but at least KJ Martin should block Capela once, right? Slightly joking
