    Actually it's a serious question. I don't give a damn about how he is 20 years old. There are bunch of players in this league who is 20. He's D- defender on perimeter, maybe C in paint, every f* NBA players can beat him; can't move his ass on offense either. So the question is what are we or D'Antoni expecting on Hartenstein? He'll be 8pts4rbs player at best, I don't wanna see this nerd-face dude in game anymore

    I don’t get it either. Every time he plays he either gets a turn over, loses the ball, doesn’t dunk doesn’t score, get blowed by, commits silly fouls, idk why he is in. He seems so slow atm.

    I know he is young and it’s not his fault either. He wasn’t supposed to be the second center after Capela.

    I like some stuff but there are so many issues atm with him plus adding the rockets not playing well adds to it.

    look at the boxscore. We've played only 7 guys not named Isaiah for a reason.

    You think it would help to play only 7 guys. Should we play MCW or Chriss?

    He's big and he's German

    Any other question? That's like "Why was Thabeet , Stromile Swift, etc picked #2 overall???"

    It’s him or Chriss since Nene is out.

    Take your pick.

    Is this a serious thread? Hartenstein has consistently been playing with focus and energy on both ends of the floor. He has earned his minutes, and along with Gark Clark, has been a pleasant surprise this season.

    He screens very well and has a good overall understanding of the game, but the execution isn't there for more minutes. We need a warm body to relieve Capela.

    Do you want MCW to play center for us?

    He's bad, but we have no other bodies

    He looks like a military recruiting offices dream.
