    The game is starting to slow down for Zhou. By the way where is Bruno?

    He is gettting smoother and looks to be filling out some. He will be better than Hartenstein.

    From the clip, he has court awareness and can pass the ball. At least in the G league. If he can block shots without fouling in the big league then he could fine some type of role.

    He's ready for the rotation. They are holding him back until some other things happen.

    Speed has to be very different between Gleague and NBA. Chinese Cheese looks good here and lost on our real games. But I have high hopes for him!

    13 points on 11 shots to go with 9 rebounds and 4 blocks.



    On the season, he's at 12.3ppg (50% from the field and 37.5% from 3pt range) with 9.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in almost 30 minutes.

    Well he is still too raw anyway at least he gets exp in DLeague.

    Maybe we will see him after the ASB.

    starting to dominate in the G League. This seems to be a necessary sign that the player probably has real NBA potential.

    Still a chance we Rockets fans will have some more major luck, which is still often necessary to build a real champion.

    I think he lost his spot to Hartenstein because he's still a bit timid. Hartenstein is scrappy as hell, very active, jumps for every rebound, loose ball etc.

    I wonder about this glynch. Sometimes it seems like NBA role players look like excellent role players in the G League rather than stars. It's always shocking to see which G League players are tearing it up, and then watching their clips only to see all the things they would never be able to do in the NBA.

    On Zhou, his 3pt release looks DRAMATICALLY quicker while his percentages are up. He also looks to have worked on his core to the point where he is visibly more explosive than he was in the G League last season. Of course in Zhou's case, that doesn't mean he's explosive, it just means he is getting to the minimum explosiveness required to survive in the NBA.

    At the moment Hartenstein has earned his minutes. It would be good to see Qi getting a shot at those minutes if the opportunity arises.
