    i'll be the first to say, some white guys have it bad when it comes to the nfl and nba draft. This wiljter kid should have been a high end second round pick. chinanu needs to be cut

    i love this kids game, i think we can use him on the post as well, but we havent done it yet. Basically a much less expensive dmo. I mean dmo is much quicker but with the back surgery, and the constant injuries, their talent is really a wash, wiljter is also a better free throw shooter than dmo

    Kyle is a goofy runner.

    watch his high school vids, dude could really move. i'm not sure what happened but he really stiffened up since his high school days.

    He's got offensive talent and decent size no doubt belongs in the D-league until further notice. Seems Wiltjer is this pre-season's puppy dog.

    @heypartner thanks for creating that video. I haven't gotten a chance to see too much of the Rockets this preseason so I couldn't really formulate an opinion on KW. From those videos, he looks way more comfortable/confident/looser than he did in the Summer League. I initially didn't think he had a chance making this team, but looking how far he has come in terms of comfortability on the court, I think he seriously has a chance.

    I too think he's more comfortable looking in this system than SL D league style play. So you are saying the Harden-led, player mini-camps might have helped the newbies get comfortable. Some thought they are a waste

    Seller and Anderson do look noticeably more comfortable, but Kyle is foing well

    I remember watching this video in the offseason:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cjV7bXrAWV8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I was sad because if some undrafted scrub who I have never heard of can go 70/75 on 3s, then I just suck at basketball. Now, I realize he may possibly end up going down as one of the best shooting bigs in the NBA.

    It will surely be fun to see him in the Footlocker 3 Point Shootout during the ASG
