    talent don't matter if you're sitting on the bench.

    Giannis was a toothpick but had the frame to pack on pounds, if you look at Jabari he is the same.

    Wemby is from the Mobley/Chet family tree he prob gonna be that thin for his entire career and if people force him to gain lots of weight he gonna get injured even faster. It was just an exhibition game so nobody was really trying hard on defense but if it was a real game and Wemby was going off like that some douche is gonna undercut him or "accidentally" bump him off while he is in mid air in the NBA. Look at Ivey, he had 1 good SL game and somebody gave him his first major injury.

    And nobody else's talent will matter if he proves to be durable.

    The Victor kid is amazing- however what does history tell us about these thin rail bodies over 7’1-7’5. Yao had feet like Frankenstein and put on lower body muscle and still retired very early.

    Also he won't be durable cuz he already had several injuries prior to getting to the NBA.

    This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Rockets don't screw this one up.

    Hypothetically speaking let's say Green shows flashes of star caliber player and averages 25 a game on an efficient shooting percentage and the Rockets have the 3-5 overall pick this year, would you trade Green, 1st round pick, and Nets 1st round pick for the 1st overall? Would whichever team that has the pick even be interested in this package?

    Of course, the team that nabs Jalen Green and Jabari Smith wants to tank more, they only know success.

    I wonder what they'd think If we had ended up with Jalen Suggs and Johnny Davis. :D

    Adam Silver has this gift of saying garbage-nobody-will-believe things with a straight face.

    I would trade all picks and any player on our team to move up from 2 to 1. Lol.
    He’s going to be pretty unstoppable once he has nba coaching and training.
