    I bet you if the article was "Clint Capela could be the BUST of the draft", it would get 10 times the reponse and all sorts of vitriol for Morey to "take a worthless Euro instead of stud (insert college guy) because he's chasing the impossible dream of LeBron."

    I really like him! I get the same feeling, I got when we first drafted Parsons, and that is that this dude is a steal!

    Although I think we need to be patient with him, and have him slowly transition to the center spot.

    Right now Capela is Kelvin Cato..... at his peak, but the kid is young and still can grow his game. So depending on how strong his work ethic is and if he gets in the gym with Dream during the summers and starts working on footwork and getting a shot(beside dunking) and then he has to get his body ready for NBA Paint Wars. If he works hard at these things he could be the seal of the draft. If not well he is already Kelvin Cato. Only way he plays in Houston this season is if we don't get a top tier free agent.

    I'm waiting for the tweets of 1 or 2 players the rockets will sign to minimum deals, or and be invited to our summer league. He's definitely someone who should of been drafted.

    Rim protection, P&R D, rebounding, and athleticism. Give me that.

    Ummm, if Dwight Howard was drafted at 25 he would be the steal of that draft. What a stupid post. Asik can't catch but if you get an Asik type at 25, it is a steal.

    Look at the big picture.

    The article also says he COULD BE, it doesn't say HE IS.

    Deandre Jordan shot 43% from the FT line in college (still does, actually) and was drafted 35th. He turned out alright.

    Too tall to be your typical Morey big, not under 6-9.

    Well if Shaq was in a draft and he was drafted as 25th he would be a huge steal.
    I am not saying Capela is even close to shaq. just showing the Logic that Yao4REAL used is stupid (If Yao4REAL was being sarcastic I apologize there are so many styupid posts on this board it is getting increasingly difficult to see who is sarcastic and who is actually stupid)
