    And let the speculation begin....

    Is Doc Rocket implying that all 5 of those guys will be in a Rockets uniform next season?

    Certainly he's joking. They will have to fight for there spots. Hopefully Baxter can be a great third option at the PF. And the same goes for Luther at the point.

    Does anyone have stats on our summer league? I haven't really check the Rox website, maybe it's there.

    Always great to have a Doc sighting. (Shame the Rox don't have a beat writer to keep us up on the latest, 'cause if the major local daily had one we'd certainly hear [something, anything] form him, at least occasionally...)

    they won't all be on the team next year. head will, hopefully baxter too.


    my guess is that Doc meant that the 2006 Houston Rockets will dominate like the summer team did.

    I heard from radio 610 that with his reach he just short of Yao Ming's reach. So he's got a heck of a wing span.

    Hopefully he can jump like swift.

    That guy is DION Glover and the other Guy (White guy) is Joe Crispin. I have seen them before and know their faces. Sorry the hoopsworld thing didnt list them. Here Check out the actual Summer League Game one Box Score http://www.nba.com/media/timberwolves/jul15_ind-hou.pdf ;)

    Ahh, very good. I know summer league doesn't mean much, but it's pretty cool that the Rox kicked butt. It could mean that we'll have a pretty decent bench. Who knows, we'll see.
