chinanu onuaku has been a total disappointment. Wish we could have kept Harrel or Wiltjer instead.

Notable dudes so far have been Troy and Taylor, followed by Hartenstein and Qi.
Will keep an eye on Cam Oliver and LJ Peak too.
Nanu had an alright game, just need to see more if he's gonna have an impact. Somebody will need to feel Harrell's role when Nene is resting and that needs to be him. Haven't seen a lot of him obviously, but I'm not sure if he has the type of athleticism and general energy as Harrell

His disposition is a alarm not his skill set. He looks lazy unmotivated and uninterested.

Troy Williams Deserves a Roster Spot on the Houston Rockets
One young player deserves a spot on the Houston Rockets next season.
Troy Williams has been given the chance to shine in the Summer League this year. Through two games, he has done just that. He is averaging 25 points per game on 51.7% shooting in his two games in Las Vegas.
Williams has shown that he is deserving of a roster spot on the actual Rockets team and should be signed. Let’s look at some reasons he needs to be apart of the team:
Improved Shooting
The main complaint about Troy Williams last season was his streaky shooting. One game he would be on fire from three, but most others he just had bad form and shooting. While his form is still similar, he is knocking down threes in these two games so far.
Williams went 4/7 from 3 in the first game and 3/8 in the second one. His shooting was a problem for Troy even in the D-League last year, so it is nice to see that he has been working hard to improve on that front.
Pure Athleticism
Troy Williams has always had incredible athleticism, even with the team last season. That has continued into the Summer League, as he had this steal and monster jam last night:
This athleticism bleeds into his defensive game, too. As seen in the video above, he is starting to improve at picking the pocket of offensive players. He also is a great shot blocker for a guard. Check out this block on Steph Curry last season:
It gets better every time you watch it.
Pure Potential
Troy Williams has the potential to be a great athletic player in the league. If his shooting continues to improve, he could find a rotation spot with the Rockets, maybe. He is still just 22 years old and will get even better. By the way, who could forget Troy’s incredible putback dunk last season?
Wow. If Williams can put it all together, he could be a great piece for the Rockets.

Proposed trade I saw on Clutchfans
Darrell Arthur, Kenneth Faried and Emanuel Mudiay to the Knicks.
Ryan Anderson to the Nuggets
Melo to the Rockets
That's seems like it would benefit all teams.

We're probably not getting Melo. Shouldn't have taken this long if the talks are serious.

You never know. It's just difficult because of Ryno. Nobody wants him and that contract. I figured they are trying to do a three team trade.
