Yeah this Houston team is odd. Iām not sure other than Amen that Iām into any of the Rockets top picks. They have so many kids w at least some pedigree and I like Eason the best.
Houstonās coaching the past two yeas makes them a total black boxā¦who knows what they have. I think thatās why the Udoka/FVV/Brooks stuff went down despite the expense. Needed a coach and players who will demonstrate professionalism (I know about Brooks, but heāll model nightly effort for them) for a franchise that hasnāt really given it a second thought for awhile
Meanwhile, Ausarās shooting is meh to meh-minus but 9 stocks, 18 boards, and 10 dimes in 2 games is pretty tasty.

Only caught the last the last 5 mins and what I saw was more of the same from Ivey. Thank god for Cade and that the 2 is Iveyās true calling.
That pass back to Wiseman on the break from Ausar was v cool

Please just let Ausar role play Amen for the love of god, I canāt with this kiefer dude, nevermind Wiseman having room temp iq on the floor.
I feel like weāre going to be doing this same song and dance of the pistons being allergic to the most common sense, fan service decisions. Ausar will be playing a bit part role when he should be getting more touches, just like how Duren was sodelined for Wiseman and Bagley of all people last season, and how Cade had to share the rock with Killian f@cking Hayes for half a season the season before. The same franchise that had to be dragged kicking and screaming in order to tank, always a step late to everything.

I"m just gonna say that if Marvin Bagley plays 1 second at the 4 there is a crime transpiring.

Iāve basically only seen him in summer league but he just always looks awkward to me. His shots went in this year at least.
Yeah maybe. I donāt know enough about Houston to know how much that stuff matters. Iām a noted Development Skeptic as it is. I dk think the people complaining about Dillon Brooksā contract are weird. And itās already looking more team friendly.
Agreed re: Ausar. He just kind of lets it all come to him and thatās pretty much fine in this context bc heās always looking to make a useful play. Possibly interesting to note that once again heās pressing the ādeferā button to some extent. Last guy people were worried about that had that kind of attitude was Mobley and that seems to have worked out fine.
Itās what people were projecting him as, a connecting piece, and heās fulfilling that role to a tee.
The only problem being thatās pretty much our entire starting five team out there around him minus the obvious guy. So Cade is going to have to at least be an all star caliber player for us to not be the worst team in the league. We are going to be garbaaj unless Cade is Doncic.
Donāt think Iāve seen NBA wins futures out there yet but Iād guess itās going to come in around 30? And obviously some of that 30 is going to be āCade could be really awesomeā.
So yeah, is what it is for this team rn. Think thatās not the worst thing either as long as you get flashes from enough guys. Cade simply being league average for 60 games this year, Ivey being Not Abominable, Ausar showing flashes, etc. would be totally fine IMO.

I hope they keep Bojan, Harris, Morris and Burks (until the trade deadline.) Iād really like to see what this team looks like with some knockdown shooters mixed in.
