Most Likely Callup Following the Showcase?

Houston's GM seems to think it is going to be Hassan Whiteside. Who do you all think?

You can't go wrong with Jerome Jordan either imo, a big man shooting 92% at the line.

I think Jerome Jordan looked the best at day one of the showcase and is most likely to be called up.

Jordan's FTs won't continue, not that I think this takes him out of consideration. He looks like he's filled out a little bit, and that's one of his biggest things, in my opinion.

I also think Whiteside is a good bet.

Houston really has no need to call up another center, though.

As for Jordan, i agree with yourself and others in this thread. He can probably start on a few teams - such as portland not least. What separates Deandre from Jerome Jordan ? The latter might even be better, as a matter of fact. It's all about opportunity. He was a beast overseas. A bit foul prone, but great offensively.

Another name i'd throw out, though haven't watched him in d-league, is Ohlbrecht.

It doesn't have to be Houston; it can be any team.

The only players shielded from call-ups are players on assignment from their NBA teams. Whiteside isn't on assignment -- he's just a player for the Vipers, not a player for the Rockets playing for the Vipers.

Wolves just signed Chris Johnson from Santa Cruz to a 10-day contract

Whiteside has impressing numbers in limited minutes.
So that begs the question, why isn't he playing more? Granted, Rio grande has a plethora of good big men especially when the Rox assign their players.

@DEvin 1L
I knew that much. Perhaps a misunderstanding
