Motiejunas had 31pts(13/23fg) 8 rebs 3assists in his first dleague season game. I feel bad for him he is clearly NBA level talent but McHale doesnt give chance to prove it.

He needs to add 15 pounds though. McHale is an a$$hole but the Rockets are too stacked at PF and Dmo can't play C yet.
+ 100. Luke Harangody is absolutely horrible when he plays for the Cavs but then goes down in the D League and averages 25 and 15.....how is that even possible??
I was hoping that the rebounds and effort would be there, but I had no idea he would be so talented around the basket even as RAW as he still is. Brandon Knight said it best in his interview last night after the game. Saying that Dre has barely even scratched the surface of his talent to this point.

needs to get bigger and needs playing time in our system...both can get done in the d-league
he was outplayed by terrance jones during preseason and in practice and jones isn't getting much playing time...he would be buried on the end of the bench behind pat pat morris jones asik and smith
rockets usually play their rookies in the d-league for a while (parsons and jones are the exception not the rule)..d-mo will eventually get his shot
Jonas V and Drummond are probably the future premiere 5's of this league but will do their work in two very different ways. Drummond is a straight up freak athlete for his size, with good rebounding & blocking instincts. JV is just so skillful and has a nasty motor on the court. Both with tons of potential.
I'm so impressed with Drummond. I knew there was a reason I was screaming at my TV for Toronto to pick him when he dropped to 8th. I just don't understand how you blow that pick so bad. I'm really trying to make myself believe it wasn't cause of Bargnani, but knowing BC..

With how Dwane Casey has decimated the confidence of NBA ready rookie Terrence Ross, I almost feel relieved that we allowed him to flourish on another team. He made Ed Davis from looking like a potential borderline all star PF that can anchor a defense, rebound the hell out of the ball, and score in all ways, to a guy that can only rebound.
And this isn't an apologist post, because I actually do want to see Drummond succeed, if only to prove me right that he's going to be great
Jeremy Lin, Jerryd Bayless, Bismack Biyombo, I believe.
