those are weaknesses he could realistically grow out of with time, practice and hard work. and what do they mean "add more weight"? 250lbs for a center is good. camby is 235-40, dalembert's 250, noah 232. did they mean more strength?

if i had a 5-10 pick, he'd be on the top of my list

I don't know much about College Ball, So I really don't know any of the players.

I think we should just re-sign Earl Boykins to be our starting Centre. He fits our usual description of what a PF - C should be.

Are there any Australians available? There is my vote.

Not that I am biased towards my fellow countrymen in a Rockets Uniform.

And David Andersen isn't a bad player. He just doesn't suit the NBA.

If we let go of Lowry, can we get Patty Mills to be Dragic's backup?

They're going to get Hornswoggle from the WWE to replace Kevin Martin.

I hear Happy, Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, and Sneezy are looking for contracts too.
