I would be shocked if even the first year of those three year deal is fully guaranteed

WTH
signing undrafted players to 3 years deal is norm now?
i guess Morey doing it for early Bird right

It's full bird after three years. They are probably all unguaranteed except for the first year

undraftee don't get fully guaranteed money
low risk team option on 2nd and 3rd year
Morey talked about having deal to move up but didn't because that player is already taken
i wonder who that player is

The pick Denver took . The big Bosnian Center. The same pick Denver got when we stupidly not tanked and made the playoffs in the Lawson trade. The Rockets had worked him out a few times and were very interested. He has size.

I've been watching Gonzaga games today and man Wiltjer is really good offensively. I'm probably just getting attached to be let down when he gets cut but he has good size and is an amazing shooter with an ok post game

He is an awesome shooter and I wanted my Cavs to get him cause I'm sure he would work great with Lebron.
But saying he has good size is just not true, he is an absymal rebounder and not a very good defender, he is really weak for his position and that's gonna be a problem.
He can find spot minutes with a good team like Steve Novak but that's about it.

He can have good size and be a bad rebounder. He can bulk up a little bit, in his draft workout videos he looks like he's already gained some weight. When I said good size I meant he's a deadbang shooter thats 6'10. Because of that size, quick and high release he can get his shot off easily almost anytime.

Thon Maker. Doc Rocket was throwing hints Morey was after him.When the Bucks took him so high that threw Morey's plans into a spin.BTW, the guy I was talking about was Spanish and not Bosnian.Hemm something.

No, Olympics. Will play team USA 3 times between July to August though, probably a bridge way too far for him at this point especially when he's one of the 2 best player .

China's basketball is improving overall, but it's no where near to being able to hang with team USA yet, especially it's perimeter players.

But who knows, maybe most of the time he'll be just chilling on Harry B

Looks like I'll be watching Chinese National Team games then!

Playing in the Olympics is probably better for his overall development then playing some average kids in the Summer league anyway.

Bigs in vegas are a mixed bag too anyway, a lot of time they just don't have the guard play to actually show anything.

Then again, neither does team China

　

It would be at least interesting to see if he can remotely hang with those guys physically, which is probably the biggest question in him being able to transition to the NBA.

What should the Rockets do in the draft?
