I don't know about that. It would be kind of like trading for Shaedon Sharp if Sharp was on a really bad team. I am sure they traded for him hoping he would take the next step.

Houston could've had Shady Sharp in 2022 and could've had Stephon Castle or Kling-Kong in 2024. I think both blazers selections in those years are better than what Houston chose.

He's not a shooter from anywhere else that I've seen. Maybe the free-throw line? Other locations his shot is very clunky (other than at the hoop where he's very good).

That Caleb Love foul reversal was assinine. (I like it better spelled with ASS in it.). They should have actually called a foul before the ball was even inbounded.

Houston needs more points. That's what wins the game.

I bet there are many that remember him. I had a friend in high school who couldn't stop talking about Billy Ray Bates (and Chocolate Thunder), so it's more like experiencing Billy Ray Bates second-hand than remembering him.

He's also the 3rd youngest player on the roster after Yang and Rupert.

There are 5 international players that are in the top 5 of either the West or the East: Giannis, Shae, Doncic, Jokic, and Wemby. Deni is the 6th vote-getter for international players, so I think even if he moves to 5th place in the Western Conference that he wouldn't be a starter. (Edit...

"Deni Avdija might be the most hidden gem in the history of the NBA."

He's much closer to the guy ahead of him (Anthony Edwards) than the guy behind him.

No, you didn't imagine it. The shot went in with 2:10 left in the 1st quarter. Cissoko went behind the back with his left hand going at Lauri Markannen then stopped. Markannen's momentum sent him backwards, Cissoko did a double-step-back and hit the shot over a recovering Markannen's...

And Blake Wesley? Maybe.

Dan Lanning talks about all of this and his solution (as seen on the Rich Eisen show): (Skip ahead to 2:58 if you want to bypass Rich Eisen) Did Oregon’s Dan Lanning Just Lay Out How to Fix the Drawn-Out CFP Schedule??

If he can hit his open catch-and-shoot threes consistently that would be a much-needed part of the offense.
