    Stayed up to watch this game (its 2 30 right now where i am) Really want to watch Machado – Lillard , Motiejunas – Leonard. Ofcours lamb jones and white too but this game in general sounds great. Started the game with great pace. Which one of these prospects has surprised you the most ?

     Damian Lillard is a beast.

     They might not get much time as a duo but Damian Lillard and Meyers Leonard play well together, Meyers Leonard is really good, he has alot of potential.

    Great showing by the trio of Motiejunas,Lamb and Jones in the second…strong draft from Houston and the Lithuanian looks very mature also

     im happy houston didnt trade for howard these guys are going to be a great core of guys to build upon.  I still think they should get rid of Martin so these guys see more time.  They are unselfish and really fun to watch.

    The more I see Royce White, the more I like him.  I have been critical of him in the past, but he is looking great in the summer league.  I think he might be so good as a slasher and post player that his lack of shooting ability won’t be as big as a deal as it could have been.  He has a very mature approach to the game.

    Luke Babbitt has been very disappointing in this game.  Some of his struggles are just being in a bit of a slump, but he doesn’t look comfortable creating off the dribble or working in the paint.  I had much higher expectations for him out of college.

    Jeremy Lamb looks good.  He is so dangerous as a shooter and he looks just like he did in college.  He could become really tough to defend at the NBA level.

    Lillard is struggling to get to the rim.  He is settling for too many jump shots.  He will adjust, though, as he has the physical tools and ball handling skills to eventually develop as a slasher, even if he never is an elite one.  He is an extremely dangerous shooter, though.

     on the martin mention i dont mind it of they keep around hes 12 mil coming off the books at the end of the year and he allows lamb too come off the bench is rookie year and develope motie looks like the real deal the young core the rockets have looks promising with lin lamb white parsons and even though they over paid for him asik is gonna help alot on d and rebounding

     Damian Lillard and Nolan Smith each with 27 points for Portland.

    Damian Lillard is really growing on me he can score 4real.

    All the people that got at me and Neg me for saying Lillard, since the middle of the college season should be the first PG picked. And Jeremy Lamb would be a better player than Bradly Beal. Also I never got why he was so highly ranked. Yeah so far it looks like I’m right after all.
