You heard it here 1st. Whitmore will supplant Jaylen Green, he will make jaylen expendable
Some people like to overhype Tate. He has really bad habits and picked up some more last season with his tunnel vision. Imo he isn’t that great of a defender. He was just active and likes to grind. Some of his plays/pases are questionable.
I would like us to trade him before he loses more value.
Tate sucks
I agree with Robert's rotation assessment and I really like how this Rockets team is constructed, lots of redundancy (dotted lines) and versatility at multiple positions. The traditional basketball thinkers may have issues with this concept until they see it succeed. We are flexible and can account for foul trouble, someone having a poor shooting night, etc. Tate is the big question for me but he is a gamer and I feel like we need to find him a slot. One thing I feel very passionate about, we need the ball in Amen's hands as much as possible and maybe Cam goes g-league, at least for a while, versus rotting at the end of the bench.
