He got 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks in 23 mins and got the Rockets commentators very excited. He was 8-9 from the field. I only intended to watch the first Q online, but ended up transfixed and didn’t get to bed till 2:30am. I think he is going to be a big favourite in Houston. A good article about him from the Chronicle in Houston. Chronicle

I think he'd be more suited to playing in Europe and probably would get a lot more court time.
