Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
actually it was the ref who was out of line...
Dorsey got a tech for saying "See you can't rattle him" to Blatche after Barerra made the free throws.
That was what he got kicked out of a summer league game for... after one technical he didn't deserve.
Now do I think he will say something that actually gets him kicked out of a game... eventually. He's got less control over his tongue than Rasheed Wallace. But the vets will cool him down.

Quote:
Greene is every bit as confident that he can contribute sooner than the Rockets hope. But while he demonstrated his potential, he also showed how far he has to go.
“He can contribute sooner if he learns,” head coach Rick Adelman said. “I don’t think he understands how hard you have to play in our league.
“Coming off the bench, you’ve got to be playing hard all the time. He has to learn how to be effective at both ends. I mean, he’s 6-10 and doesn’t even look to rebound. That’s something he can do, something he should do, all the time.”
Though effort and intensity are not at issue, Dorsey also would need to make rapid strides to contribute as a rookie.
“He can learn it,” Turner said. “He does have the skills. He competes. But there are so many concepts and strategies. It’s not all about knocking somebody around.”
All in all, the Rockets have seen enough of their newcomers — rookies and second-year players alike — to look forward to more.
“Donté, Joey and Maarty (Leunen) have performed to expectations,” Morey said. “That doesn’t always happen. Sometimes a guy comes in and disappoints.”

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
That's good. We need a big bully in there for when someone tries to act all hard with Yao.

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
Our rookies Greene and Dorsey are ranked 13th and 41st, respectively, in Thorpe's Rookie Rankings.

Donte Greene, Rockets
The Kevin Durant comparison is an accurate one. When he settles for being just a long-range shooter, he's an ordinary player (at the NBA level). But if he's active as a cutter, sprints the floor in transition and looks to make plays inside, he's a special offensive talent. Just like KD.

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
I think Greene's 40pt game might've sealed the deal for the Artest trade. Best of luck in Sactown Donte!

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
I wonder what will become of Greene. Too bad we had to let him go, but at the expense of getting Artest, I will deal with it.

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
I am sad to see Donte go for the one year rental of Artest.

That has to suck, you do the photo shoot then a day later you're traded.

Re: Houston Rockets Rookie Watch Thread
I guess all we have left now is Dorsey. I wonder where he is going to be in the rotation considering both Landry and Deke are not signed yet.
