And now you're seeing them come back to earth in terms of how these teams are starting to affect them on a nightly basis.

If I was to pinpoint an area where I think a man has made the biggest leap, it has to be in his mid-race comfortability. I think as a rookie, it was clear that he either was going to go to the rim and try and get fouled or, you know, look for someone else to come get the ball. Now...

that the Rockets have put more trust in him in the half quarter, seeing him kind of get to his spots a little bit more, you know, with a little more fluidity, still a bit of a rigid ball handler. And you see at times he turns the ball over a bit too much when you saw like late game in Brooklyn and New York. But. As a mid-range pull-up guy, he does have some potential there.

Obviously, the shot is still kind of funky in terms of the mechanics, but it looks a lot better than it was as a rookie. And I think that that part of his game, obviously, with the athleticism he possesses, he can get to the rim at will.

But if he creates that in-between game, that 12- to 15-foot jumper or floater, that will open up a lot more doors for him and will make him a more well-rounded offensive player.

I did. I did. And that goes back to your earlier question about their struggles in the half court. I always thought that they still could use a legitimate floor spacer. If you're at a point where Dylan Brooks is your most consistent shooter, that kind of tells you where you are as a team, as an overall shooting unit. So I thought they were getting the mix for Cam Johnson.

They didn't want to do that. I thought they were getting the mix. There were a number of guys on the market that I thought could come in and even if they're playing 15, 18 minutes a night, give Houston some legitimate spacing. I think their biggest issue is that a lot of their guys want to do the same thing. They want to get to the basket. They want to attack the rim. They want to hunt for fouls.
