Ish Smith Question

Got a question concerning former point guard Ish Smith. I saw he signed a deal with the Rockets, I was wondering if any of you knew his chances of making the team or how he has been playing with them. I saw he had a pretty good summer league so that can only help his chances.

I figure the Rockets turned Aaron Brooks into a pretty legit pg, they could probably do the same with Smith.

I would say Ish has a better than 50-50 shot of making Houston's squad.

The emphasis on the hand-check rule has really helped out speedy PGs with marginal scoring ability- see Rajon Rondo. Ish is a lot like Rondo, except he is smaller and isn't as good of a shooter (and Rondo isn't a great shooter).

Ish wasn't coached properly (if at all) his last few seasons at Wake. If he can develop a decent jump shot and get his FT % up around 70%, he could very well be a 10 year player in the NBA.

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
