This is fantastic. The last I had heard, the Pacers were taking a look. I hope Jordan doesn't screw up again and not play hard because he can make this team!! What a great backup Rocket he would be while learning the NBA ropes. And eventually he can be a starter probably when he gets stronger and quicker because of the good training he will get. No more laying around till noon, time to get up and work hard. You can do it Jordan!!!!!

Re: Rockets close to adding Eglseder

Oh crap! LaGrange is only a bit down the road from Houston. Big E - spend the extra bucks on a apt with security at the door - maybe a home security system. A laywer familar with stalking cases might not be a bad idea either.

I wish Jordan luck, I hope he has improved A BUNCH being in the rookie league or whatever it is and around an NBA training camp. Jordan turned out to be a good college player but has a whole lot of room to improve if he ever wants to step onto the floor in an regular season NBA game.

Re: Rockets close to adding Eglseder

Great news for the Big E - hard work pays off. Hopefully some time with the coaches will uncover/develop some additional skills that will garner minutes.

Here's the stats of the Northern Iowa University () standout (I think we can cut them some slack because they are from Europe).

They're Czech, man... you gotta give 'em a break. English isn't their first language.

Re: Rockets close to adding Eglseder



That is what the roster looks like right now. By my count there are 20 names there and I beleive that number will be cut to 15 for the start of the season (Could be wrong..don't follow the NBA much). It will probably be very tough for him to avoid the axe with there only being 4 rookies on that roster (two of whom they drafted and are probably higher on). This is all just my speculation but I would assume those five they cut would be sent down to the D-League team. Maybe E will be able to make the roster..but if not..at least he can count on Yao getting injured at some point which would open up a roster spot for a center.

Re: Rockets close to adding Eglseder

Yao was talking about retiring if a foot injury didn't heal up - don't know how serious that is though. In addition, Brad Miller isn't a spring chicken by any means at 34.

BTW - I think its funny that NBA teams post palyer b-days. Most employers would be in all sorts of trouble if they did the same thing. I guess Lifelock must now be sponsoring the NBA?
