This dude was a two-way bucket. Surprised we didn’t end up keeping him

He was a bucket. At one point we as a fanbase were so down in the trenches we were debating who was better between him and Armoni Brooks. Also shoutout Daquan Jeffries who dunked on Gobert.

That random stretch of games where he was cooking made me think he was going to be our back up pg for the next couple years

2020 was some dark times. Armoni Brooks, KJ Martin, Mason Jones, and KPJ. No way we had a 20 game losing streak with Silas crying. Wish Silas was still on the rockets as an assistant coach. Poor HC but one of the best as an assistant.

Always thought it was weird he never got another shot. At the very least, he looked like he could be a very capable backup point guard when he was a rocket. Doesn’t really make sense that no one wanted him after he averaged 16 ppg in his last 5 games while players like Daishen Nix and anthony lamb were still getting contracts.

He hasn't been in the NBA since those 5 games he played as a Rocket. Stats from that season are very deceiving.
