Question for Rockets fans...

Did Terrence Jones have a run in with the coach or something? Trying to figure out why he isn't getting any clock after a very good preseason showing. TIA.

I don't think there is any real reason. None of the 3 rookies have played a second this year. Mchale doesn't play rookies.

Here's an article I found about this.

Ultimate Rockets With Rockets young big men playing well, other young big men wait, watch

Kevin McHale quote: “They want to play more and I wish I could play them a little bit more, but I think our average (experience) for our team is under two years so everybody we play is young,” McHale said. “It’s not like all of a sudden we’re saying, “Gee, we’re not playing our young guys to play vets.’ We’re not playing our young guys to play other young guys. It’s just a matter of which young guy you want to play. But we have to try to work them into our rotation as we go.”

Some teams are just like that. Glad nothing happened, they're definitely loaded at forward. I think Jones can be a very good NBAer playing in a fast break offense.
