you talk about how you see yourself fitting in with this Rockets team and what people can expect from your game that haven't seen you play?

Good question.

I think I can fit perfectly.

I bring a lot of shooting, playmaking, and with the experience of experienced players that I have, I think I can add my value in it, basketball value especially, experience.

Obviously, they were one of the top defensive teams in the league the last three years.

I'll try to keep it up with the guys, you know.

on that end as well and do whatever is my job to do to help them win last year they had many injuries and they were still able to get a really good record at the end of the year but how the playoffs starts everything kind of race and then the new season starts in the playoffs and everybody's goal is to win a championship but there is only one team that wins in the end So I'm just here, you know, to do my job, whatever it is, bring whatever I have on the table, you know, to help these guys win.

Just kind of curious, how have you seen Alper and Shingun kind of grow from where he was, you know, before being an NBA player to where he is now and kind of what do you think he can become as an NBA star?
