They might've asked him and been turned down. I know Quarterback had multiple guys turn down the offer to be on Season 1 (Hurts and Stafford have publicly said as much when asked about the show, there might have been more as well) and a similarly hard time for season 2.

In other matters can I say that I love how Brandon Ingram always looks unbelievably baked. The scraggly beard really helps sell the look.

Aminu is probably the only real competition he has ever had in this respect.

the problem with going through games like this is that there could likely be a "legit" foul on almost every single play of every single game

The Rockets really miss Dillon Brooks and Tari Eason. Jae'Sean Tate was fine coming off the bench, but he's a black hole on offense against starters. Eason was the leader of the second unit and the only one who could reliably score and rebound. It's probably good Cam Whitmore is seeing some meaningful minutes because he has a lot of promise as a scorer, but the bench is really thin now and the team isn't really built to play from behind.
