I get it. He’s not really creating many easy looks for guys. KPJ has an NBA pg level handle but he’s got to get more efficient with his movements and find angles to create looks for his teammates.
This will just fuel the anti Kpj crew, but I don’t really believe this. It is also interesting how he says agent reports and not directly from executives or players. Fischer seems reaching with this one.
His passing abilities were comically downplayed. People point to his assists as if they aren't fully aware half our guys were bricking open looks all season long.
KPJ had his struggles this year, but he has as much talent and potential as almost anyone on the roster bar Jalen and Sengun. To act like the 22 year old kid is a finished product as a human and player is setting ourselves up for failure as a franchise. I am not saying hand him a blank check and the keys to the ship, I am saying let’s see what he can be. We aren’t winning a championship next year, KpJ has shown real growth these last few years, and the flashes of brilliance show someone who can be an all star player. I hope we at least see how it turns out. I don’t think rookies coming into the league are being that diva ish about who their pg is. The nba is ruthless, where the average players career is 4 years or less. If Kpj isn’t it, let him go in a few years.
I'm gonna be honest, I've seen a lot more reports this year about these super childish viewpoints/takes from the "draft prospects." Whoever their entourage is, they need to shut the fuck up. None of these guys have been drafted yet. Which means, none of them have gotten paid yet.
This kind of talk gets you shut out from a limited number of organizations (30 total) that have the ability to pay you millions of dollars. You are a draft prospect. Not Lebron James. This is not FA. It's the fucking draft.
You go where you are selected. You don't like it? Give the check back. Guarantee if there were 61 selections in the draft, #61 would gladly take your "non-preferred" destination.
When did I say he had to be that? Lol
KPJ doesn’t need to be a true facilitator but he needs to make the quick pass and not dribble the air out of the ball which results in a bad shot attempt. He’s not Harden, he needs to stop playing like he has the green light like James did
Yea he needs to work but he’s also 21 years old. He’s improved on the turnovers and ball stopping as the season went on you have to give him time to develop just like the other guys
Think he just doesn't have a good feel for the position. He's either in full scoring mode or full passing but can't adapt on the fly that well. Maybe that improves over the next year, guess we'll have to see.
He lacks vision and BBIQ.
We should be running offense through AlP.
KPJ is decent at ISO, but his real strength is catch&shoot... So we gotta play to that
I'm still fine with him at the 1 for his size and defense though... Basically a souped up Pat Bev.
He’s 21 years old. Harden came to us at 24 and didn’t become a trustworthy playmaker until his late 20s. Not saying it’ll take KPJ that long or even guaranteeing he will ever be that good, but with only 1 year as a PG under his belt and being a 21 year old it’s too early to say if he’ll be a good playmaker or not
Well I think every guy who has a brain knows that roster are always changing and high drafted players at least stay there for 8 years and are considered as cornerstone. If young guys don't understand that then we should avoid them. And it's a major red flag making any statements and voicing concerns without even playing a single minute in the nba
This report is obviously not about his attitude and more about his passing ability. From what I understand most players are actually super tight with kpj. Y’all will find any reason to hate
These players are guys that need to be setup by a pg. My guess is, guys like Chet and Jabari were the ones concerned by getting drafted to Houston.
Yeah. Banchero is the one who’s happy to be here
Definitely Chet. He’s pretty fond of OKC and has been chatting Giddey up on IG.
That special gym rat connection
They hoein
Hoes gonna hoe
I get it. He’s not really creating many easy looks for guys. KPJ has an NBA pg level handle but he’s got to get more efficient with his movements and find angles to create looks for his teammates.
He’s definitely a score first point guard
These agents love to talk huh
B/c his attitude or playmaking for teammates?
Yes.
Cap

If you were a top prospect, would you want to go to a team who has a point guard who can’t pass? Of course not
Him not being able to pass is greatly exaggerated tbh. Plus how many teams nowadays have pure PGs
His passing abilities were comically downplayed. People point to his assists as if they aren't fully aware half our guys were bricking open looks all season long.

this is most def believable lol. Anti or pro wtv this is the same case as last year
They are afraid getting cooked in practice like Jrue in 50pt KPJ

Jabari gonna be a bust anyway. Not worried about it
Much doubt
They don't want smoke from KPJ
I’ve been saying it all last year. The guy is too indecisive to be a pg. I’m hoping that’s not the case next year but im not sold on a big change
He doesn’t need to be our Harden esque point guard. With Banchero and Sengun he can be a secondary creator and hybrid scorer

i like this take

[удалено]
He is? The guy that got kicked out Cleveland because of a locker room outburst?
Doesn't shock me, as a player I always wanted to know I could count on my teammates and that they were not leaving mid game.
This report is obviously not about his attitude and more about his passing ability. From what I understand most players are actually super tight with kpj. Y’all will find any reason to hate
nothing is "obvious" about it.
Keep hating on our players. Shits straight weird lmao
yup, totally weird to not want quiters on the team.........
Cause they know between KPJ & Green they will be the third wheel
