Very content playing an ancillary role. Kind of passive now. Is what it is I guess. Needs to find that balance. Can’t just blindly attack the basket on a set half court defense in the NBA like he was trying to do at one point when his shooting went completely to hell, but he definitely needs to add a consistent floater to his game at some point.
I think it's more having Sengun playing impactful minutes and not having Christian Wood bog down everything, though Schroeder clearly has more experience running the point than KPJ does right now. But I think Green and KPJ have been playing well together and very well might continue to play well together if we don't have Wood soaking up minutes and touches.
Slightly guilty. I just think KPJ playing alongside a strong PG fully unlocks his game rather than hinders it. Still puts him in position to get 5-7 assists per game as a secondary playmaker, frees him up to score more, and allows him to maybe more comfortably grow into that role as a lead playmaker somewhere down the road. Maybe KPJ and Nix could be a strong 1-2 punch starting together and playing off each other.
Now is the time to experiment. Bring KPJ and Wood off the bench. Schroder/KPJ Green/Jaygup or Nix EGo/Mathews Tate/KJ Sengun/Wood
I don't think Gordon is stopping development, he's proven to be very good off the ball too. That being said, I'm not sure if FGA per minute is a good representation of offensive involvement. In terms of touches, Green and Sengun are 5th and 7th on this team (excluding Schroder here). However, interestingly, looking at purely front court touches (Guard touches are often inflated since they bring the ball up more), Sengun is actually 3rd on this team, and Green drops down to 6th. What this does show is that Sengun knows how to play smart basketball. 73% of Sengun's touches are in the front court, unlike Wood who is only 55%. That means Sengun isn't chilling in the backcourt or trying to bring the ball up, he's getting to the front court and moving the rock.
See, these posters can’t help themselves. Bad, mediocre, good game doesn’t matter. When analysis is frigid like that, you know not to accept any of the positives or negatives from such a person. These guys have conflict inside them and they think it will feel better by winning conflicts outside of them. So they look for conflict under every stone, an entire thread in conflict with their belief is like a coke head finding a kilo. This stuff is soothing them, but at its core it’s a irrational illogical erratic behavior. This is why they don’t display any confident characteristics, constantly initiating conflicts to create a dramatic stage for their eventual “I knew all along! No one listens to me! It’s all going to **** if you don’t start listening now! Advice guys: outside world can’t fix what you feel inside. It works the other way around. Green is predictably elevating his game. Advanced stats starting to reflect a better understanding of the game mainly through transition, defense and FT’s. Have to give it to the coaching staff, he had the off ball game of a 15 year old when he showed up. They’ve added polish to everything he does without dribbling the ball. That’s going to help him a lot. I’m not concerned about what happens when he takes over the offense. He won’t need any coaching on that one. Given more consecutive possessions to get into a rhythm, he’s going to quickly remind you why he was drafted 2nd. I won’t be surprised, you will.
I seriously doubt if their ego can handle it. Pretty sure Wood wouldn't shoot or rebound for the next 5 games. With KPJ i seriously don't know. He might take it well, he might get the hell out of town.
Not every stone but Stone is conflicted, will give you that. You should join the advertising department. Could you be more vague? What outside world? The outside world that you do not frequent.........
This has to go down as one of the best posts ever on Clutchfans. For how absolutely insane it is. You sound mentally deranged in this post. Are you ok? I mean. You've not guessed, but guaranteed that Green will be a superstar, so clearly you aren't all there. I can't wait for you to come cashing cheques in 2027 when Jalen Green is on another roster (maybe in China?) and he can string together a handful of good games in a row. Boy you're going to show all of us then! Those repeat Mikal Bridges possessions in the clutch where he become Green's daddy must have really rattled a few more screws lose in that noggin of yours. I think you've reached the point of no return with your denial, that place only few people ever reach where they just become so unhinged they begin to live in an alternate reality. There is literally no other explanation to you guaranteeing us a player who's shown so little, will be a star. Damn Cade looks good. Damn Barnes looks good. Damn Mobley looks good. Damn Giddey looks good. Damn Jalen.... ahhh what is it that every single opposing commentary team says about him? Oh that's right. The same generic standard line ad nauseum, because Jalen gives them nothing to actually pinpoint and harp on. Can anyone do a quick check to see if any other rookie in this class has been so underwhelming, they needed a puff piece written about how they ran up the court, to finally talk about him positively. There is literally every single stat under the sun backing up the eye-test (maybe you need glasses?) that Jalen Green is not a good NBA player right now. Yet here you are. On your mentally deranged rants on your ivory tower thinking other people are the fools. Is this honestly a burner account for Asiansensation? They both seem as unhinged as each other.
KPJr will not handle coming off the bench well, especially when he was finally not playing like trash he might upgrade from throwing things to actually putting hands on somebody lawd have mercy if they have him coming off the bench and then get on him about something, he might Sprewell-Carlesimo a member of the coaching staff
Interesting. Regardless I think Cade or Mobley have ROY locked up. Cade’s looked really good as of late and has the numbers and Mobley has the numbers and team is top of the east (which is weird to say).
Why is Green unbenchable? He should not be, I do not think 20 ish games are all that important. Now would the right time to play Jaygup 30 minutes IMO. Ego playing does not make sense either.
The word your looking for is midrange. Once he retreats from the layup area they completely ignore him in the midrange area. I saw the defender slowly move his feet defensively escorting Green out the paint and completely engage back on defense at the 3 point line.The whole league knows how to guard us.
HOW F'n STUPID IS SILAS TO FAVOR ERIC GORDON AND NOT GIVE GREEN THE LAST SHOT AGAINST THE SUNS!!!! THESE ARE INVALUABLE MOMENTS BEING WASTED BY THIS DUMASS COACH.
Damn! Well said! I think that applies to most all facets of life. Here it just happens to be basketball. Not going politics but whatever side of the fence you’re on, is this not applicable?
He is but he is also 28, shouldn't be viewed as a long term piece but enough to get us through 1 or 2 seasons if he does not mind being on a bad team.
