fwiw: 2 of those losses they also did not suit up Middleton, Holiday and Lopez. so they were 5-2 with those three, but not Giannis.
I said it before he even played a game with us that he was going to be an all-star or out of the league in a few years. The only thing holding him back is his maturity and judgement. KPJ's ability to get to his spots with such ease while still keeping his dripple and keeping his head of up for a pass is god given. Very few people have that ability. All the people in the NBA that have that ability are first-team NBA candidates. He just needs to some go-to finishing moves.
The biggest potential obstacle to Kevin becoming a really good team’s best or second best player offensively, as well as a good defensive player, assuming he stays healthy, is Kevin, in my opinion. He’s said more than once, I think, that he wants to model his game after Harden. If KPJ puts in the work James puts in year after year, taking the gifts he has and improving his game, the kid can be a legitimate star, even an All Star. If he puts in the work, keeps his head on straight and doesn’t let life outside of the game steer him the wrong way. Again, in my opinion. He’s 20 years old. That we were able to get him for a cup of coffee blows my mind.
Holy sh''t. I actually searched the web and then log on to CF wanting to reply to this before I saw your post. Actually its 51.
I know a lots of Harden's fanboys will love this dude, I just re-watched the clips on the game prior to last night when he scored 10 points. He did look like a lots to Harden, when his shots does not fall, he quit and you can tell from his body language.
Not sure if “dropped” is the right word to describe fastbreak layups. here’s his shotchart, with his 49 footer to end the half outside the viewing range — other side of Katy or something.
Exactly how does that impact KPJ’s performance? People on this forum say the darndest things. Also, I’ve read this several times and don’t get it. Do you mean while playing for a team competing for last place? Or did you think we were playing the Timberwolves rather than the Bucks?
He CAN be a franchise player, but it will depend upon his love and dedication to the game over everything else. His handles need work, his shot needs work, and his defense needs a complete overhaul - but he is only 20 years old and if he has that work ethic the sky is the limit. Unfortunately he is off to a choppy start with his poor decision making off the court, which is part of it too....can he handle being an NBA player and the expectations that come with it? He is definitely worth the risk, but is he an Eddie Griffin/JR Rider, or is he a James Harden, or somewhere in between - remains to be seen, and it is ALL up to him. DD
Thank you for correcting me. I thought it was against the wolves. Aside from my ignorant statement, I was trying to convey PJT is on the worst team competing to stay the worst team. What made Harden different is that he adjusted his game through the years as pressure was increasingly placed against him. Let's see how he turns out when competition heats up. He very well could be the next Harden.
