    I voted Franchise Player way back.

    Sadly most clutchfans want to badmouth Kevin Porter Jr.

    Kevin improved form in his shooting technique and spot up shooting, increased strength, passing, creating, ball handling were all in display.

    Chris Brinkley, Kevin Porter Jr, James Harden all worked on their Training together. It definitely shows.

    Ben Simmons is not even close to Kevin Porter Jr. Offensive Talent.

    Media and Fans have overrated Ben Simmons way too much.

    Losing Harden and getting KPJ feels like losing Andre Johnson and getting DeAndre Hopkins

    Kevin Porter Jr, Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun I think these 3 are Franchise Players.

    I am curious if Christian Wood and Josh Christopher can be All Stars also.

    Christian Wood we'll see this year, Josh Christopher I think will need more reps,maybe needs more experience as a Point Guard.

    Usman Garuba is a wildcard, needs to work a lot on his shooting form from 3. Can he get close to Serge Ibaka offensively.

    Wood would have been an All Star last year if he opted for the high tops. I see him with the Lows again. He better have those Curry ankle straps

    Hopefully a Fully Healthy Team this Year.

    Is Keith Jones Gone? That is a Huge Win.
    Didn't see him on the bench.

    Looked great last night.

    If he can be a 20-25 pt scorer and a primary facilitator, that is a huge win.

    Where does this come from? I feel like I see this more than I see people badmouthing KPJ

    But you're 100% correct on Simmons

    His catch and shoot 3's looked way better last night. His feet was set and everything. Hopefully he can do this consistently

    My only concern is his release looks pretty low, although I could be confusing him with Green.

    I feel like that is something better defenders will be able to exploit.

    Nah his release looks much higher than last year. It's a great sign that he worked on that in the off-season. At least last game there were more arc on all of his 3's.

    He was throwing up line drives last season, they were ugly.

    Kevin Porter Jr literally was shooting 3 pointers from his chest Last Year.

    His form looks good shooting from above his head. It is is very smooth and also a spot up 3 point shooter, which is a huge part of the offense.

    I said it last year & also before the draft that KPJ is our real franchise player

    He’ll be a better overall player & also franchise player then Green

    Wood always be talking about leading these kids but Wood looks like he hates other out shining him. KPJ already looks more of a leader with his confidence and aggressiveness last night
