    geeez… it was a pun on the Jordan comp… Let’s see if he can match Jordan Poole first, then we’ll see about other jordans. Jordan Clarkson would be next. Mostly a goof.

    I see you’re mad at me, but you gotta chill, coz you sound quite dumb if you think Jordan effing Poole is too high of a bar for the expected ROY

    Jordan Poole with 2 years of NBA experience would probably win rookie of the year. He ain't eligible.

    I wonder who Dort is guarding today

    Edit: what the heck. For some reason I thought we were playing OKC today

    Edit: ah, because I was looking at the okc game tickets on seat geek and thought that was today

    Probably a combination of KPJ and Green.

    you guys are really sandbagging.
    Poole had some moments last year, but I really hope JG is better.
    I’ll grant you Poole had a nice preseason, and there is some buzz about him now. But projections around the draft were that Moody (a rookie) would be ahead of him in the rotation. Maybe he makes a leap. But no way last year’s Poole with some incremental improvement is better than this year’s ROY, whoever that ends up being. Either Poole makes the leap or this class really sucks.

    You are really undervaluing 2 years of NBA experience. That is the only reason Poole would have a hypothetical shot at rookie of the year. The top of this year's class definitely has more upside than Poole. It's just they have no NBA game experience. That is a severe disadvantage.

    Yawn. You're an idiot. Imagine getting this worked up over a throwaway humour comment? That's your life. Sad.

    13 points, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals by the end of the regular season.

    Just to put some numbers out there

    16.5 ppg
    3.2 apg
    4.1 rpg
    32% 3 point %

    Second half stats > first half stats

    No way! You’re way undervaluaing top rookie campaigns. Absolutely no way Jordan Poole now wins ROY over the likes of Lamelo, Ja, Luca, Donovan Mitchell/Ben Simmons in their rookie years. Now, if he makes a major leap, maybe, but that’s still a huge hypothetical.

    But that’s like saying, say Aaron Holiday - who was in his 3rd year last year and is a nice player - would have won over Lamelo last year

    :eek:

    oh my…preseason play has y’all massively lowering expectations

    Just 13 points? Not even 2 apg? Can’t even get a steal? While getting plenty of minutes and touches on 1 of the worst teams in the league? Sheesh saleem

    I think we'll be lucky if he even gets that. Just gotta hope he doesn't continue to shoot 4-20 everytime.

    We’ll be lucky if the #2 overall pick manages 13 points and 1.5 assists on a team where he’ll be starting and getting plenty of shots and minutes? Y’all really need to stop

    Yep! I'm hoping Silas is actually trying to win this game. Less Green has the ball the better.

    The tennis match should be fun. When Green goes off and has good games it will turn into "well he needs to do it for a full season har har har" :rolleyes:

    Green can be streaky so there will be games where it looks like he can't miss from 3 which will open up the lane for him. I imagine threads will be bumped haha

    I love my life.....you think you are trolling me when in reality I'm trolling you.

    My blood pressure is just fine.

    I'm posting all this stuff while laughing at you. You peat and repeat stuff you see
    on Clutchfans like a mindless nub.

    Here you jackalope, here is our very own distinguished
    gentleman Nathan Fogg speaking about the Silas offense.

    A tad more complicated than the great offensive mind
    of Jeff Van Gundy of simply dumping the ball in the post to
    Ewing or Yao Ming.
