    "Call me back when"...

    Seriously saying this about a player in his 3rd game who has shown willingness and effort to improve AND has the potential to live up to it. What a joke

    Anyone with athleticism can dunk. Few can play good defense and hit a high rate of 3 pointers. I'm all about watching the young man improve and hope he continues too. There was nothing negative about what I said just a hope hes working on his defense and 3 pointers don't don't impress me.

    I swear everyone on the internet wants to start an argument.

    You're not for watching him improve. You're being whiny and impatient.

    Where did I whine about his performance or express impatience. You're mistaken and flat our wrong.

    I have even defended him in the "experiment is over thread" I've watched every preseason and regular season game to watch these young guns improve (Astros on one TV last night and Rockets on the another). That is the very reason why you won't find me anointing him the next MVP for his 9 threes in one game or raking him over the coals when he goes 2-9 from three for 10 points in 35 mins in the next. He's young and talented but RAW. He has a lot of room to improve. I said it before.... He wasn't putting up 40 last year in the development league, anyone who expects him to come in putting up monster numbers at this level is crazy.

    But to imply that I'm whiny and impatient when I'm unimpressed with his dunking ability, and want him to continue to work on his defense and 3 point shooting, you know things that really win games, is wrong on your part.

    This elaboration is a very different tone than "eh. Call me when..."

    We can just let it go to avoid flooding the thread

    Eh... tone is a hard thing to convey on-line.... :)

    How about this:

    Dunk on young man... just keep working on that Defense and 3 point shooting.

    Peace

    I’ll judge him on a year to year improvement
    Here’s a skinny teenager who was drafted top 3

    One of the more impressive ones I have seen. His face is being pulled down and his head is still above the rim.

    KD could have 20+ shots a game, while Green only has 9 shots.

    Silas is just developing his scrubs not our young rookies.

    I was told after the Boston game he was Kyle Korver, just shoots 3's

    You make it sound like he just dunks

    At some point he will put together the Dunks with the 3's
    plus FT's.....[Rim, Mid-Range, 3-pointers, FT's, transition points]

    Defense will get better with more strength.

    You will be eating crow....served cold

    Every time Jalen is running the break I hold my breath because I expect to scream.

    ..Half the time I end up screaming because his teammates miss him on the break and bum a contested layup

    gotta keep building chemistry, i guess.
