    Smart - KPj is closer to being a true NBA starter, and it will only help Green the sooner he gets there.

    This is what Lillard said about KPJ



    KPJ if he drives to the rim....has enormous potential.

    Im very miffed at the lack of Sengum in this article as well.

    Go away unless you have something relevant to reply. Im done with the "im just gonna reply to reply" posts where person is butthurt over what you said but cant actually refute anything. Ive grown fond of just flat out ignoring trolls on here and im not one bit sorry for it.

    Also people are so ignorant of what point guard actually means in today's NBA.

    So simple.
    So obvious.

    Yet so many people here still struggle to get it.
    The product of too many panic stricken "Henny Penny" posters I guess.

    Don't post if you can't take critical feedback, tenderfoot.

    But go ahead, call me a troll if that's the cop out you need.

    Garuba & Christopher need plans other than the g league. Just crazy to draft them to watch a rebuilding team AND sign both Theis & Nwaba to take playing time away from both. Garuba pays to be here which is even more crazy. He left a championship team which he STARTED on to come to this. Why? Maybe Llull was right ALL those years by staying put.

    If KPJ had a higher ceiling than Green, he wouldn't have dropped in the draft and Cleveland wouldn't have given him away for nothing. Unless you are not including mental state into someone's ceiling for some reason. KPJ's ceiling is trending in the wrong direction.

    FO actually has a brain thank the heavens.

    Developing new PG takes seasons, plural, not HALF a season like CF demands.

    Imagine the good fortune, Rockets will have a chance at acquiring a Unicorn in back to back drafts.

    Hope they make the right decision.

    There have been a significant number of GREAT players who have come out in support of KPJ as a rising star.

    Harden, Durant, Dame, Love.

    But CF knows better amirite????

    KPJ can not exist off-ball.

    Anyone that watched the Cavs knows this.

    If he doesn’t figure it out here as a combo-guard, he is toast as an NBA player.

    The offense should run primarily through Sengun.

    Super confused. It’s a multi billion $$ organization. You can’t develop multiple players at the same time?

    "I’m happy for him. I met him when he was in high school. I was at our practice facility, and he was doing USA Basketball. I sat there and watched… and I saw them playing pickup. There were a lot of NBA personnel in the building, and they were talking about all these players. I was like, ‘Maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about, but I think he’s the best player in here.’ That’s what I thought at the time. I was like, ‘He’s better than all these dudes that y’all are saying… whatever the rankings are.’

    So I always liked his game, from that point on. I bumped into him, Kenyon Martin Jr., and Ben McLemore this summer in Cabo. That’s like my favorite spot, and we sat there and talked for a while by the pool.

    You know, he’s misunderstood. He’s gotten into a little bit of trouble and had some issues. In this league and in professional sports, it’s easy for people to just judge young athletes, and I think he’s been a victim of that. Obviously, (if) you make mistakes, you had better be ready to take what comes with it. He’s kind of been judged and misunderstood, but the talent level is through the roof. He can do everything, and personally, he’s one of my favorite young players in the league. I’m just happy to see him getting an opportunity to just spread his wings."
