No, they said that about Jalen Green, hilarious as that seems today. With Suggs, it was always said that he'd struggle due to not being a good shooter. Or maybe you were listening to the wrong people. I was telling you that Suggs would struggle due to not being able to shoot and that Green had by far the highest bust potential.
In the context of you trying to blame the fact that Green is the worst player on the team on KPJ.... Every player who has struggled has some effect on the team's struggles, but no player has hurt the team more than Green.
Pretty ironic that the #2 and #4 guards are looking the same. Suggs was supposed to be the most NBA ready. I think they are both struggling with the physicality imposed by the new NBA rules while just being more raw than expected.
I think he is our BEST offensive player, but he is so TERRIBLE on D, just no effort, and his attitude when he doesn't get the ball is downright petty. I love his skills, but he is NOT a leader, nor does he have leadership hold them accountable qualities...IMHO. DD
Well, not among smart people it wasn't. Perhaps there were some talking heads saying it.....the same kinds who were hyping up Jalen Green. My own analysis and the analysis of people I trust never thought that a PG who can't shoot was "NBA ready", they always pointed out that he'd struggle till he learned how to shoot. That's why I'm not surprised that he can't shoot, and that's why I'm not surprised that Jalen Green is struggling......I've pointed out all along that he wasn't even a net positive on the court to his G league team, so there's no way he'd be a net positive to an NBA team any time soon. So maybe you should listen to better sources in future.
@Clutch Do you see Tillman as being patient enough to see this through? Or will he start trying to bring in marginal players as our rookies flounder just to get some wins? I don't see the Toyota Center getting full anytime soon, and we all know how cost conscious the Fertita's are. DD
I see you struggle with "listening to the wrong people" If a group of morons tells you that their interpretation is a "consensus", it doesn't mean that they are the people you should be listening to. Now that we all see those group of morons were wrong, I'm suggesting you find different people to listen to in future.
3 seasons of intentional losing, but we will have another 3 years of unintentional losing. We may end up losing some more after that both intentionally and unintentionally. More than half of the Franchises have had playoff droughts of 7 season or more during their history. The Kings haven't been to the playoffs in 15 years.
I love seeing reality set in for a lot of posters here. How many people were clamoring for a rebuild? This is what a rebuild looks like and it's ugly. James Harden, T-Mac, Yao....those players don't grow on trees and it may be a long time before we get another one.
That's not a lie. It was obvious Green wasn't NBA ready, and I thought Mobley would take longer to show enough on offense to be the ROY. It was always going to be one of the top picks to win it, that's just how the NBA media works, so I thought Cade and Suggs would have the best shot. I clearly underestimated Mobley and Barnes.
Still struggling with “consensus”….. Do terms like “average”, “median”, and “mean” also equally confuse you?
