yeah, that’s it: two disappointing high picks from the last two years. I bet Pistons fans are all, "if he develops this and this and that…". That’s a valid point, many players develop, late bloomers, etc… BUT is not good as a plan. You need to find the best path with the ingredients you have at hand
It's not only bold, it's patently false. Even if he doesn't improve at all he's leagues ahead of Darko's production, right now, with ease.
not at all! Darko was a defensive big with some decent rim protection skills and bad to mediocre in all,other areas. Green is just plain bad.
Which is pretty obviously. So you just wanted to find two disappointing guards that were high drafts picks and tell us how the fan bases are wanting them to develop? Player development isn't a good plan? You need to work with what you have? What the hell does that mean?
Of course u would come in with nothing to add but insults. I thought your brewer comparison was dumb as fk but the guy u r replying 2 is taking Green analysis to the next level in absurdity. Imagine projecting a mere rookie halfway into season to becoming the next biggest bust in modern nba history "if he doesn't improve". The funny thing is folks like u btch at others who said outlandish stuff like the next Kobe and sht, u and newage just on the other side of the spectrum. Like I said some folks just want to ego stroke on how right they were in Green analysis rather than just want Rocket rookies to succeed.
Ironic thing about Killian is that he had real pro basketball experience prior to being drafted, and still is who he is. Jalen is more raw therefore has more potential to develop.
I still have all the faith in the world in JG. Give it some time and patience. This is all starting to become eerily reminiscent of when Boston drafted Jaylen Brown at #3 back in 2016. He was quickly deemed a bust and booed early on. Celtics brass knew Brown was a wonderful athlete and were banking on his high character and work ethic propelling him to greatness. Brown's flourishing now, but it took until his fourth year in the league before he truly had that breakout season. From this point onward it's all about how much Green is willing to sacrifice to be great. I'm here for it.
Of course YOU thought it was dumb.....because you think Green is Kobe.....which is dumb. When you see the worst rookie in the class is is more "dumb" to say "if they don't significantly improve they are going to be a mediocre player" or to keep suggesting that they are going to be a HOFer?
Your argument is based on how the teams treated the players, not based on their skills. They didn't push Brewer like they are pushing Green. They made Brewer earn his minutes rather than just forcing him into the starting lineup and feeding him shots and minutes where he's playing terrible to pad stats.....that's what is happening for Green. In a normal situation, Green would almost never even sniff the court because he's been the least deserving rookie of minutes in the entire class. It's also hilarious that in the same post you say "I suppose when you have no supporting evidence, just toss **** at the wall." you then whine like a b**** about how I was mean to a troll several years ago.....kinda sounds like tossing **** at the wall, no? Again though, I know there's a couple of you that simply aren't intelligent enough to follow conversations with ANY nuance to them. You need there to be nothing but definitive, absolute statements....unfortunately for you guys, most people are smart enough to avoid those kinds of statements when projecting rookies. You'll just have to accept the fact that there will be a lot of "if X then Y" comments.....and they don't just mean "definitely Y" I know, I just blew your mind. Sit down for a while, read through this a few times and see if you can work out what I said. Good luck.
Where have I ever said Green is the next Kobe? look up my posts I have never even said that. Like i said before any folks that come to the defense of Green and call u out for your bias behavior, u group as a Greenie only fan. The only reason why I am even defending Green is cause I find folks like u quite hypocritical and cause he's a rockets rookie. Shts on posters believing Green to be the next Kobe but sees nothing wrong with predicting him a bust when the rookie hasn't even finish the season The fact u haven't realize how much of a hypocrite u and folks like u are acting doesn't surprise me.
Honestly, I don't pay you guys enough attention to know which one of you is which. There's a handful of you guys that simp hard for Jalen Green and throw temper tantrums when people make rational statements about him that are grounded in reality. If you don't happen to be one of those who are on the "Jalen is the next Kobe" bandwagon, awesome for you...but you should work to distance yourself from the rest of those morons. Also, I'm not even projecting him to be a "bust" when I say that if he doesn't significantly improve he'll be just the next Corey Brewer.....Brewer stuck around for a LONG time in the league and was a positive player to quite a few teams he was on. Right now, Jalen Green is one of the worst players in the entire league. He's single handedly the biggest reason why the Rockets have a shot at another top draft pick....if they had just said "pass" at #2 last year, they'd end up with a worse pick in the next draft. He's THAT bad right now....that's why I don't have much time for the simps throwing temper tantrums. Just accept that he looks absolutely terrible right now and join the rest of us in acknowledging reality while hoping that he bounces back and figures it out one day.
So build around Green? I don't think we are there yet.... we are still in the get talent part of the rebuild. Green is only half way into his rookie season, it seems very premature.
Oooooh, so it's really about how the teams USED the players, not their actual PRODUCTION or the TYPE of player. How convenient.
yes, I remember. Hopefully it’s Ja(y)len thing… Question: what site gives you these probabilities? What is Green breakdown now?
That is why I have been advocating moving KPJ. The pieces aren’t right. The chemistry isn’t right. Green needs a pg that can defer to him while at the same time make plays. Green’s development can only move forward being put to the fire in situations where he is the focal point and playmaker for this team. Waiting around for KPJ to dribble for 6 seconds, standing in the corner, or getting the ball at the wing because Wood and KPJ dumped it off with no where to go isn’t developing this young player with great potential. Fox couldn’t play with Heild starting. Garland wasn’t his best playing with Sexton. Kobe had Fisher who understood his role and didn’t need the ball in his hands. Nix played well with Green on Ignite and I’m really interested to see where this tandem can go in the NBA.
..... yeah, if one player is forced to earn their time, meaning they get very few minutes, they won't have an opportunity to load their stats like they would if they were just started every game, played 30+ minutes, and force fed shot attempts. Why did I have to spell that out to you?
