    Why is the HC being asked about draft decisions? That’s a clown question

    that question should be reserved for Stone…maybe it can be asked the next time he just so happens to pop up around the trade deadline when he’s explaining away the Rockets subpar trades

    What does this have to do with Green?

    Are we still bringing up the Kobe when it's concerning Green, when they have very little similarities in game and stature?

    Stop doing that to the guy.

    It has everything to do with Jalen Green as that's who Shaq was speaking about,

    He's literally quoting Shaq on Jalen Green. What the **** does this have to do with Kobe? This is the thing, whilst all of you CF "experts" are calling Green a bust, most of the pundits are still saying he's going to lead the league in scoring one day. You'll have to forgive me if I take the opinions of people who are ACTUALLY paid to do this than random people on CF who evidently know a lot less than they think they do...

    This.

    If you don't think his performance has been underwhelming, you are not being honest with yourself.

    Of course his performance has been underwhelming, but that doesn't make him a bust. If you think he's a bust when all the people who actually do this for a living are saying he's going to lead the league in scoring one day, you're seriously deluding yourself on your evaluation abilities.

    Yo calm down dude I made a mistake, I thought he was talking about Kobe since people keep bringing up Kobe.

    There are not many people on CF calling him a bust, so I don't know why Bobby is bothering you so much.

    Can you link to these pundits who said he is gonna lead the league in scoring one dayand who are these pundits that opinions you hold so high?

    My mistake, but since when does anybody think Shaq knows what the hell he is talking about?

    Since when did I say he is a bust?

    No all the people who do this for a living are not saying that, you are being delusional.

    If I am wrong, provide 3 links from these guys who do it for a living.

    This thread is bizzaro world. You have posters in here deliberately falsifying stats to further their anti JG agenda. If he's as terrible as everyone claims why resort to making things up? Then any pro Green anything is met with vitriol. People don't even read before they star typing out some miserable response.

    Why should I do the work for you? There's plenty of people saying Jalen's going to lead the league in scoring, it's actually hilarious you think you can order me around, like I really give that much of a **** about you haha.

    You're really reaching now. One of the greatest basketball players of all time doesn't know anything about basketball? Are you actually serious, random no name who never made the league?

    While I’m in the camp that it’s still too early and hopeful Green turns into a good player the examples you gave and used are not only outliers but they don’t fit the same situation as Jalen Green. Lowry, Butler and Draymond were all late first round/2nd round picks not the #2 overall pick. When you take someone #2 overall the expectations for that player are going to be high. Nobody expects much if anything from guys taken in the 2nd round. With Green he’s supposed to be a guy that looks like a franchise player and a future stud. Even though it’s early I know… But as of this exact moment can you honestly say he does? I know I have my doubts.

    Again, I wanted Green and I want him to succeed but the odds of being a lottery bust and out of the league in 4 years are much much greater than the odds of someone becoming the next Jimmy Butler or Kyle Lowry. I’m not saying he’s going to be a bust but it’s a strong possibility that must be acknowledged. Most of the posters on this board are oblivious or in denial that such thing can happen to a player from their own team.

    There’s no reason to bring up Giannis (generational player) as an example unless you plan on being severely disappointed.

    Just like I thought you are just making **** up.

    Thanks for letting me know to not take you seriously.

    Good day sir!

    Y'all are clowns.

    The feeling's very mutual, I can't take anybody seriously who doesn't know how to use Google, or read.

    What about the posters making stuff up to prop up Green, there are more of them than people ragging on Green.

    This.

    LOL!

    I read stuff all the time, and nobody of note has said Green will still lead the NBA in scoring.

    It's amazing that you think anybody believs this.

    Name one guy and I will post it and admit I was wrong.
