    Factually inaccurate if you take the season as a whole. He's had a few good games and was absolutely terrible in the rest.

    Lying about it doesn't make anything better.... we just need to hope he starts stringing decent games together more often.

    I mean, exactly. I think you were agreeing here. I wasn’t the one to predict that Green won’t be a superstar as if that’s some revelation. Shaq was the one who said, and I quote, “he will DEFINITELY be a superstar”.

    Why we are all of a sudden holding Shaq of all people to his word as if he hasn’t been talking out of his ass for years now, I have no idea. But that’s what the Green Beans are grasping to now. All I said was, fat chance. Actually, ZERO chance. Which I’m glad you agree, finally someone with some sense.

    Good point. Will Marcus Morris have a better career than Jalen Green? I think that’s the more relevant question that we should be asking ourselves.

    Tired of this KPJ project. Driving to the hoop indecisively with a wide angle and afraid to make contact with defenders coming to a dead stop at the elbows or low block area pivoting then throwing it away to the other team is not winning basketball.

    Not really. Giannis rookie campaign was so lousy Michael Carter Williams won rookie of the year.

    Giannis made all rookie 2nd team along with Gorgui Deng and Cody Zeller.

    He averaged 6.8 points, his 10.8 PER was the worst of any Bucks regular. But yeah his rookie season "FAR better" - if only Jalen Green were averaging 7 points a game on terrible efficiency, I'm sure you'd shut up and **** right off, yes?

    Why don't you just stop posting about this - it's so boring reading you tired old dorks with the same **** endlessly and people replying to it.

    I would love to stop posting about this, I’m literally posting numbers others are asking for. And yes, Giannis had far better win share, far better bpm, far better defense, and then grew like 3 inches.

    the point was never that you had to be great your rookie year to become a superstar. It was, no one ever as bad as Green became a superstar. Get that through your heads

    Green is assisted on 44% of his twos and 66% of his threes…rookie year Butler assisted on 66% of his twos and the 2 threes he hit in 42 games…so despite basically being spoonfed everything while playing most of his minutes in garbage time, he was still complete ass

    now let him be a regular 30 mpg guy on a terrible team and do anything more than get garbage buckets, his little PER and WS would plummet

    Dirks 1st 2 months as a rookie, he shot 36% from the field and 19% from 3 with garbage defense, and that was with him having a tiny role in the offense…Lord have mercy if he was given major minutes and a lot of shots

    Curious what are you basing your assessment from? Just pure numbers? Or just your opinion/conjecture. And how can you possibly be so sure? Now you see if you gave me in game examples of why he isn’t good and will never amount to anything as you say then awesome I’d love to hear your analysis!

    63% of his 2s for Butler you mean. Green is assisted on 55% of his shots. 63% vs 55%, is really not that huge a difference

    What a stupid AF time to be crapping on KPJ.

    You do realize he helped seal tonight's win right?

    He also played amazing team ball, efficient offense and tough defense tonight.

    I haven’t seen any real analysis of his play. Instead only numbers are used to make the assessment.

    You used to pretend to know basketball.

    We are both disappointed.

    You do also know that is KPJ’s signature move right? Driving stopping getting trapped pivoting then throwing it away or flipping it up in an airball layup right? Lol

    Professor @Reeko taking the kids to school. You love to see it.

    To be fair he also thought Marcus Morris would be a stud.
