    His effort level is **** for 3-4/5 games and he starts sulking after a no-call every damn time. I still think he's very talented but i expected way more from him. End of last year he wasn't shooting it well from 3 but he looked good attacking the basket. This year his drives are **** and his 3 is decent. I don't know what happened.

    He's also quite injury prone, he seems to be hobbled after every drive. I'm losing faith tbh.

    He's definitely regressed some from last season which is unfortunate. I've talked myself into being okay with giving him another year, but the clock is on.

    He doesn’t really jump unless it’s a dunk, it’s why he misses those ugly 1 hand flip layups so often … and he hates contact…so he makes easy finishes around rim way harder.

    He dribbles too much and isn’t prepared to make a pass if someone cuts / flashes open 90% of the time.

    He can’t be trusted to do anything but shoot in crunch time - decision making isn’t the greatest

    This is what I am thinking. Kids competitive and effort isn't a problem. Attitude is a problem. He gets down when things don't go his way and that's what leads to the effort bc he is sulking. He will drop his shoulders, or start sulking after turnovers, missed shots, missed calls. I am not sure if he can ever change that.

    For not being that great kpj sure gets a lot slack. You would think he was lebron or kd.

    I am patient, but Daishen Nix is not.

    Watch your back KPJ.

    Christian Wood is gonna be so mad when he reads this. You should put a small defender in front of you so he'll avoid you entirely.

    Almost one year later. I wonder if we will still be able to bump this again next year.

    The worst play was when Tate tried to help up Kevin Porter Jr and he brushed him off to stay on the ground under the basket. Christian Wood proceeds to get trapped at half court and call time out.

    It’s one thing to accept this kind of behavior from a superstar. It’s another to accept this behavior from a player of this caliber. It makes no sense. It feels like Silas is walking on egg shells with KPJ all the time. He really should be benched more often for this piss pour attitude.

    if they bench KPJr or try to go too hard, he is liable to spiral out of control

    he might go from throwing soup to handing out DDT’s and fists of fury to the coaching staff

    he is a loose cannon that could explode

    Would possibly be the most entertaining thing the Rockets have done this season if they bench him and he goes berko.

    I'm all for it, as long as there are cameras around to capture it lol

    He’s shown flashes but I don’t think he’s our PG. Need to move on from him, Wood, and Gordon.

    Start him and blow smoke up his ass for the rest of the 10 game season

    Trade him in the off season, before the draft.

    He needed to be traded to the Spurs, pops would have either straightened him out, or his ass would have been waived quick.

    Rockets we’re a terrible situation, KPJ needed structure, needed to be humbled, learn how to be a professional and a team player from a well ran organization top to bottom.

    Instead he got a clown show, pretending like he was a Harden replacement, treated like a superstar in the making day 1, instantly the teams main ball handler and complete green light on offense, rookie coach, rookie GM, trash owner, completely newb and constantly changing team with no buy in from any of the players.
