    It’s just so arbitrary. There is no consistency. What’s a foul one time down the court is a no call the next. It’s really damaging the game I think. The NBA needs to do better.

    In playoffs, you won’t get many wide open shots.
    He has to learn how to play under pressure if he wanna be superstar players.

    Raptors double and loaded on Jalen’s right hand. This is exactly what you would see in a playoff series. It honestly was a great game for his developmental.

    Yes but he has to work on his jumper, that opens up his game substantially.

    Raps coaches gameplanned to limit Jalen by doubling him and playing physical in every game since the pre-season. Their crew also keep boning him on the box-score. Didn't even count that crazy chase-down block on the official box score.

    On the last play, Drake had that mischievous up-to-no-good look.

    technically Green only took 6 shots. I'm not counting One 80ft heave, 2 attempted dunks on missed shots and an attempted lay up where he was tackled. You have to find a way to get him open. There were no screens, just one on one from the corner where he kept slipping and they kept crowding. But it's good film to watch with the a-hole Lucas and improve.

    Josh Christopher is also a bucket. Wouldn't mind turning some of those Tate/Matthews minutes into Jabari Smith minutes.

    Poor play making ability by kpj + lack of offense sets from silas designed for Green + aggressive tight defense by the raptors and u will see this type of performance.

    Getting a Top 5 pick and drafting some winners would be a bigger confidence booster. No team is going to develop a winning culture with Christian Wood or KPJ playing big roles.

    Lets say things go our way and we get Jabari Smith or Chet Holmgren. You already have Green and Sengun. No reason to have KPJ on the roster taking shots away from real talents.

    He's just not it. I was willing to give him until the end of the season to prove otherwise but unlike Green, he just doesn't have it.

    Garuba is more a talent than KPJ is.
