    TyTy is going to be the one to save me from the Rockets perennial terrible decision making PG conundrum.

    Alston -> Lin -> KPj -> Christopher

    Titty really didn't have a very good game overall, but he had a few moments.

    KPJ is still the starting pg for this team.

    From watching TyTy, he's definitely a keeper. But KPJ is definitely a tier or two ahead of him in terms of talent.

    TyTy seems to have a good head on his shoulders. If KPJ loses his starting spot, it would because KPJ did something stupid again and the team trusts TyTy's stability more.

    The only person on the roster that can overtake KPJ is KPJ. If he’s realized this and matured we are golden in the backcourt.

    I just dont really see the "talent" in KPJ. I think he's serviceable or above average. He's not particularly explosive, moreso crafty. Players like that rely on supreme basketball IQ (Harden, CP3) to be anything more than serviceable.

    TyTy on the other hand looks much more in control. He surveys in a way that KPJ doesn't. He wants to make the right play vs KPJ who still hasn't shown me any ability to want to do that. KPJ reminds me more of the Westbrook style of "playmaker" in that he forces passes instead of having them come organically like a Paolo or Cade.

    This is awesome. The fact that he reacted to it on Twitter is even better.

    I think Tony Parker is a good comp for his ceiling

    Very heady player..not overly flashy but effective with his movement and well-rounded...of course float game was on point

    Reminds me a little bit of a young Sam Cassell.

    Someone needs to start a "Man...We got lucky with TyTy Washington" thread.

    I wanted us to draft a PG this time (after taking one of the top 3 bigs). I knew we wouldn't be able to get Ivey. Washington was the next best thing. I thought we weren't getting him when we traded down to 29. But we did. What a luck!

    I have not been disappointed with him so far. Very promising.
