To extend KPJ or not?

Two guys that can both create and finish.

Well yeah, but there has to be ball movement. Those two have to get the others involved. Can't be ALL dribbling and iso. Gotta have a balance and play as a team.

 

I'm fine with cp3 type dribbling but this is Steve Francis type dribbling IQ. Trying to do some flashy dumb stuff

 

Have I wandered into the House of Pies forum?

 

As I've continued to say; they don't want him. That's why he doesn't have an extension despite what his rabi fan base thinks

 

Maybe I'm still half asleep here..

I don't get the reference.

Context?

 

You probably don't live in Houston...

theDude is wicked.

 

47 yrs.

I know the H.O.P.

Just don't know the dude's point.

@theDude

 

You've heard of the House of Pies but have you heard of the "House of Guys"?

That's the reference.

It's like saying you've heard of Starbucks when someone is talking specifically about "Big Gay Starbucks"

In those 47 years in Houston you clearly haven't had that many gay friends it seems.

 

Read it again. I got it now.

LOL

 

LOL.

Thanks for making my point.

You are actually talking about 72 points across 70+ games and then saying we would have won 5 more games in a season we had the most losses, so those 5 games were meaningless.

You are talking about spreading 24 shots made across 70 games so that's less than .5 shots a game which really makes no difference.

 

Are you really propping an argument based on hitting 24 more shots over 70+ games?

Or was the 5 more wins really that compelling for you?

 

Are you actually trying to make the argument that efficiency doesn't matter? Who cares if a guy shoots 32% or 36% from 3?

 

Jalen Greens TS% was 54.7%. Not awful for a rookie, but for a number 1 scoring option on an NBA team, pretty awful.

72 more points on the season would have put him at 58.1% TS. A respectable efficiency for a number 1 scoring option.

It’s a pretty sizable difference.

 

Should've been a poll here because the results would be hilarious.

 

Is it a pretty sizable difference or just a good data point to bolster an argument?

I don't see how 72 more shots made over 82 games is a sizable difference, and none of these numbers mean a lot when a team is this bad.

 

Good question. You should create one.

 

I guess he wants this guy back.

Spoiler

 

Hard part is that there are really 2 questions being asked here:

1. Should KPJ be extended?
2. How much should KPJ be extended for?

I would assume most people would say "Yes" or "I wouldn't mind" for the first, myself included. The second part is a subject of debate where some believe he will blow up next season and achieve superstar status so we should extend him accordingly and others (like me) who believe he hasn't actually proven anything and if we DO extend him, should be by what he has done minus some for behavioral risks.

 

u got embarrassed…it’s obvious u are way out of your depth when trying to talk about stats…find a new lane
