    I agree. He felt the need to tell in the beginning that English was not his primary language, but he wrote generally with perfect grammar. He then added some stupid spelling mistakes or typos, which he thought would show him as Turkish. Second language speaking does not cause typos, it causes grammatical errors ( like in my sentences lol).

    Jabari has to become consistently good at shooting for that but those days are coming.

    I don't think you really understand what the talent levels are for the average 19-20 year old NBA players actually are. Watch other players that are Green's age and then you will see that he is in a rare class of shot creating and creating space. Did you not see how easily he blows by Ja Morant, arguably the fastest player in the league? What makes Green fans excited is the trajectory he is on, he's improved every year as a basketball player in every league he's played in since high school.

    Even on a rebuilding team with a bunch of rooks and sophomores we have player fan clubs and factions. Just bizarre. NBA fans gonna NBA.

    I had concerns about Green's ability to be a true franchise player before we drafted him because he is physically limited defensively, he isn't a great passer or rebounder. Essentially, his upside was to be an incredible scorer and hopefully improve as a playmaker and defender.

    It is becoming apparent that Green is going to be at least a Donovan Mitchell type player, and scorer. He is averaging 24 points a game and doesn't turn 21 years old for another few months. He isn't Harden, but he is likely going to average 28 points a game or more in his prime.

    The question is whether or not he will improve enough as a defender and shot creator to become a franchise player, or if he is more of the Alex English, George Gervin or Donovan Mitchell.

    Definitely. His ability to create seperation and his jump shot creating gravity eventually will hopefully make him a good playmaker because he is very capable of collapsing defenses with his seperation ability. He just needs to learn to make the proper reads when that happens.

    I have a theory of who it might be, based on past CF history with this same exact approach (faking poor English) and his general evaluation of players. Banned long ago and only heard from on Twitter in the last couple of years.

    He wrote in German that he was born in Afghanistan but moved to Bochum in Germany at 6 years old and has grown up there. The poster seems to be real to me and not a duplicate account, because the typos he made in German and the colloquial language make it quite clear that that was not Google translated. @Yung-T perhaps you can chime in, but seems actually legit to me, contrary to my initial assumption.

    Yes he sounds 100% real based on the colloquial language and small spelling errors (which many Germans or migrants do) that you wouldn't have with Google translate.

    Sorry folks, no conspiracy theory to see here and definitely not the fake Greek user we once had.

    I mean, he's only scoring 24 points a game as a 20 year old. *** that guy and his 48% 3PT average!
