    Of course you trade him. I'd be open to KPJ as a 6th man but we've already been through it and isn't gonna happen, he won't accept a bench role. We are stuck watching him try to play PG until he is traded or Silas is fired.

    People arguing about PG, when the NBA has moved on from that old thinking.

    So far KPJ this year:

    47.8% touches over 6 seconds Avg 6.8 FGA FG%: 29.6% 3P%: 75% 2P%: 21.7%

    39.1% of time he dribbled more than 7 times
    Avg 8.3 FGA FG%: 33.3% 3P%: 50
    2P%: 33.3%

    Shoots high 3% But bulk of his 3FGA are from 0 dribbles (1.3) and 3-6 dribbles (1.8). Bulk of his 2 pt FG occurs when he dribbles 7+ times.

    Bulk of his 2FGA occurs over 6 seconds of holding the ball and bulk of his 3FGA occur when he holds the ball 2-6 seconds (1.3 3FGA).

    The trend of holding the ball continues leading to low FG% and EFG%. Less holding more passing please.

    KPJ is a good player on a bad team. On a great team his usage would need to be about a quarter of what it is now while coming off the bench.

    **** man, I think If you lowered his dribbling he could be a starter on a good team. Put him on Denver and he would be amazing.

    You certainly think about DD a lot. And his mouth in particular? Might want to do some self-evaluation.

    No white knight. You’ve just clogged multiple threads with multiple posts about him. It’s sad and annoying.

    We aren't talking about this game.

    KPJ was great tonight. In fact, he has been great all season.

    If you want to be his friend you can message him nicely,

    the audacity to call out someone hating on anybody that calls KPJ out …! Damn man. If I didn’t know any better this probably isn’t a forum. Ask his buddy @Margrave what he thinks too. Curious to hear

    Dude, you need a hug so bad, a friend someone that cares about you. Following me around like a lost puppy dog taking cheap shots, hoping I notice and give you the attention you need.

    Just try to enjoy the game a bit, and enjoy the individual improvement from our players.....

    Dude. I post here once a month now, and if it involves calling out a stupid take it doesn’t have to be all about you. I get that projection is a defense mechanism but man…the irony here lol

    if you recall correctly you’re the one that’s been sending me DMs crying about how your feelings get hurt which admittedly I was surprised about …thinking who cares? Believe it or not KPJ sucking has absolutely nothing to do with you, but as Clutch pointed out once *prior to banning you, you feel the need to turn topics that separate from you into about you. If you don’t like the heat stop vomit posting in threads gluing yourself to stupid takes routinely

    I seriously can’t fathom why else someone would take the time to make an alt to agree with their online persona or message someone privately saying they keep getting their feelings hurt. It’s pretty sad actually

    Wish you mentioned his percentages and other solid contributions... 5 turnovers would a nice starting point.

    Experience? When KPJ came here nobody blamed his lack of experience after bad play. Sengun put on a pedestal?
