    This is what KPJ should have been doing since the first game

    These three plays should be what he tries to emulate every play of the game. Drive & finish or drive & pass it

    If the team doesn’t start off shooting well then he can iso a little bit but these clips are what he should be doing from the start of the game

    Nah I think if he just drove in more frequently and became a better finisher at the rim it would make a of things easier for other guys or at least the opportunity

    i think that’s really what all KPJ haters just want to see. These three clips 80% of the game

    Nobody hates him. He's just an idiot on and off the court

    Bro I was criticizing the man trying to see it from y’all’s side of the fence but let’s be honest KPJ looks like our best player not named Sengun so show some respect

    You can say the same thing about Sengun.

    Silas is the KPJ of head coaches? Should be a assistant like KPJ a 6th man?

    Sengun has one step before that. He needs to be placed in a way he can pass when players around him move. When he is placed he does it.

    To expand...We are the the worst team in the NBA. All KPJ does is lead to losses. I have been critical of Green and Smith too. KPJ has shown throughout his career he is a loser both on and off the court

    Yes. Silas should be an assistant and KPJ a 6th man

    As a previously known as KPJ hater, I'll say that based on what I've seen so far, KPJ's growth this year might be the best thing the Rockets have had going for them this young season.

    Sometimes though becoming a "good NBA player" also makes it more obvious what your long term role should be... and still not sure if that is #1 playmaker on a winning team. I think it's more obvious to me than ever he's a really good 6th man who often finishes games. He could definitely be Harden on OKC with two other star starter players. I don't see him ever as Harden on the Rockets.

    Needless to say I think alot of teams if not all of them would want KPJ on their team now when two years ago you couldn't say that at all since he was at that time a reclamation project.

    At later stage we would need Seniors, we have too many Juniors.

    KP junior, Smith Jr. Martin junior

    I hate repeating but KPJ is a third string in any other team. Even waived by Cavs :(

    The Cavs are a lopsided example, they have a set of brilliant guards, even Sexton who could be IMO a borderline All Star was expendable.

    Cmon man. I'm not the biggest KPJ fan but that had zero to do with talent.

    IMO Sexton is almost the same as KPJ in terms of skill level but a better scorer. Even he comes from the bench in Utah. That type of playstyle is only good if you bring it as a spark. You can read old comments about him how cavs fans criticize his game.

    I didn’t say anything about his talent but BBIQ and character are the main issues about him. Those things make him a third stringer for me. You can’t be the point guard of a winner team with such selfishness.

    None of the franchises will waive a player having massive potential and let him go for free.
