    What makes you say he can be an elite 3 and d wing? has he ever shown any ability/willingness to defend good wings?

    Potential has nothing to do with willingness

    It is not his 3rd year as a PG. He has played one full season as a PG and this season. I am no KPJstan, but this is a fact.

    It's not true but let's assume it is. Have you seen him developed anything from previous year in terms of playmaking?

    It is true. KPJ did not start playing PG until last year.

    People ALWAYS remember the negative. That's how they keep you down!

    Yep. They threw him into the fire and said "We drafted Jalen. We want you both on the floor together. We think you would be a better PG than him. Here you go. Have fun. Learn as you go at a position you have never played before."

    What position do you think he played for the Rockets in 20/21?

    But whatever, we have seen enough. TyTy is a better POINT GUARD than KPJ is, after KPJ has played almost 100 games at the position in the league, it is clear.

    No he did not. John Wall was the point in 2021. Along with Avery Bradley and DJ Augustin. KPJ was a SG for the entire 26 games he played with the Rockets

    Because TyTy has been playing the position all his life. KPJ has had no one on this team to be able to teach him how to be a PG. They should have had Wall play last year and KPJ come off the bench as the 2nd PG so he would have at least been mentored some. Or at least hire a damn coach who knows how to develop a PG.

    He was playing SF iirc. We had Harden in the beginning, then John Wall, Dipo and Augustin

    Nope. KPJ didn't play for the Rockets until Feb of 2021. Harden was long gone.
