KPJ: Can someone explain to me why he has become Clutchfans favorite whipping boy?

The statistics might say the team can’t shoot but as we all know…

Lies! Damned lies and statistics!

 

Where do you see his absolute ceiling? Is a bigger Lou Williams in the cards? For me personally his current impact is reminding me a lot of Ricky Davis, and that’s not ideal

 

You know, its to bad you arent running things in the rockets or even coaching, I assume and can kinda see how you have a connection to the inside. Funny thing is , there are several problems with both the roster and coaching and you have given good answers on how to fix all of them. I'd actually say I would replace stone or silas with you, not kissing your ass because I usually think I'm the "smartest person in the room" so I usually never give a poster props, but damn even the small unnoticeable problems I see with this organization, that most posters don't even notice, I can see you have a finger on it also. There is a ton of things wrong with the org inside and out and I don't like to speak about it on here because the casual wouldn't understand what I see. But you see it to. Props.

 

That would be stupid. Young teams are gonna lose anyway. KPJ as pg or not we wouldnt be very good but we would be developing them properly. Either way you slice it just seems like the FO and coaching staff seem to have no idea what they are doing.

 

Everything about him is trash but his weird fan base of 6 are so stupid that they can't see it

 

He's so bad

 

Happy holidays!

 

If KPJ is in your rotation and he isn't the 7th - 12th player coming off your bench your team will be doing a lot of losing.

 

Very interesting.

Looks like the org knows better than the peanut gallery!

Isn’t this another on/off stat where kpj enjoys his replacement is Nix.

 

This is a really interesting stat, it doesn't necessarily mean that KPJ is doing well, but it does mean that he's doing better than his alternatives. What it's saying here is that the team's overall shot quality is significantly higher with KPJ on the court compared to KPJ off the court, so it's a direct comparison between KPJ and non KPJ lineups. We haven't seen enough Tyty for his minutes to be statistically significant, so it's mostly a comparison against Nix, but this does make it pretty clear that the team as constructed is better with KPJ than without it. The offense definitely gets worse when he sits.

 

The most interesting thing to me is that Haliburton and Harden somehow aren’t on this list.

 

Yeah as for Harden, I guess Shake Milton dumping it to Embiid every possession is still getting really good shots? And Tyrese Maxey is really really good, so I can see those non Harden minutes still being really productive. But for Halliburton...no idea there. That one is odd. Is TJ Mconnell the secret weapon?

 

Obvious to people who watch basketball and know what they are seeing, shocking to most in the GARM.

 

So KPJ is better than Nix. I don’t think it’s shocking to anybody.

 

I don't think it's shocking to anyone that KPJ is better than Nix, or better than an Eric Gordon/Garrison Matthews backcourt. Maybe shocking to people who don't understand what the stat is saying?

 

it is a replacement and line-up stat, presented as a individual stat. Doesn’t really say much about the reason. They could have more balanced line-ups or good replacements or an alternative good offensive scheme when they are out.

 

But he’s in good company.

 

Small sample size, not a reliable source of data.

Basically if we had say cp3 as a backup instead of nix then kpj would be in the negative instead of positive? It has nothing to do with his actual play?
