    Jalen Green should be moved to 6th man, he suits that role as a scorer, he is epically terrible on defense and really has no ISO game to speak of, at this point in his career playing him against other team's bench would allow him to flourish.

    KPJ is our PG, still developing and is arguably our best player, whether some of the ANTI-KPJ haters know it or not.

    Is there another NBA team that would trot KPJ out there as their starting PG?

    Man - I’m sorry to hear about your vision. It’s gotta suck to not be able to see. I hear your other senses get better though so chin up and keep fighting the good fight

    Sure, and those who already have a better PG, he'd start at the 2 or 3.

    Is there ANY other team that would start Jalen Green at any position? No....because he's terrible at basketball.

    Is there ANY other team that would start Eric Gordon at any position? No.....because he's washed.

    Is there ANY other team that would start Jabari Smith? Maybe? Probably not though.

    Why get caught up whining about KPJ when we have 3 of the worst players on our team starting beside him?

    I'm sure he'd start for the Jazz over Conley

    He'd probably start for the Lakers over their scrubs.

    He'd start for the Bulls for sure

    He'd start for the Clippers for sure

    He'd start for the Magic for sure

    I mean, That's just off the top of my head.

    ....what an intelligent statement and well thought out counter argument.

    Good job, you should be proud of yourself.

    Just make him a 3. No matter what the lineup, we're small anyway. Be it height or mass. It's a small team. Is T-Mac a point forward?

    No....our number 2 pick needs to get all the minutes he can this season and make all the stupid mistakes. Let Sengun play-make and Green play the SG with the starting unit.

    We need to move KPJ + Tate + JC/Garuba for Kuzma.

    Kuzma takes care of KPJ's scoring without dribbling the air out of the ball, but can still do some secondary and tertiary playmaking (more than latter) while doing everything else good to competently at a premium position.

    You put KPJ on a veteran team and he would do awesome.

    This entire team needs some veterans that will teach the young guys Eric Gordon is a selfish me first player not one to teach anything.

    2 years old and spot on still - he talks about how good KPJ is how talented he is......and for some reason this fanbase, can't or won't see it.

    The dude is legit, he just needs time and better shooting around him to take off....he is our best player right now....

    Others have pointed out his talent, Lebron, Damien Lillard....talent recognizes talent....
