    I'm not surprised you fail to understand what was said.

    Jalen Green and Jabari Smith are the worst performing players on the roster... the largest net negatives and close to the worst in the league (Jabari is actually THE worst)

    You can't be that negative unless you play a lot and almost no team is suicidal enough to play garbage like Jalen and Jabari big minutes, so that's how they end up at the very bottom.

    If someone like Nix was played those minutes and given that kind of a role, no doubt he'd be worse, as would quite a few players I imagine.... but that doesn't really change the fact that both Jalen and Jabari are well below replacement level.

    Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't but I DEFINITELY don't agree with calling our young guys garbage. It's true that Jalen and especially Jabari have had struggles this season, but to me a garbage player is one who is irredeemably bad and have no chance at even being flipped for assets (e.g. 2021 Danuel House and even with him I dunno about that label)

    And since he hedged his bet, the flip side would be
    ''I told you one day Green would become a quality NBA player''

    To be clear, I'm saying the overall level of performance has been garbage, it's still possible that they figure things out and perform better in the future.

    With House you had garbage performance with no hope of it ever getting any better. That's the difference

    So far Cam Thomas 7 points on 2/9 shooting in 3 quarters. Finally comes down to earth?

    According to JG4 ''dart throwing poster'' club he is 3 games short of reaching that 14 game threshold of prominence

    That elusive 14 game stretch is the ultimate measuring stick for those club members to predict what's to come in the future or the right now, depending on which dart throwing member you are addressing

    I pick Jalen Green. Cam is making 40 a night because he is taking all the shots who else is going to shoot….Simmons?

    Cam trying to fill in the Kyrie role? Nets FO will have to apologize for that one including an apology tweet from Cam.
