As sophomores who joined the NBA at 19, do you believe they are finished products and are who they are for the rest of their careers? Or does every franchise player need to have year one and two akin to Luka and LeBron?
SOF's faint! -- in the end you might be right. I think its still too early to tell, but thats why this team is tanking on purpose to see if they can find that guy who can go get it from day 1. Stone could very well see things the way you do. I think once we can add a couple of vets to stabilize the team it SHOULD look way better, but even that is not a given.
There is no way a roster like this can win games. Teams that tank before concentrate on like 4 young developing players who have promise and surround them with experienced guys. We have an entire 9 man rotation of developing players and JaeSean Tate. No coach can make a roster like that win. Green and Sengun have to score with their entire team being out of position, running into the wrong areas, taking up space etc. Every time Green gets to the rim it's like 59 traffic at the Galleria.
I don’t care about winning. I want to see basketball played the right way and guys competing. Wins will come. And BTW with all these underdeveloped guys we’re 10-9 the past two years without Green. That’s a stat, you know. People can’t help but think he is the cancer here…
Oh wow does that include the 7 game winning streak led by developmental projects of Christian Wood, DJ Augustine and Eric Gordon? Literally 95% of the rotation now didn't even exist during that win streak. That rotation was actually chalk full of vets. What a absurd out of context stat. Hey what's the win loss record for the Rockets this season when Sengun isn't playing?
I'd like to see how the team would play with Green out for 2 weeks and KPJ back... but I'm worried they'd win too many games and blow up the tank.
Yeah....and those people who got the 7 game win streak without Jalen could barely win any games at all with him before that injury....and went back to their losing ways the second our tank commander was back healthy. No one harms the team more with their godawful play than Jalen Green over the past 2 seasons....though Jabari is starting to come close to that now. If you merely removed Jabari and Jalen from the team before the season, the Rockets would have more wins right now than they do. You can go on and on about what potential you think those guys have, but right now they are flat out terrible.
This season with the actual roster full of development projects where 8 out of 9 rotation spots are for development players the Rockets without Green 2-2 the Rockets without Sengun 3-2 Win/loss record without the two respective players in debate here is not the best argument to use in favor of Sengun
We just can't have nice things lol Always have to pit one player against the other. A Clutchfans tale as long as time.
Sengun only fans will sht on any player that takes sengun shine away, currently its green. Mobley stans posing as kpj stan sht on green cause they need to lash out to relieve their frustration that they don't have Mobley. Smith is just getting bashed left and right while being put in a shtty situation 24/7 btch fest while ignoring the small positives our youngsters do. Things were simpler when it was just harden haters vs everybody else. Oh and everybody hates silas. Next season is gonna b even more chaotic.
Or another way to say this, the two worst performing players on the team, Green and Smith are getting bashed by Rockets fans and Sengun fans for performing terribly....and a handful of Jalen Green simps are upset about it wanting everyone to ignore their play 99% of the time and only focus on the 1% of the time when they aren't completely awful.
First, my post was made in jest. Second, your opinion about these players isn’t any more valid than anyone else’s. No every franchise player isn’t going to come out of the gates putting up hall of fame numbers. Just like not every young guy becomes a star just with time to grow.
