    Just keep losing. We need to be no lower than 5th. San Antonio will be tough tankathon competition. By the time we play them they may be up to a 25 game losing streak.

    This statement is just silly. He is just a kid, literally. To even be REMOTELY fair you would need to compare his performance to others with similar age and experience. Most top notch famous players had similar or worse stats their rookie year. Look up Giannis for example.

    That's actually somewhat encouraging.

    Alpi was better at 19 than both, by the way.

    The age excuse..

    I'm not going to start with the Kobe, etc. Diff era and playing time they would receive vs Jabari. Giannis was also a 17th-18th pick.

    Lets look at top 3 players from years past.

    Anthony Edwards - 19
    Lamelo Ball - 19
    Zion - 19

    for every star you have the Jabari Parkers, Jahlil Okafor, Marvin Bagley, Wiseman, Turners, Favors.

    That is where Smith is at, he's on the tier of nba bench scrubs.

    So in the world of Dredd - Harden, Giannis, Durant and countless other stars were total scrubs not worthy of the NBA. The genius involved in your analysis is beyond us all.

    Additionally:
    -Silas admitted they have basically don't nothing to help him out on offense with sets or plays.
    - Rockets are stuck in outdated defensive structure/philosophies, so they ask him to do too much at his age/development to cover up weaknesses from the other players and the scheme. He simply is not refined enough to do any of that, and today's offenses are so good and precise that even the simplest mistake is exploited. (For example the NBA avg. offensive rating today is 114.4 which is basically about the rating of the 60 win 2017 Rockets and 3 of the GSW Warriors teams from 2014-2018.)
    - He has hit a rookie wall in terms of minute and games played, traveling, and fatigue.
    - Everything is probably come way still too fast for him right now because there is no structure or plan to have him build onto things over the course of the season.

    Who do you want to want to sign or trade for or draft then?

    You seem to like none of the guys in the draft. Negative about all

    You seem not like many of the players on the current team.
    Negative about most

    So what is your plan? What you would like to see happen. I have read you say someone on this board is dumb probably at least 20 times the last few months. So what? Inquiring minds all want to know

    Meanwhile, SOFs have been telling me that Sengun is actually a VERY GOOD defender and that Silas is a monster for calling him out. He's fast asleep in this clip.

    Arenas is mostly on point, but he forgot to mention the Spurs run under Duncan was filled with international players, which is why I feel it will be between the TX bottom feeders

    I mean Jahlil Okafor was in the running for ROY and had a pretty good rookie year lol.

    Jahlil got WORSE though...which...actually happens A LOT.

    Well wait, I wouldn't say he got worse but he never got better and as such he's 27 and playing in the Gleaugue.

    Point being, it's silly to put too much weight on a rookie season.
