    I’m bullish on Jalen and Jabari’s potential, so I do believe this could change soon. Obviously if we draft Wemby, he’ll be our franchise player and best on the team

    I know that your only goals in life are to blow Sengun and whine about KPJ, and that's fine....but if you were honest, you'd admit that this season KPJ is at worst the second best player on the roster and he's got more a more well rounded skillset than anyone else on the team.

    Admitting that doesn't take away anything from your favorite player.

    Really good numbers for his age and experience playing the point. But can he be a leader and not a head honcho? It will be determined in the next 2 years.

    Difference is that I like KPJ, but I like others on the team as much. If he isn’t on the team, I won’t lose any sleep. If Sengun isn’t on the team, your whole world would come crashing down.

    None of which matters - NONE of it.

    **** where you were drafted, if you are a better player you play, teams that worry about draft position hold onto duds too damned long.

    If a player is better, they are simply better and they play, you want playing time? Beat someone out.

    Stop the bs. Sengun is everything to you and the thought of him not being on the team hurts you. EG was my favorite player and I wanted him gone bc I’m a rockets fan

    The issue is that there's no basketball reason for any Rockets fan to dislike KPJ. He's objectively one of the best players on the team.

    Typically those who don't like him are pearl clutching moralizers who get the vapours over things he's done in the past or player first/player only fans who wish their favorite players were doing better and need a scapegoat.

    I do wonder how you'll personally react when the Rockets land Wemby and move on from Sengun while keeping KPJ. I think the meltdown will be fairly hilarious. It's one of the things I'm most looking forward to this summer. I mean, I'll miss Sengun, but the comedy will make it worth it.

    You can make up BS all day long, doesn't make it true. In contrast to you, I have been on this site since before any of the players on the roster except Boban, Augustin, Kaminsky and Tate were even born.

    You are just here to crap on one particular player and to be a KPJ stan.

    Low IQ posters support low IQ players, smart posters usually like high IQ players. It's always been that way.

    Yeah man, it’s ridiculous. I’ve seen you try to make to point on RW, I be like YES!!! Also, people ignore the other side of the ball.

    I know way more about ball than you. The only thing you do on here is push the Sengun agenda, that’s it. You only support players who complement Sengun and differ to him

    In fairness, I'm sure there will be another Euro for him to crush on if the Rockets move on from Sengun.....and his irrational hatred for KPJ will keep him active.

    He should continue to provide unintentional comedy for years to come.

    He believes they’ll just move Jabari to the 3 lol. If Sengun is gone in that scenario, he’ll become the biggest Wemby hater

    I accidentally saw this post.

    There is a 14% chance of us getting Wemby.

    Then, Wemby doesn't even play the same position as Sengun.

    Then, we will have a new coach and coaching staff.

    One can never completely rule out our front office doing something stupid, so if we get to draft Wemby, there is maybe a 15% chance of them trading Sengun because of it.

    So your wet dream has about a 2% chance of becoming true.

    Regardless of that, KPJ is not anywhere close to being one of the best players on the team. He just gets to hold the ball a lot because Silas is a pushover.

    KPJ is a cancer, and he will be gone sooner rather than later.

    I'm sorry, I forgot that you once managed to dunk a girl's basketball. That clearly makes you an expert.

    He is one of the main reasons this team hasn’t played well. Too much over dribbling and wasted motions/actions. Too slow to read defenses and start an action. Makes up his mind on scoring or passing. Bad shot selection especially in critical situations or when team is down. He is supposedly a leader and vet on this team and a lead at the 1. The rest of the team feeds off of this and mirrors him in terms of slow development in the halfcourt and wasted actions.

    The Sengun/Wemby two way game would be spicy.

    Thing with Wemby is that hes a 7-3 small forward. Basically taller Durant is what everyone salivates over. In a lineup with Wemby/Sengun/Green/Jabari the team would need a real PG.

    Pretty impressive for a 5’9” guy, huh? You’ve said you’re 6’6” and can barely dunk. Like what?! Lmao
