That might be correct. It should have been framed more as everyone else on the team is better when he’s less ball dominant.
AKA... Tank Mode! But hey he's a year older. Maybe Udoka can get him to act his age. Heading into his 5th yr so we'll see.
@Bobbythegreat is just one person. You are making CF look worse by making it seem like multiple people cannot comprehend age, when it's actually just one person.
U would b surprised by the mental gymnastics kpj stans would go to defend him. Booby isn't the only one.
Odd.... we have some very smart people that have been saying KPJ was 23 for months now.... how could his 23rd birthday be today?
Now that it's true? Yes. We can't agree to it when it's false because that would make us stupid. Can we also agree that KPJ was 22 this past season and Jalen Green will turn 22 next season?

As long as you agree that Jalen was born in 2002 and KP was born in 2000, and that they came into the league 2 years apart and KPJ has 2 additional years of NBA experience. Those are the facts. And I don't care how many minutes KPJ got his rookie season, if it was low that's all on him for being a locker room headache and cancer. Jalen isn't.
His teammates can't shoot. The Rockets are a better team when he looks to score first pass 2nd.....and if his teammates get more efficient the team will really take off. DD
I'm just trolling - but he isn't "Scoot", there is a better player that goes by Scoot.... I hope KPJ has a long career and continues to grow........ on another team. Maybe he can go to China and become a legend like Stephon Marbury.
I get that you're trolling... but there's really not a better player calling themselves "Scoot". You could say there's one more hyped.... but that's kind of like how Jalen Green was massively overhyped yet he isn't even the best player from his rookie class on his own team... he's not even the best 23 and under guard on his own team. Hype is fine, but actual performance is great.
That is fair, Scoot Henderson hasn't played in the NBA yet - but IMO KPJ will need to look for another nickname if Henderson ends up on the Rockets. I would like to see KPJ be a 6th man, where he can utilize his shooting.
Lol how would that help "utilize his shooting"? He'd have to run the second unit just like he has to run the first unit. I'd like to see Jalen Green develop into a combo guard so KPJ can utilize his shooting. If Green is capable, he'd have a hell of a lot better weapon helping him than KPJ ever did.
Thats weird. BBallRef has Kevin Porter Jr nicknames listed as: KPJ, Scoot, Scooter and Black Joker. Hmmmm. I guess they didnt realize there is only one Scoot in the world! This is a PERFECT example how the kid has been treated by fans of this team. It doesnt matter what topic - it WILL devolve into a moral authority or infallible fan vision for greatness! LOL
