    KPJ a borderline all-star? That’s some serious cocaine laced koolaid right there!

    6th man role for him i guess. We'll bench him for a kid who is worse free throw shooter than Nic Claxton.

    End of an Error.

    It's funny ppl don't want Amen to start over KPJ because of his shooting but they wouldn't say the same if we drafted Scoot who had worse shooting than Amen.

    Who is he referring to? The Rockets certainly don’t. He will be starting this year. Amen will be coming off the bench unless KPJ doesn’t adjust to not being the head honcho.

    KPJ has all-star athleticism, but he is bad at basketball. 6th man at best, losing chucker at worst. Jamal Crawford-Dion Waiters range of outcomes. Trade him for size!

    Instead of asking for a trade he will just deliver a championship

    Maybe. Not sure he reads Clutchfans, maybe he reads Twitter. There are plenty of other people who point out his flaws.

    In any case, another tweet that shows that for him, it's all about him - not the team.

    Trade his ass.

    Hell watch Rockets Watch most of the people there think he is trash, or not good enough for anything more than a 6th man at best.

    KPJ made some good strides last season, but he has a long way to go to be "borderline all-star". He increased his efficiency by over 3 percentage points which is nice, but still a poor defender and too high a turnover % especially for a PG. I'd say he's like a top 90 guy in the league right now.

    I wonder how Ime will use him, as with everyone else!

    His stats as a 22 year old player are outstanding - he is going to be a star in houston or somewhere else

    That was Silas, no one moved off the ball, other than KMJ and Mathews - basically KPJ and Green went 1v5 every possession wait until you see how different they all look with an Ime system.

    i am older than most so am looking at KPJ as a 22 year old vs others at his same age and he compares very well to the Murrays, the SGAs, the FVV, and many many others he is on track to be an all star at 25

    Every great passing big man needs another full on playmaker on the court with them (Curry, Murray, Fox).

    We cannot expect Sengun to carry that heavy a responsibility if Draymond, Jokic and Sabonis can’t do it.
