KPJ: Can someone explain to me why he has become Clutchfans favorite whipping boy?

I was looking at last year. I didn't do the math, basketball reference did...

Also, Jalen has started more games in the nba than KPJ and only played 1,188 minutes fewer.

Stop defending bad basketball.

We had one of the worst teams and Jalen played the most minutes, took the most shots, and had the highest usage rate on the team.

You're just embarrassing yourself.

But since you mentioned it..

Jalen has 2.5 WS in 4,740 minutes.
KPJ has 2.7 WS in 5,928 minutes.

But thank you for something other than the points per game under certain age number the only fans always cite...

 

You're welcome. Most young guys in their 2nd year do. Welcome to reality.

 

Are we discussing Jabari or Tari now?

 

Great now compare JG's first 2 years to Porter's. Actually ck his 2nd yr to Porter's 3rd.

Thank you for your input on embarrassment.

LOL

 

.21 to .34

They both stink. Is that the point you are making?

I do find it amusing you think Green and Porter are comparable while you trash porter.

You're basing Green being better than Porter on WS?

Porter was better in WS LAST YEAR.

So thank you for agreeing with me that Porter is currently better.

Sengun was roughly 4 times the WS per 48 last year. He's several months younger.

You must be all onboard with Sengun being better than Green...

I agree...

See? We think very similarly...

 

If you were curious, Green's TS% last season was lower than KPJ's career TS%.


Since you like to match random years, here's one...

KPJ at 19: .535 ts%
Green at 20: .538 ts%

 

Shared the facts. You're comparing a dude with 4 yrs as opposed to 2. You're bringing up last year when one is 2 seasons slight of the others.

I think you need to go back and ck the advanced stats. Porter never had a better ts% than JG til his 4th year. Jalen just finished his 2nd.

Woh Woh Woh Woh....

What else?

 

The Rockets thought it was worth the risk but it ended that it wasn't. Green is a better pro than Porter. Period!

Porter had talent when Cleveland jettisoned him for nothing. Porter's combination of talent and knuckleheadery wasn't worth the risk of him screwing up team chemistry by acting like and immature entitled jackass. He was doing the same type of things here.

 

Bobby sees no issue with KPJ's immature narcistic behavior because Bobbythesourgrapes has the exact same traits.

 

Your point is irrelevant. How does saying KPJ was worse at the same age as Green mean KPJ isn't better than him now?

You're making assumptions that Green will improve to the point where KPJ is now and then exceed it.

He might, but you're playing pretend. I'm talking about here and now KPJ is better.

What are you talking about ts%? Jalen got worse. What makes you think he's 100% getting better? He was worse last year than KPJ over his whole career. If your claim was true, it shouldn't be getting worse.

I think the problem ultimately is you are making up this world where someone says KPJ has more upside than Green.

It's a little silly you can't just admit KPJ was better last year. He's supposed to be since he's older and more developed.

I'll tell you what, if you can't just admit it then I'm going to start projecting KPJ into Dwyane Wade or something... that's how silly that gets....

Jalen isn't a good player. He might be someday. He needs to work harder to get there. KPJ is a mediocre player with potential. He has a lot of good and a lot of bad. He needs to get better too.

I think they are the second coming of Francis and Mobley and would rather get rid of both of them for the next TMac...

Just my opinion...

 

Jalen gets a pass for this why?????

 

Help me understand your point when you say "better pro"?

Better player or better locker room guy?

I'm more concerned about one of the worst shooters on the team taking the most shots... that's not being a good pro, that's making selfish decisions....

 

You have yet to name a single instance wherein Jalen displayed immaturity or narcissism, much less to the level that KPJ has thus far in his career.

The comparison of their respective attitudes is in bad faith and disingenuous on your part.

 

Pass for what exactly???? What disruptive behavior has Jalen exhibited?

 

He's a HUMPER!!

 

Pro = professional....... It's the coaches job to tell Jalen to quit shooting as much if that's what's needed. Sulking and giving up on plays like KPJ does is unprofessional despite his stats while doing so.

 

The sad thing is that you probably truly believe this is anywhere close to KPJ's history...

 

Not playing hard, taking dumb shots, acting entitled....

There is something wrong with a player when they make a boneheaded move like throwing a point blank layup off the glass for a trailing opponent and then smiling about it.

Any professional would be embarrassed and would not be laughing about it being his bad...

Silas did nothing to fix that....

Wait until his shots go way down because FVV finds better shooters and then we'll see how mature he is when he doesn't get anything he wants when he wants it...

 

Calm down homie! The sad thing is you truly believe that I'm being serious. Clearly a joke!

Humping is humping. Boy on Boy, Girl on Girl, or Boy on Girl, have fun, I ain't judging

 

Giving up on plays?

You give Jalen a pass for making little effort on one end of the floor?

What does Jalen's boards look like?

Is he hitting the glass or is he giving up after chucking it?

I think you're using KPJ tantrums to excuse bad basketball character by Jalen.

They both need a wake up call.

Their role needs to be earned. Draft position is meaningless by year 3...
