    Years of nba service does trump nba games played. Bringing up ignite vs usc is just dumb as fk.

    Kpj has a 2 year head start into his nba career full stop.

    No one aside from kpj stans compares players game played vs other players. Folks uses year of experience hence normal folks compare Green 2 years vs other 2 years to note the trend while kpj stans find it okay to compare a 2nd year vs 4th since only 50 games worth of experience separates them.

    As an example to show how stupid kpj stans are for justifiying that using game played as a way to compare players is a okay. my example was between two players who played the same position with less than 50ish game separating them.

    Jabari Smith is a power forward that play 79 games with 1 years of nba experience and zion is a power forward with 114 games with 4 years of nba experience. Less than 50 games separate them, u don't see any idiot compares the two ever.

    Bringing up common sense. Pffffft.

    The answer on Clutchfans is always:

    1) Sengun
    or
    2) Your Mother on Crack

    I'm guessing #1 applies here

    You’re as delusional as DD.

    trajectory means everything

    hardens trajectory is downhill

    you look at Jalen and apply a different lens than other players. Say, Jabari. Jabari’s rookie year sucked. Yet we both project his future will be better. So talent makes a difference here but not in JGs case.

    I’m gonna give you the same advice I gave @cmoak1982 on his bs.

    let it go. Let it go. And whatever else Elsa sang

    Lol.
    Why am I being brought in this? I haven’t said anything bad about KPJ or Green. The opposite actually

    If this is a Stroud thing, KPJ has actually played in the league and done well and Green has shown supreme upside.
    Stroud has done neither

    because y’all are both good posters / intelligent fans - stuck on tangents. Happens to the best of us. But you don’t have to carry that weight - Beatles

    You probably shouldn't comment. You didn't understand the conversation was about who is the better player right now.

    Future potential has no impact on the here and now.

    I get it though, you jumped in the middle without looking because it was a chance to defend your boy...

    No apology is necessary, I get it was just a mistake.

    Pfffft green has improve quite a lot actually if you compare him to his peers and situation. Which many kpj stans fail to account and ignore.

    What folks on here mostly kpj stans like to do is consider kpj as green's draft mate and uses it to criticize green + wonder why green isn't as good as him.

    There's something with a 4th year player if he's inferior to a 2nd year.

    I do agree that green hasn't shown if he can b a superstar/all-star yet bc he is so inconsistent but u b lying to yourself if u think 1st year green is the same as 2nd year green.

    It's not too farfetched to believe that with a new coach who stresses accountability and an actual pg, green wouldn't improve

    Green may not be head honcho but he sure is Thanos, with the snap of his finger(words) he said they needed more structure and got it hopefully with Udoka and they needed seasoned floor general and they got it possibly with VV

    But why does this pic look like Green got grazed by a bullet in the knee?

    He was the top with Josh Christopher, he's the bottom with his new teammates.

    One of the weirdest things this offseason has been how almost none of the journalists and analysts have mentioned KPJ—or if they do it's a momentary aside to say something like "...presumably, his days in Houston are numbered." I really don't get it. We have all this data that suggests he's a talented promising shooting guard who has done his best playing out of position for two years. And he's on a uniquely low-risk contract. What's the deal?

    Green must have taken a page out of those past and present so called tough n buff NFL players who came out the closet, inclusive with past NBA players as well

    Guess that entertainment club just like having a top to bottom party, great for them

    It would probably be better if he just came out, no one cares anymore. He can hump whoever he wants.

    I just wish he was a halfway decent basketball player rather than being a reincarnation of Jerry Stackhouse without the defense.

    Exactly, why you think I mentioned the others who have came out the closet in other sports?

    all of them should come out, including the I Am Jazz and Buck Angels of that club, they all should just come out so they all can hump and reassign/invert themselves with no shame, especially since they have cornered the market and are everywhere in that club, politicians included

    Once you see it you can't un-see it

    Kobe Bryant is Stackhouse with rings and Lakers Nation backing him

    It is annoying that they are blaming KPJ for doing what the org asked him to do, Jalen's comments are not a slap against KPJ as much as it is a slap against the Org for having no leaders.

    The players are talking about leadership, and saying PG, when the reality is it is about leadership.....FVV is not even a PG, he is a combo guard....

    And of course a 29 year old is going to be more poised, give KPJ 6 more years and see where he is...probably further along than where FVV is at the same age.

    KPJ is attacked for doing what is asked of him, he literally changed positions at the org's request and for that he is vilified, Ridiculous.

    Doesn't help that the kpj stans double down that kpj being played out of position is actually working when in reality it sucked hence the fvv signing
