    Why do people like you constantly use this argument. Can you just accept the fact that players develop and grow at different rates? Im sure your development as a student thru grade school and high school is different from the next guy. Please stop this fallacy of everyone having to develop in a certain timeframe or compared to player x.

    Udoka has tried to get him to his spots this season which are the elbows, and low and mid post. But yes they need to integrate him more. He really needs to work that lower body strength since he barely moves even smaller guards. He has greatly improved handling this year and needs to continue to work on that. Also needs that initial burst from the perimeter after a crossover.

    You went back to a post that was posted 3 months ago.

    Nope it is not the same, in high school you are basically thrown into a flurry of tests and exams but your livelihood is not at stake.

    If you flunk, then there is still a lot of possibilities to still make up for that.

    With hard work or sheer learning by heart, you can at least reach a B or B- without any talent.

    Sometimes even an A-.

    • Grad school is more different, it was major and subject based research.
    • School is exactly what you went against, doing things in time frames.

    Lack of understanding of the game. Again these people have to know what right is before making the judgement on what’s wrong. And most of the time they don’t know what right looks like

    So you’re a thread nazi now preventing me from reading a post 3 months ago?

    Point is about development as a student. How you comprehend the various topics, how you grow in your critical thinking skills, how you grow in your language, math or writing skills. Some are good in math and logic others in language and arts. Some late bloomers etc. Each student develops differently and your development is different from the next. There is no one timeline for everyone. But since ur a Nazi you can keep believing in this.

    Rockets and Stone need to know their talant and should’ve made moves (like trading Jabrari) to be a legit contender. Another wasted season under the Feritta and Stone regime.

    He’s always been awful. Stone is going to re-sign him at a 100M/4 year deal. He gets away with underperforming because Sengun and Green take the spotlight. He’s like the Rafael Stone of power forwards. Does nothing good and does nothing bad. He just exists and plays it safe while everyone else gets the blame.

    You might be the single worst thread starter on this message board. Your consistency is remarkable.

    You’re an idiot and not every fart of a thought that enters your brain needs to be a thread on this board.

    Grow up

    We needed an lmanimal or ashleym post to get us back on track. I predict a 10 game win streak.

    The next date would be offseason.

    A little patience, not that he will be indeed traded.

    That is indeed the frustrating part, there is virtually no killer instinct or extremely little.

    I know you are upset because of last night BUT I think you're jumping the gun.

    Remember, he was playing great before his hand injury. Although his stamina is there, he needs time to get his rhythm down. Give him until next week
