If he maintains his current level of play, it's only a matter of time before he gets benched or waived entirely. Averaging 8.3 FGAs through 3 games, and converting only 1.7 attempts. On pace for 20 attempts per 36. Averaging 2 TOs in only 14.8 minutes. On pace for 5 TOs per 36. Completely busted shot, 1 for 9 from 3 so far this season. Only 24 years old, took a year off the league due to legal issues, and somehow comes back looking like he had 4 season ending injuries. Baffling to say the least, but also somehow not surprising.
KPJ is toast and inconsistent.....Norman Powell would be the guy they cannot replace in the wake of the Kawhi injury.
Lmao...he is becoming a marginalized end of the bench player who bounces around. Starring in Summer Leagues, blowouts and GLeague games. Nobody outside the Rockets are that patient with him.
Another KPJ masterclass in disaster-class against Portland. Somehow in only 15 minutes of play: He has a team worse -9, A team worse 5 TOs Tied for the 3rd most shot attempts on the team. Incredible efficiency at being inefficient on the court. However, his TS 45% today actually improves his scoring efficiency.
Other than his personality disorder, he is just another journey man in Europe. What did Rafael Stone see in him.....his fellow Seattle home boy.
Zubac was the reason they lost and won in the first place, Zubac cannot keep up being a 22 ppg scorer. That is not normal. That is like Steven Adams decided to score 20 ppg in 20 games some day and Van Vleet helped him.
10 points on TS 45.45%, 5 TOs (to just 1 assist) and a team worse -9, all in only 15 minutes, cannot in any justifiable way be considered "pretty good" for a player in his 5th season.
Will they play a video for KPJ’s home return? Will @DaDakota shed a tear reminiscing about the good times ??
