Who is the 5th best player on this current roster?

k-pap da gawd

 

That's a really good question, did not think it would be so hard to answer until you look at the choices. I guess it's really TBD...

 

TBD is correct.

 

The roster seems pretty terrible when you see those "5th best player" options.

 

That is a fair comment.

 

I'd say the opposite is true.

 

He rebounds well, has an all around offensive game, very versatile as he can play 3/4/5 obviously limited situations to play either 3 or 5 but still can do it. He's very athletic. If he could keep his head on straight and focus for a full 30-40 minutes a game, He could really be something special. He needs to develop his defense more, but that could be said for more than a few of the rockets. K pap da gawd is unproven so it's hard to say, same with canaan. D Mo looks promising from summer play, but we'll see how his season goes.

 

Donatas Motiejunas. Better offensive weapon than Tjones and a better defender also. I may even put Kpap ahead of Tjones by the end of the season.

 

Please explain how Dmo is better at either end?

 

trying to hard with that "nickname"

 

that's definitely false.

It's definitely between tjones and kostas. I'm sure that's how our front office views it. You have to give it to tjones since kostas hasn't played any meaningful games yet

 

On defense, DMo can actually follow the ball and his man at the same time. DMo is actually close enough to his man to foul him a lot.

Offensively, DMo has more skills, but his skills have not been good enough so far to be used in a game enough to outweigh Terrence's finishing skills.

 

that makes no sense. if you're fouling a lot especially the minutes he plays, that's not good defense.

Dmo has like two moves. hell either shoot a jumper or do the fake hook shot.

Damn Im hoping Dmo can contribute this year but come on, some people need to stop over hyping this guy. he still has a ways to go.

 

Last year, the question was who was the 5th best player after Howard, Harden, Parsons, and Asik. With Beverley and Lin included in the options at #5 alongside Jones, DMo, etc. The only intriguing addition here is Pap.

as you can clearly see with advanced stats, T Jones is clearly the better player.
