    KPJ's biggest problems are off the field, not on it. And they are too big.

    I really liked a lot about what we saw this year from KPJ. I’ll just say though that when it comes to the #2 pick, their growth is just much more important to the org and so I hope everyone keeps that in mind. That might mean KPJ going to the bench or traded if it’s other players are a better fit playing alongside Mobley or Green. Both of their ceilings are way too high to really think twice imo. Really interested to see how it plays out though starting with who we take to begin with and getting a taste of summer league which I assume KPJ will also play in too.

    He needs to work on getting faster. He lacks an explosive first step for a person that looks fast he is slow.

    Just thankful for Kevin Porter Jr instead of Ben Simmons.

    Ben Simmons is on a date at Wimbledon Tennis.

    That 1 clip of him shooting deep 3s makes me appreciate he is serious about improving his 3 point shot even more.

    Kevin used to shoot 3s from his chest as a Rookie in Cleveland. Now it looks normal and adding more deep 3 point range.

    Hmm Stephon Marbury might actually be a good comp in a lot of ways.

    KPJ would be the first pick of this years draft.

    Considering Davion Mitchell is literally 2 years older than KPJ and a consensus top 10 pick, I 100% believe KPJ would be up there.

    They're probably still clearing out the other #3 jerseys.
