    Exactly. I was going to mention CP3/Harden but they are arguably two of the 25 greatest players ever who came together after years of establishment. KPJ and Cunningham learning to be NBA players and co existing could be real bumpy. But I’m all for it if possible.

    He is working hard. I like that. I want him to improve his stamina. That will make a huge difference in his efficiency.

    LMAO dude, you have major reading comprehension issues. I find it comical when people who are obviously poorly educated call others idiots because they simply have failed in life. I stopped reading after you began a sentence with "and", that just shows you never made it past the second grade.

    "And you are the exact proof."

    LMAO, almost as comical as when people say "your an idiot". You may have to google why that is funny.

    That's not a bad shot at all. Trae Young shoots it from his shoulder/chin area and he's 5'10. There's studies that say a low release point is better like the curry's and dames

    My concern with KPJ is that he is slow and takes a alot of dribbles to get off his shot. I think @saleem had asked me how do you train for explosiveness. Here's a clip of one of the best trainers for this. He trained with Harden alot. And this isnt new information, there was a dedicated forum for people wanting to jump higher that I use to visit alot in the mid 2000's.

    When they make a documentary of Houston's 2026 Championship season I hope they have Paul Giamatti play Stone. At the very least, get Billy Joel.

    He definitely needs to become a much better 3 point shooter. I love his mid- range jumper though. It adds a useful dimension to his game.

    This is music to my ears. Loyalty and commitment are important in team sports. Stone identifying KP's passing as his strength right now speaks volumes as to how the team may see him as the future 1 and it may even impact whom they decide to go with at pick #2. Sounds like "FIT" is important to Stone - as it should be if you are serious about building a contender that will share the same timeline and hopefully set up a dynasty of contention with young, exciting players.
