    Our next SF?

    I think he's an average PF but a dynamic SF. I think the Rockets are going to play Woods and Tate at the PF position, Sengun and Garuba at he Center position and Theis at both PF and Center depending on the matchup.

    So that leaves House, Nwaba and KMJ at the SF. Looking ahead, despite the Rockets working on an extension with House, we've seen what he has to offer and I'm ready to move on. Nwaba brings energy, so he's perfect off the bench. That leaves KMJ! He blocks shots, plays good defense and he has an improved 3-Ball.

    A. Surely this discussion is happening in another thread already

    B. Click bait titles mean that nobody knows what you are on about and more random thought bubble threads will pop up and pollute the BBS.

    I've always thought his best fit was as a 3.

    I see Tate, Nwaba and KMj splitting duties between the 3 and 4.

    I prefer to see CF's beloved Danuel House Jr. for the drama.

    I am in the minority here but his ball handling is very poor which is going to limit his ceiling if it is not improved.

    I'm with you here.

    his shooting gives him the ability to play the 4. I feel like in modern nba anyone who can't shoot is a center regardless of height. see bruce brown in Brooklyn. I think for KJ the next step is the handle. modern nba offenses need more than 2 ball handlers. if he can't handle the ball he's gotta stay a 4.

    He's a 3/4. He just needs to get stronger and bulk. He will be our Igoudala.

    Don't know if he has the playmaking ability as Iggy, but he could develop it
    but if he keeps working on his shot, he is a formidable 3. Hes physical, has grit, will go for the boards and takes pride n his defense which is the edge and mentality we need. We just need to keep him on his 3 ball to spread the court and its reasonable to think he can do that and we got another steal.
    Tate is older, but at 25, hes got plenty of hoops left and adds a different dimension. i'm fine withboth tme splitting the 3 and both are decent at the 4 too.

    I think that will come when the rest of the team improves. Those passes will turn into assists once guys like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter jr and christian wood become very consistent with their shots. From what I've seen he doesn't seem like a black hole which is good. We have a very good young core. They just need time and experience. That's why I said I believe this team is hungry and talented enough to get to 8th seed. I liked what I saw from kevin martin jr during summer league. I hope he improves even more for the regular season.

    I don't know the answer.

    But the suspense of the title really got me, I had no idea what the next part of the sentence was going to be.

    KJ M

    or

    you take Kenyon Jr (ie KJ) Martin
    K enyon
    J r
    M artin

    KMJakaKJM
