    this was my favorite

    Darko was and is a much more talented player than Harden.

    Harden was an awful pick and the red flags were everywhere: "old-stle player" "heady player" "plays below the rim"

    Quit cutting Presti slack on this. He blew it on this pick, it happens.

    honorable mention to this gem right here

    He's a bust. His in-game athleticism is poor and he's not very big or skilled. There is no decisiveness to his game either. His upside is Aaron McKie.

    I hope he has the patience and work ethic to keep on developing good habits. I think Mobley is the better prospect but Jalen is an electric scoring star in the making. He just needs to keep working

    Yea he just sucks so far unfortunately. He’s too inconsistent and doesn’t offer anything on defense either when his shot isn’t falling

    Green doesn't even hustle on defense. Isnt he he suppose to be ultra competitive. I don't see him closing out hardz fight through screens. He just floats around

    Let me make it clear: I believe in Jalen Green. Haven’t said one negative thing about him.

    But I think I’ve reached the point where Green should get sent down to the G-league for a few games.

    Wake him up. Let him work on his jumpshot mechanics, sharpen up his tools, and get a feel for the game again under a real coach in Abdelfattah.

    Wow 14-68 was the record of the worst Rockets team ever. The suck is getting creepy now.

    Hell to the fk no you dumass

    In Book's rookie year he shot 43% from the field and 34% from 3 (and those numbers have barely changed)

    Take a look see at what JG is shooting
    Looks like you're the one that doesn't know **** about basketball since you only look up ppg
    That's called a self own

    He is ass at defense. His shot is atrocious. And he is too damn frail. All he can do his jump high.

    Fans are stupidly short-sighted, and that probably includes me, too. I’m looking forward to baking that crow pie for people that doubt our young guys, but if I end up wrong about them I won’t have any issues admitting it.

    I only take issues with people that always think they’re so smart, and great, and all that—only to disappear whenever they’re proven to be mistaken

    He’s going to be okay, but right now he’s a way below average NBA basketball player. It is what it is...
