What's the rotation? Starters Wood, Tate, Porter, Green and Matthews Bench Sengun, House/Martin, Wall, Gordon and Brooks
Hopefully he just takes about 18-20 mins from Augustin, Gordon and KPJ. Also there's a game on, go enjoy it!
I would have gone another season of not watching Rockets games, if Wall played this year. I could not think of anything worse than him taking minutes and opportunities away from KPJ and the rookie. My oh my, how quickly time changes things.
Kevin Porter Jr can play shooting guard, and Jalen Green can play small forward with Wall playing point guard.
There's no guarantee he comes back. He probably will but I'm not worrying about it. I'd be a lot more worried if our guard play had been absolutely phenomenal and I thought there was short-term growth to be had there from Green. Really he should take a few of Green's minutes but I don't know if he and KPJ can coexist well.
Starters: Wall/Green/KPJ/Tate/Wood First rotation: KPJ/Mathews/Gordon/KJ/Sengun Second rotation: Wall/Green/Gordon/blank/Wood Something like that where KPJ/Wall can still start together and run point like Harden/Westbrook & Green can play with real pg for most the game Might be able to even make a play in game if we get serious bringing Wall back
I think just like KPJ said, when he was out he saw what he should have been doing. Sometimes just taking a step back, will help you move forward. But Green has to start.
I think if you start Wall, it will take away from KPJ. You have to start one or the other. I would start KPJ
KPJ needs to be on the ball, he's finally showing a lot of improvement, it'd be so stupid now to pull him out for Wall Wall can back him up, Eric Gordon is not a PG
Ideal situation for me in all honesty would be Wall coming back even in a small role, and being the John Wall of old in terms of high assist with decent scoring numbers. The hope being that he actually cares about being a basketball player and realises that to do so he has to show out, the easiest way to do that is to get good results for his youngsters because he's not going to be a star player anywhere. I don't care who starts, KPJ, Green, Tate and Wood should be our big minute guys. And I'd run the rotations something like: KPJ/Gordon/Mathews/KJ/Wood - Keeps the spacing and has KJ as a lob threat, him and KP have already shown tons of chemistry over the last 2 seasons. KJ with help defense block assistance for Wood and Mathews and Gordon on the perimeter for when KP collapses the D. Wall/Green/Brooks/Tate/Sengun/whoever - the main focus of this lineup would be getting Green good looks and a 2 man game with Wall and Sengun which could potentially be pretty lethal in all honesty. Slot in defensive players where necessary. Obviously, Green would play with KP at times but this way you wouldn't have their development massively affecting each other. Once they're both performing well, then you bring them together as you're moving guys out and clearing room for Christopher and others to come playing. That's the only way it makes sense to me. And to be honest, it makes a lot more sense to me playing our actual best and most accomplished player over other "vets" like Augustin, Nwaba and co. People are insane if they don't think Wall has value, he played badly last year and his numbers would still make him the star of this year's team in all honesty. Dude was always in the top assist averages and an average scorer, and people paint him as just some greedy wild chucker. Wall and Green and Wall and Sengun could be a way for both to be more effective whilst they develop.
I think we have to keep Green and KPJ paired with one another. That's why I think they should start and bringing Gordon and Wall off the bench is going to be potent!
why? you cant even give pt to all talented rookies you just drafted? and you have just have being shown by basketball gods your top 2 pick is more of a burden and a negative player in general... why d you need more of these then? oth pick no 16 showed most promise and you cant even give him a decent minutes SMH tanking is a disease
Wall can teach KPJ the benefit of the dribble fast break - or pushing the ball up for early offense. DD
