The "KPJ off the bench" nonsense is just low effort trolling unlikely to elicit more than laughter at this point.
Not sure about the Ivey part, but I think a backup SG is perfect for KPJ. There were times when Garrison didn't play well, and Silas had the 3 guard lineup, I was also OK with KPJ playing the starting SF spot. (with Christopher or Gordon at the 1, depending on who's hot that night). Backup SG is perfectly suitable, on a 'human' level not sure how KPJ will take getting less minutes.
Will need to trade Jaygup (or KPJ) if Ivey the pick. Not saying good or bad idea, just not enough minutes for Green-Ivey-KPJ-Jaygup at PG-SG to maximize their play. And Ivey-Green would be amazing in transition offense but horrible in switch defense.
Girls today are clueless. That heavy makeup is terrible. West Virginia pics show facial beauty. Why cover up that face with the fake stuff?
KPJr isn't going to accept a sixth man role. If we draft Jaden we have to run KPJr Jalen and Jaden together and create synergy driving up KPJr's trade value at the very least. Then make a decision by the deadline on what to do with him.
Green wouldn't accept a 6th man role either, hope we can keep his trade value high till we can make a decision about what to do with him
Sure, let’s give it a shot: Between Green and Sengun the Rockets have plenty of playmaking but limited shooting and defense. (Even more so on both counts if we draft Banchero.) KPJ is the best catch and shoot 3P shooter and one of the best pull-up 3P shooters in the league on a team desperate for shooting. His assist to turnover ratio is great - by the second half he was very reliable with the ball He’s a big, strong defender on a team with no good defenders. Ivey is not a natural PG anymore than KPJ is, and he’s a worse shooter. No one has a “natural PG” at the 1 except the Suns in any case But sure, shove him to the bench or trade him so we can draft another guard on a chronically short and guard-heavy team.
KPJ is maturing and dude showed what he and Green could do in last 8 games......open it up and let them fly. DD
Im sure the three of them could play together. Better though to get a front court stud and see if KPJ can continue to grow and mature.
Get Wood out of the way and watch everyone improve! Package whatever the return is with #17 to move up, and you’ve likely got three starting positions locked up long term, with the possibility of a fourth. Play out the season to get a better idea where the upgrades need to be made ahead of next year’s draft and free agency.
Even without Wood, team was pure trash. Rockets have many many more issues than just Wood. Wood is just current scapegoat.
That’s true to an extent, but they have more invested in the players they are drafting now than they do in Wood. His presence prevents them from getting to really see what they’ve got.
There's no reason FOR them to play together. Our backcourt is fine....better than fine. We need guys that can play 3 - 5.
