I don't know whom you all are arguing with, but you would probably be better off putting that poster on ignore.
When did I ever say we were contenders? I'll give you $100 right now if you can find a post in the last year where I actually used those words pertaining to the current Houston Rockets. Reading and reading comprehension are fundamental bro. LeBron couldn't shoot for the longest time and was never a locked down defender (great helpside defender though), Wilt Chamberlain couldn't hit a free throw to save his life and could never defeat the Celtics, Magic couldn't shoot well, Kobe shot way too much, and Jordan didn't really know how to trust his teammates and not be a prick. EVERY PLAYER HAS WEAKNESSES. Most PF's in the NBA historically don't have handles. That's why 6'10 guys that can dribble like Ben Simmons, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ralph Sampson, etc are considered unicorns. We need shot makers not necessarily shot creators (See the 2018 Rockets that missed 27 consecutive 3's in Game 7)....
Yes, i can see how you taking a clearly sarcastic comment seriously would make little sense... No, it's harder to find a big who can theoretically shoot 40% from 3 and guard 5 spots... Guys come out every year who can create their own shot, run an offense, and pretend to care about defense...
33% from 3 and average at best defense count? Maybe he improves... Westbrook shot 33% from 3 before going pro and see how far he has come...
Yeah we did get a bit unlucky with Jabari we will be too good to tank as so many here want . I’ll be perfectly happy with that
This is a fair read and its what Duke had him do a lot but he is not just a mid post iso scorer He is already playing much faster and being more decisive. I agree also about Tatum but I think Banchero does not rely on tough shots as much but can make them at a good rate. The thing that separates Banchero is the playmaking he will pass more often than take the tough shot.
The ignore feature is probably the weakest thing out there. @D-rock hilariously a couple weeks ago put me on ignore then posted in the forum about how he put me on ignore (of course no one cosigned him because the reason was stupid). there are posters I thought about using ignore in the past, that later made several posts I agreed with.
I think he still can be a star as a 3-D guy. Defense wins championships. He just needs a good partner who can give him the ball in his sweet spots. I can see him as a better Marion. Luckily, Rockets got some of the best of one-on-one players already. It's a big relief if there's someone to spread the court.
Melo is 9th all-time in scoring If Paulo in on 'another tier' ... That leaves only Kareem, Malone, Jordan, Kobe, Dirk, Wilt & Shaq You REALLY like Paulo
I don't see his posts, so I only know about this because you just tagged me. That guy is one of the dumbest posters on the board, and not only that, he posts a lot. So I decided to improve my BBS experience by filtering out that garbage.
So ... he can be Klay Thompson 2way star Excellent secondary scorer mostly from C&S or 1-2 dribble pullups from 3 and long mid 2nd/3rd best player on multiple title winners Never good enough to carry offense on his own Peaked as top 20-25 player overall and 2nd-best at his position for a few years Future HoFamer Would you be pissed if we drafted Klay 3rd overall?
Pretty good comp. I've said Rashard Lewis. If he has a run like Lewis and the rest of the squad can get better also, that works too.
