I must say KPJ is playing better the last 10 games: he is scoring 22.7 a game, 6 assist and 5 rebounds a game but 3 turnovers. If we just place KPJ as our SF and trade Gordon tomorrow for a veteran point guard named Derrick Rose. KPJ is a nice catch and shoot player and driving to the basket. He just does not need to control the offense. Run the ball through Sengun. In the last two games, Silas has played Sengun for 30 minutes and he is averaging 20 points and 10 plus rebounds a game. We need to play Sengun at least 30 minutes a game. We need to trade Gordon now to the Knicks, it will help both teams. Rose is a real PRO and let Rose help develop Jalen and Jabari. They need a guy to get in their face to tell them to keep running the offense and stop shooting crazy off balance shots and HERO ball. We do have some positives about our current team, I believe Sengun and KPJ will be fine this season. We need to take the ball out of KPJ hands and let him score. He can average 20 points a night. Sengun will be fine but he needs to play 30 plus minutes a game so we can work on his defense and outside shooting, but Sengun can average 20 points and 10 rebounds a game. Jalen and Jabari needs help now to develop as STARS in this league, this is the “Development Year”. Next year we are trying to get in the playoffs not to crash and burn to tank ….we need a point guard to help Jalen and Jabari this year for development. Getting a point guard will not hurt our TANKING…we are a bad team but the development with a real point guard, take the ball out of KPJ hands and play Sengun 30 plus minutes will help next year. Our team is so bad this year we cannot win more than 30 games…we still have a chance for Wemby…no worries. What do you think?
Derrick Rose, honestly. Tanking is a difficult mental battle for the fans but these takes lately have been absolute garbage.
I was watching KJ highlights from last season and I noticed like 80% of his points come from Josh Christopher assists. I know JC is in Tilman's doghouse for banging his daughter but would it kill the team to give JC a chance to play again? He has really good chemistry too, someone just needs to tell him to stop being a black hole.
In all honesty; it's likely nothing. Only because; a photo JC posted. The benching is most likely basketball reasons. but we tease, we tease. Spoiler: JC and Blayne Fertitta
There are many, many veterans available to run the point for us. But it seems like we’re all-in on forcing KPJ’s square peg into our round hole all we can do is sit back and take it
yeah, that’s a reach based on that single photo. If there was bad blood with Tillman he would have just traded him.
If i had to guess: the summer league flare up was one of the reasons; put him on somewhat of bad terms with the coaches. Plus there are too many mouths to feed; Before pivot year, team want to see what they had in Tyty and Nix first. Unlike covid year; where guys were out for quarantine. Also this year, most of the squad stayed healthy.
Hello. We are in whats called a development period. KPJ isn't great, but unless we draft Scoot, Amen (or sign Harden), he is likely the least worst option. Now is the time for him to learn and hopefully get better. And KPJ has actually shown improvement YoY, its not big leaps, but he is getting better.
