    Not BBall IQ, no, not even close......he was an amazing player with very high Bball IQ and was a number 1 pick because of it, also an excellent tennis player.

    His problems with the booger sugar hurt the Rockets and him big time.

    Well, since I live in Oregon, I typically see them at the Moda Center in Portland.

    Jalen Green may never get it together consistently. But that kid flashed some superstar level talent last season. Let's be open minded and see what he does this year. Don't pay him if he doesn't produce,

    KPJ was a **** head period.

    But you also defended another notorious low iq player in KPJ, so i there may be a bias there and we know it's all about Green.

    KPJ had high BBall IQ, he made some wicked good passes, he was selfish, but his BBall IQ was pretty good.

    Can't speak to his regular walking around IQ.

    Yeah, well, I guess......not sure why it bugs people to talk about them playing ball, doesn't mean anyone was great...lol.

    KPJ and Green have the same issues with their on ball playmaking where they don't see corner guys for some reason. Though Jalen definitely improved on that in March where he was hitting dudes in the corner a lot more often.


    Jalen is a better passer towards the roll man than KPJ.

    KPJ's primary advantage in his 4th year compared to Jalen when he was a sophomore was that KPJ was as more secure and confident ball handler but Green caught up to KPJ's ball handling this season so there really isn't an aspect of KPJ's game that shows "higher IQ" now.

    As of now the only thing KPJ would be better at is catching and shooting. That is something KPJ is definitely absolutely better at than Green. KPJ's catch and shoot ability was print the biggest thing we missed from him last season.

    I disagree. Dude was an idiot in and out of the court. Wood and KPJ together had the IQ of a Sloth. Dark days for the Rockets.

    He's so far on KPJ's dick at this point that it bears no resemblance to reality. Literally his entire time as our starting PG people lamented KPJ for his piss-poor, bargain basement, worst in league history IQ and bone-headedness. DD somehow doesn't understand that people remember things longer than a week ago, must be his age. "Great IQ" KPJ lead the team (and yes, he lead the offense, not Jalen regardless of what y'all claim) to the worst I think I've ever seen us play.

    No, I just see things differently than most people, its ok to disagree, and to think differently it is a difference of opinion.

    Why does it bother you so much, that you have to be rude? Why do you think everyone has to agree? We don't........

    Sheesh!

    And yes, I like KPJ's talent and thought he was going to be very good in Houston if he kept his head on straight, which he mostly did in Houston until the fight with his GF.....so he got what he got and has to start over.....not a Rocket, doesn't bother me - but I don't change my BBall opinion about him because of it.

    Do you think there's a limit to this? Like if someone says that they think christian wood is better then jokic i presume you would find that unreasonable? Or is any opinion fine no matter how far away from reality it is
