He will always have haters and naysayers just because of where he was picked in the draft, but I predict he will come out and have a more...
I like the confidence coming in but unfortunately it seems like he's the third string at SF initially. Hopefully he isn't too worried about ROY...
Not true, it is based on player comps and a long history of many players improving in their 3rd-4th years over the history of the sport. He...
We should all care about trajectory for all of our players as Rockets fans. We are in a rebuild so there's not point to being shortsighted and...
This discussion is so hilarious to me lol. KPJ was a little better than Jalen last year but not by some crazy margin. Jalen's trajectory his first...
He was almost as good as Brooks last year as a rookie already which is why it frustrates me that he won't get as much of a chance to blossom with...
Because I believe that Tari Eason will quickly surpass him firstly, and secondly I just don't believe he is a good player. The Grizzlies, who are...
It will still be way more than he is worth as a player and he won't have a place on this team in two years.
Tari will be better than him within two years and Brooks' contract will be an albatross - that we will have to attach assets to get rid of after a...
My point is that I believe we have a player on the roster (Eason/Jabari) that have potential to grow into team leaders on D. Eason was already...

Lol you are welcome to contribute something! I'd go look at the numbers first though.
I believe so, yes. Many advanced metrics also indicate that which I posted on a couple of threads already. I think on-ball defense is the only...
They would be third stringers if the rotation is healthy, sure, but there was literally no reason to give them away for free and especially not to...
Lol fancy analytics. Brooks was a lot better the year he averaged 25ppg in that one playoff series, for sure. KMJ is not as good as he was then....
Nothing wrong with bringing KMJ off the bench. Tari was almost as good as Brooks last year and may be better this year.
That statement has nothing to do with LeBron and what went on in the playoffs (although that doesn't hurt his cause). Just look at their numbers...
Care to elaborate as to why that's wild? Here are some numbers from last season: Win Shares: Brooks: 1.6 KMJ: 4.9 Box Plus Minus: Brooks:...
KJ is not a good defender I'll grant you but you really don't think a better defensive coach could get more out of him? All of the advanced...
