    Yes it was a statement to DD. It wasn't a literal request LOL. I was making an argument to his post that most would choose Porter over JG. Which I stand on. No GM in the league would make that choice. Including Stone. Not that Porter isn't talented. He is. He's just not there emotionally. It's all between the ears. Now this is just my opinion, but we all have them.

    They both don’t play defense and neither has good court vision and high bball IQ. KPJ is the better player currently but Jalen has the better upside, and no attitude issues. I take Jalen, but they are both very flawed players at this point in their development.

    How many sophomores who joined at 19 didn't have "severe flaws" as you say?

    Jalen green is a 2nd year who's developmental process shouldn't b compared to kpj a 4th year. They are similar in age, but a lot of folks seem to fall in this pitfall when observing green's development.


    That's like me comparing the iq of a 2nd grader to a 4th grader and get upset that the 2nd grader is lacking.

    When comparing Green to his actual peers or the 2nd year stats of previous players, i don't think he's as bad as u portray it.

    A better poll in my opinion would have been who should b benched, kpj or green.
