    He needs to "develop" making simple layups

    Breakpoint is certainly not 40 games into experiment as a PG.

    Morey also developed Chandler and Capela while still contending.

    Nets are developing Cam Thomas.

    Raptors are developing Barnes.

    Heat developed Herro and Precious.

    huh? Now you’re arguing about who’s bigger? Lol The man was 6ft Lol against bigger more physical guards and players on switches. But not even the point which is Its about body control and playing with contact. He’s a finesse guy and needs to learn the art of drawing contact. He hasn't done so far as the game film shows.

    TBF many great players have ridden for Westbrook and Carmelo over the last few years. Lebron was a big Shabazz Napier fan.

    Sometimes rando fans are better at evaluating.

    Strength and assmass matter, it's how 6'4 Charles Barkley was a rebounding diety fighting with Shaq in the paint and why 7'1 Zhou Qi couldn't grab a rebound to save his life.

    Also, you can't be a "finesse guy" if you have terrible handles and can't shoot. He needs to add strength or he's just going to get pushed around and he won't be able to finish through contact.

    Garuba fills a stat sheet really quickly, too.

    This was my first thought...
    Like c'mon, really??

    But the inference I suppose is that they are going to give KPjr a chance to "close" as much as possible this year.
    It is kind of refreshing to hear. It means Green has a low pressure on court role - just make some shots!

    Just to reiterate you are comparing iverson to Barkley.

    No, I'm explaining to you how there's more to a players size than just their height. I would have thought that would be obvious.

    I've heard it said that players tend to overvalue basketball skill and undervalue everything else. This was used as an explanation for why KD would want to team up with Kyrie when he's been a problem every place he's ever been - because Kyrie has mastered basketball as a craft, and that's what players pick up on most. So KD overlooked literally everything else about Kyrie because of the things he can do on the court.

    Iko been pushing that for a while now that the Rockets priority is to see what KPj is. That’s the biggest reason for the Wall sit down and IKo doesn’t mine that at all that Wall is sitting. He wants Wall playing.
