    More than met my expectations to be fair. Probably come along more than I thought he would, this last bit of the season he's gone from "showing flashes" to straight up looking like a future scoring leader. I was happy when we drafted him, just as happy now.

    Thanks for the bump on this thread, someone

    Read from page 1....didn't post until page 31 (Wow). Guess I was waiting
    for the preseason games to end.

    A lot of confrontation.....I'm glad I'm non confrontational and very passive. But some
    members really put themselves out there....WoW.

    I guess with 6 games left I can let BobbythenotsoGreat and hakeem94 out of
    Clutchfans timeout (ignore list). Glad most of us were on the correct side
    of this. I would list you; but I know I would leave someone out. So I just won't.

    I’d say I was close enough

    OP’s prediction on the other hand was

    So, I am going to go with 13ppg, 2Apg, 38%FG, 29%3pt......

    If he were a backup to EGo I think he would be more efficient, and less points, but I think we are going to ride or die with him and KPJ and it is going to be VERY ugly this year.

    WAY worse than last year.

    I think he''ll end up with 17 ppg by the end of the season. It's funny to see how far he's come from the beginning of the season because even you who was not doom and gloom like other posters here have low balled his scoring efficiency numbers. He has a legit chance to crack 55% ts by the end of the season.

    I have moved my expectations back up - after his play post All Star......he is really coming on as a player. Honestly this is what I expected him to look like at the jump as a number 2 pick.

    However, he got there, and is now playing great, IMHO......so back up we go.

    Your prediction for stats is about as close as you could get.

    Still not a fan at all. I will root for him while he wears the jersey but I'm still not impressed yet.

    That's your right.

    Some of us know basketball and know he is a d**n hard cover with that
    blazing speed, quick first step, great leaping ability with excellent hang time.

    and his defense is improving, as evidence of him being in the 88th percentile
    in isolations. All his myths before draft day are being dismantled.

    I'm confident you'll be coming over to the dark side Ty, eventually.

    Always amusing to laugh at Bobbythegeek and DD's horrible analysis

    Respect to the Jalen Haters who are willing to go down with their hot takes. SMH. "still not impressed" when the kid is now in the rarified air of scorers like MJ and AI??? LOL

    Now just imagine his growth with an actual FO, coach and staff.
