Agree with this and would add we need a bit more time for Stone's trade magic to materialize. If we can move Oladipo, Tucker and either McLemore or House (hopefully both) then KPJ can start at SG and run second unit. Really like has his focus and game has gotten better. Don't want to get too excited yet, but this kid has "it" in spades and could be special if everything works out. Just pray he's getting the help he needs to have an awesome life.
You didn’t watch the pre game press conference? Berman asked that same question and Silas said: “We are still trying to teach Kevin not to compare everything to slavery and more important, to not throw ****.”
He's 20. No he isn't a superstar. Not even close. Though his skill and talent does have superstar potential. He just needs to get his head straight and humble himself. He can very well turn out the be the next Michael Beasley if the Rockets organization rushes things and doesn't mentor him well.
Only he's not as strong as Harden. Which makes a huuuuge difference going to the basket. Harden was a fullback. KPJ is a wirey wider receiver. Dude is NICE though, I have to admit I'm excited for his future.
He's going to have to rely more on his quickness than Harden. Harden could create seperation just by brushing his shoulder off a defender. He also had immense grip of the ball. KPJ is 20 though so it's expected he's going to still gain more muscle mass to help him out in that regard.
LMAO They need to bring up KJ, then after he gets right in the head KPJ. Then if they can somehow trade for a young wing this team will at least have more energy and become more watchable. I know House played fairly well tonight, but I'm ready for him to be gone.
Let Kevin Porter Jr. play with younger, better players in the G League. I want him to win G League MVP and get a All Star Game MVP and Win a Championship with Finals MVP. All these Accolades are not possible on the Rockets. Let him Develop with KJ Martin Jr. Maybe Kevin Porter Jr. and KJ Martin Jr. will be called up after the Trade Deadline. Brodric Thomas resigned to a 2 way deal again.
I don't think Porter needs anymore actual development in the G league, this is just to get him back in rhythm again. He's already an NBA level player. He just needs to get in shape and get his head straight. I want him to get some burns in the NBA
