    Because this board loves scapegoats. First, it was Green. Then Wood. Now it’s KPJ’s turn.

    Poole does not have the usage nor the attempts on that team compared to king of Texas, the KPJ. If we had Curry and KPJ was doing the same things, he would be in G league within a day if they have a team there. Anyways, for that French Wemba, all is welcome.

    I like both Sengun and Porter, however I think Porter has a higher ceiling. Only because, Sengun is limited athletically.

    Both will get better, Sengun will improve his shooting and Porter will improve his court vision as he play more with Green and Jabari.

    For those of us that have been watching the entire KPJ stint, we have been griping about his PG skills. Some of us have been patient about it, but the issues regarding him being a PG are clear. Hell, league executives are confused why the Rockets are still trying the experiment.

    Yes, I’m sure you’ve had many a conversation with executives about KPJ.

    I wondered that too, when he first arrived you wouldn't exactly have called him fan favorite.

    He embraced being the Joker from the DC universe.

    Might have something to do with the fact that he threw soup at a coach and left the stadium at halftime last year. It’s not hard to understand why many folks don’t care about his talent and don’t believe he will get it together mentally. I’m not one of them. I think he seems to have matured immensely and I hear his basketball girlfriend has helped him in this regard. But CLE straight up dumped him. That says ALOT. There are very few things that will get a young player with HUGE potential straight up kicked off a team…

    So far this season...

    PPG: KPJ (21 v. 14)
    3 pt %: KPJ (47 v. 31)
    TS%: KPJ (.533 v. 53)
    Assists: Poole (6 v. 5.5)
    Rebounds: KPJ (7 v. 1)
    Steals: Poole (2 v. 1.5)

    Doesn't scream "much better" to me.

    I was being Facetious.

    But no, they’re similar players.

    All the metrics, he does nothing at an above average level except post play.

    Its obvious you don't have an idea and want me to do all the work.
