    Still looks like he's training all the same Zero Sugar Harden Lite moves for another head honcho season. What's new?

    Get with an off ball trainer running drills to his spots and get reps shooting 3s with defenders rushing him and his stamina low from all the off ball movement.

    Cbrickley is just a hype man glorified yes man. Kpj needs to work on finishes like euro, floater, weak hand lays. He's just doubling down on more iso drills with low iq shots.

    All our guards have a blank bag inside the 3 point line. Can't take off with that.

    He was literally working on floaters lol. He needs to work on finishing through contact. He finishes well with both hands, he actually prefer using his right hand on layups

    Brickley is a horrible name for a basketball trainer/coach

    Pretty solid nickname for Jalen Green though.

    Porter & Green still need to learn to play within a system that is run by someone else to find the most success in team basketball. Hopefully we will see this or get value (75%) back when the are traded.

    I think this will be a make or break year for KPJ, namely is he a player where he can play within a system?

    I hated KPJ as a PG, but I'm willing to warmly welcome him to a 6th man role.

    I did not think it was a Make or Break for Kenyon Martin last year but he still got shipped out.

    Look, I know there are KPJ haters out there. But we seem kind of thin at guard now and need him on this team. He can't be traded for a C as then we have only FV, Green, and maybe Brooks who can play guard. We could trade him for a guard but I don't we'd get equal value. I don't know if Amen or Cam or ready to help this team much this year, at least not before the All Star Break. Maybe I'm wrong. Even if Amen and Cam show out in summer league it's unclear if that will work in the NBA.

    There's no doubt he has the skills for it, that's never been in question.

    It's just a matter of whether he has the control over his ego and motivation to work hard every game if he's not getting his preferred way.

    You'll also find players like KPJ of course but also Harden, Jimmy Butler, Aaron Gordon just to name a few....
