KPjr has more to do with us winning games RIGHT NOW than anyone on the roster

    The main concern I have about KPjr is that he doesn't really know how to run.

    Like his arms are all floppy and sometimes his legs don't bend. Much worse after he does something good. I know he thinks it looks cool, but seriously, it looks extremely awkward.

    Hopefully coaching staff prioritise teaching him to run in the off season

    Rockets want him to play PG but if he focus only on scoring and play SF he could average 20+ a game. Last night, if he did not have to think about playing the PG position and trying to get people open he could have scored at least 40 points. We need to trade Wood and get a young player....i wish we could get in the Nets/76ers trade....

    Nets: Curry, Wood and Gordon(more size and outside shooting, and more defense with Gordon) also 2 FRP
    76ers: Harden
    Rockets: Simmons

    He is too short for SF at 6'4" tall, and we are not winning very much with anyone on this roster....lol

    It doesn't really matter what you call him, call him PG, call him SF, he's still by far the best ball handler on the court and really the only player capable of running the offense aside from MAYBE Sengun.

    KPJ has looked pretty good in the role already and it's likely that he continues to improve.

    So there is like 60.3% of his 3s unaccounted for? OR most of them.

    They must be off 1-2 dribbles??

    Cherry picking stats?

    those are actually pretty solid numbers when you take into account our coach’s inability to run any kind of structured offense or Wood’s inability to set a pick. KPJ has progressed quite nicely.

    Wish they could break a high school press consistently though.

    He wasn't in for most of that.

    KPJ is showing signs of being THE DUDE - this team needs someone that leads, maybe he can be that guy?

    Right now, he seems to have the highest upside out of everyone.

    Who cares that game was over, he was frustrated...that is such a nothing burger.

    Never mind the 30 points on efficient shooting and what 8 assists?

    He is getting it together.

    Haha that was Shaqting a fool.

    Raptors were giving us the Harden treatment, full court pressure.

    Hold your horses, big boy.

    We are not winning HC with anyone on the roster right now...... one step at a time.

    He definitely is improving and I’m glad to be wrong when I was ready earlier on to move him to the bench in a reduced role.

    Still the guy is a little bit of a goof and that’s fine. Javale McGee is a good example of a goof like this that still can contribute despite being Shaqtin highlight factory. Hopefully with KPJ it’ll just be little charming F ups and not leaving the arena at half time F ups.
