If Lillard, Trae Young and James Harden get worse treatment by the refs this year, why should rookie JG become an exception......
Kobe Bryant looked so bad, coaches were talking about whether drafting out of high school should even be allowed. He did not know how to play defense or use his handles. Could not shoot. Did not have the strength to attack the basket. They kept talking about his small hands. He was uber athletic though. Steve Nash was a nobody till his 5th season with all the fundamentals in the world. Take your pick.
and you know what...i just find an interesting thing - guess 10yr ago the NBADRAFT.com compared young Bradley Beal with which NBA veteran? give ya a little hint: also Johnny's teammate... Spoiler: guess b4 click on it Spoiler: reference https://www.nbadraft.net/players/bradley-beal/
Ego was an all star level player, but always injured.....he was a star at Indiana - he was much more NBA ready. Would we consider it a success if Green has an EGo like career? Is that the bar? That bar is much lower than superstar. And yes, EGo needs to be traded - he deserves to go to a winner. DD
Gordo needs to be traded for a FRP and to the crappiest team possible, but crappy teams won't be interested for the same reason we are trying to trade him.
One step at a time, all-star level is too far away for jg, (even the chances of ROY looks slim now) i only hope around nov this yr jg can be much more stronger than wht he looks likes now …as stronger as BB? Thats cool! As thiic as GORDO? hell no! lol, that means he gonna lose much of his agility n leaping ability.
Was never a fan of Suggs as top 5 pick. Average assist rate, inconsistent 3ball and turnover prone, red flags for PG.
More excuses - the whining this year by players and their fans.....by the mistreatment of the refs.... Up to the players to adjust.....stop whining, play smarter. DD
On this we agree. The refs are always an issue, therefore, they are never an issue. Green is getting to the line quite often for a rookie. He needs another move or two rather than just a straight line shot against NBA bigs. This off-season he needs to get stronger and add a floater and/or a short jumper.
He will NEVER be a strong type of player, IMHO, he will be lithe and quick, which is fine - he needs to develop so much - Handles need work, needs a floater, a midrange stop and pop, a hesitation move, a Euro step.....just to help. Change speeds change directions........that is how you beat players - he needs a ton of work. DD
Are those supposed to be “egregious missed calls? because I’m not really seeing it. Offensively, everyone thinks they’re fouled. Spoiler Defensively, nobody has ever fouled. LOL Harden fan (arxanii) saw Harden fool the refs for years, now thinks Jalen should get those calls. Not even the stars get that call with the new rule change/emphasis
