    If kpj ups his ppg and free throw percentage, there's really no reason to not extend him.

    KPJ's stats in the preseason.

    24.8mpg
    16.8ppg
    47.8 FG%
    52.6 3pt FG%
    72.2 FT%
    4 apg

    If you add in 33% more for the seasonal avg of 36mpg, his stats would be:

    25ppg
    6apg

    Not too shabby.

    Did Jordan average Poole just raise the price for Kpj?

    It shouldn't be about his individual stats, but about the value he brings to the team.

    Kevin Martin is turning in his grave

    Rockets fans loving this rebuild until Green, KPJ and Smith asks for 50 mill per and Tilman starts telling Stone to shut up and listen

    I wonder if the FO sees this as a sign to let the extension deadline pass and wait until FA to see what the market for KPJ will be like.

    I'm sure it will ultimately have some effect on what Kevin below average Porter Jr. gets simply because his agent will bring it up, but there are a lot of things about Poole that will not be favorable comparisons for KPJ.

    Interesting range. No less than 28, no more than 30.

    Poole is a bench player who plays no defense getting paid 35m a year

    I think if KPJs efficiency the last two seasons was 58 and 60 TS% like Pooles we would have already signed him to a pretty lucrative extension.

    And if KPJ manages to have a well over league average efficiency season this year he will probably earn himself a lot of money from us or someone else.

    Preseason he had 2 low efficiency games and 2 Uber efficient games. We will see how it all plays out over 82 games.

    Who would you draft out of those two to start your franchise with from scratch?
