Are fanbois really saying that he’s better than LaMelo?? Or is that just a made up example to highlight the type of delusion they spew?
they didn’t but I do remember a few of them saying Lin was being held back by Harden and he was the better player and even some wanting to outright trade Harden early in his houston tenure.
This is an issue with Twitter culture in general with almost any topic. "What do you think of X?" "It's alright I guess, there's some issues that need addressing but could be..." "WhY aRe yOu So "X"-pHoBiC" KPJ stans no different.
Terry Rozier $$$ 22/23:...$21.5 mil 23/24:...$23.2 mil 24/25:...$24.9 mil 25/26:...$26.6 mil Terry Rozier Ast%...vs.....KPj Ast% 15/16:...16.5 16/17:...15.2 17/18:...17.5 18/19:...17.7 19/20:...20.4..............vs........13.9 ( as a SF....Cavs ) 20/21:...20.0...............vs.......31.2 21/22:...19.7...............vs.......30.7 KPj is just learning PG and he blows Rozier out of the water. LaMelo Ball stats: Year........Pts....Rebs....Ast.....FG%......3P% 20/21....15.7....5.9.......6.1.....43.6......35.2 KPj first full year at PG stats: 21/22:....15.6....4.4......6.2....*41.5.......37.5......[ *shot 42.5 in 20/21 ] LaMelo last season stats: Year........Pts......Rebs.....Ast.....FG%.......3P% 21/22:....20.1......6.7.......7.6.....42.9........38.9 My Projections for KPj 22/23:....20.4.....5.5......7.8....44.7........37.7 So no, I'm not saying KPj is better than LaMelo but KPj trajectory will progress fairly well towards LaMelo numbers. And KPj is better than Rozier who makes Booku Bucks. LaMelo Ast% vs KPj Ast% 20/21.....33.9....vs.....31.2 21/22.....35.7.....vs....30.7 I project KPj at:.......34.4 this year ( better targets ) Difference is LaMelo had better players around him that knew what they were doing and knew where they were suppose to be. Porter will get better as the quality of players around him improve. "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by Turkeys." Again, I'm not saying KPj is better than LaMelo.....but LaMelo is on a rookie contract slotted for him to make: 22/23:....$8.6 mil 23/24:....$10.9 mil 24/25:....$14.3 mil It makes no sense for KPj to be bound by rookie money amount like LaMelo when he is not a rookie. If people think LaMelo is going to come off that rookie contract and accept $12 mil.....you are crazy. His salary is going to jump to $35 mil to $40 mil when the new TV contract coming. It's sad to see Rockets fans chastise this young kid while he is learning a new position for the first time in the best league in the world vs the best athletes in the world.
