    Nah you're the attention seeker --- I'll give you an idea, but you might be left grief stricken.

    I guess the most positive thing that can be said about your hero KPJ is that Jalen and Jabari have been shooting even worse. But they will get there.

    That's only part of it, the OP clearly has some kind of pathological condition at play here when it comes to KPJ. Given how well he's played lately, this is to be expected.....and likely only gets worse. I truly hope he seeks help.

    I mean, since Christmas KPJ has put up a 19.4/5.9/5.4 line shooting 41% from 3 with a 60.3% TS%

    This kind of absurd freakout by people like the OP was inevitable.

    kj has only straight away hops as well as 2nd jump... jalen has that plus top level burst, fluidity, hang time, body control

    Overall I'd say Jalen. But KJ gets a lot out of his athleticism.

    Average distance of FG attempts for your stepdaddy? 5.9 feet with a 17% turnover rate. Totally revolutionizing the sport! Maybe one day he wont be so chickenshit to shoot outside of the free throw line and will actually hold on to the ball.

    KJ jumps high and Green runs fast and jumps high.

    Looks like I was wrong on this one. I still love KMJ's hops and cutting ability. His aggressiveness and his bounce are an asset. I hope once we fix our culture issue (coach and honcho) and once we add a top pick and great vet via FA/trade, he will sign a reasonable long-term deal with us.
