    DD, with all due respect, KPJ dribbling anywhere and creating for himself is EXACTLY the problem. Most teams prefer to run an offense.

    KPJ was always a good enough shooter but he refuses to be just a movement shooter, he does not play to his real strengths....

    But instead wants to be Harden and he is just not great at it.

    There's a `reason that KPJ gets passed around more than a Kardashian, It's because he sucks more than they do,

    Always a marked matchup on the calendar.....Bucks vs Wizards even with Cam out.

    KPJ has more of an NBA future than Cam at this rate.

    Bad sign for Cam

    19yr old (and 6th pick) Tre Johnson is starting now and on fire.

    Not only is he showing elite 3PT shooting (and 88% FT), he’s got a midrange game.
    50% from 10-16’ and 48% overall from 3-16’…on over 100 middy attempts.

    check these last few games

    This draft class may turn out to be one of the best in a long time. The top 6 picks all look very good to various extent. Coward and Queen also have high potential.

    Just saw Cam is out indefinitely with DVT in shoulder. Hope he recovers quickly.

    Its not circumstance. Its habits. None of these players have good habits.

    People don't understand that all of these players are talented. At one point and time, they were considered the MAN; in Junior High, High School, College, AAU or whatever.

    So, more times than not, its not talent, its the situation they are placed in, be it coaching, rotations, system or whatever.

    I still think JG can be a good player, its just that his style did not mix with Sengun. He needs to be in a wide open system. Same for Tari Eason. That's why he didn't sign his contract. He wants to start to show case his talents.

    Situation plays a role. But if the guy is willing to work hard instead of think entitlement, he will eventually shine.

    And if Jalen Green was really super talented and did not mix well with Sengun, Sengun would have been the one who got traded.

    KPJ had a terrible shooting night but had 10 assists and 1 turnover and he had the game winning pass to Giannis for the dunk.

    We need a ball handling creator like that on this team desperately.

    Yeah best to keep losing to the Mavs, Pels, Kings, and every other crappy team that pressures KD.
