Bold to show up in this thread after your takes.Whaddya think?
What takes?Bold to show up in this thread after your takes.
What takes?
These?1. Absolutely will not start all season unless injuries force Hardy's hand.
2. 12mpg, 5ppg, 2apg, 2rpg, 0.5spg, 2tpg
3. Maybe 3rd team all-rookie if we have a good season as a team and he cuts down the spaz stuff.
These?
And even more so, this.These?
Some claim to see a playmaker in Keyonte. I don't. I think he's exactly in the same vein as Clarkson, THT and Sexton.
It's not enough to try a flashy pass now and then (all those guys can do it too). To be a playmaker is to see the game of basketball in a certain way. You treat the team as your tool.
Nothing I've ever seen from Keyonte leads me to believe he has a future as a starting PG in this league. He's a small shooting guard who's not that great at shooting.
Remind you of anyone in particular?
Not every aspect of Keyonte's effect on the floor can be boiled down by stats. Our spacing is different when he's out there. We rely less on hero-ball. He brings a certain je ne sais quoi. We need to assess him right now based on his positives not his negatives. He is soooo green still. Nearly every game he does something that shows his potential. His 10 FT last game is a great example of how he can change.All of those make perfect sense. That was back when it was still unclear if we were gonna tank or not. You really think Keyonte would be starting if we'd turned the season around and looked like a playoff team? HELL no.
Anyway, that's ancient history and we're obviously tanking, with a fire sale of players coming up.
Key may yet become a good player (and I hope he will) but right now he's one of the worst on the roster. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. And it's OK. I don't really get the mindset where there's a strong need to treat a rookie as a savior.
You are wrong about so many things again. The list keeps growing.All of those make perfect sense. That was back when it was still unclear if we were gonna tank or not. You really think Keyonte would be starting if we'd turned the season around and looked like a playoff team? HELL no.

That's not entirely the same as saying he will absolutely not start unless injuries force Hardy's hand.All of those make perfect sense.

Got it. So your take was absolutely correct just so long as we replace the real world with an exact replica where everything is the same except THT is Earvin Magic Johnson.All of those make perfect sense.
