    Dude air balled open 3s. JJ does a good job giving people chances and he tries to put them in a position to succeed: Knecht sphincter tightens up though

    Get your head out of your a** your on a good team which can use your skill set it's ok to be the 4th option and make it work. Rui has turned that into 10milloon plus dollar year contracts

    Unfortunately, we're in a spot with him now that it would have been much better had we just dumped Dalton for like a 2nd round pick or something to keep Goodwin.

    This guy has a pea brain. I said during the game chat, you can distract him by yelling squirrel.

    You know, it’s sports, it’s a game, so not being the brightest bulb isn’t always a big deal, but in this case, yeah, it is an issue. He dominated in college because you can do that on pure skill more there, but this is the NBA, everyone is super skilled, it’s the best players in the world.

    i think 30 years ago he's a borderline allstar. the funniest part is that he seems to be making strides defensively and having trouble on offense. would never have guessed.

    He’s not moving! Oh No did he die?

    That was such a funny get from @sirronstuff . Who was that American gal in the Olympics up on the medal stand? She had been “jobbed” IIRC correctly by the Chinese (?) and had her arms like that with the pissed look. Turn into Unimpressed Squirrel. Kyla Mulroney?

    :Laugh:

    Nah I didn't IIRC it. :giggle: McKayla Maroney and wasn't jobbed by Chinese. Took a fall in the vault and finished 2nd, and then in a brief 2 seconds on the stand according to her with a look that didn't mean anything she got Memed.

    Dumb f*** bricks and open 3 then shoves Aldama right in front of the ref in a close game for no clear reason.

    This guys pisses me off because he a legit NBA talent. A dude who could be a star and is too dumb to take it

    The word coming out of the draft was that it took him a bit to learn things. This is on Rob. While we all praised the pick, we aren't the ones interviewing the kid to see if he can understand a playbook. There should have been more due diligence done with this kid, but mistakes do happen, but you have to be extra cautious when you just drafted a bust previous to that in JHS.

    Now's he's at the end of the bench with really no value; hopefully we don't have to include a pick just to dump him like JHS. Just unbelievable.

    at the time, we were getting killed for not drafting whitmore over jhs, so passing on knecht for someone else might have created a full-on fan revolt.

    Might be one of the 5 dumbest players in the league. The IQ is not there.

    If you're dumb but have great talent, you can put blinders on -- Stevenson or JR. Dumber than a rock but could do some stuff. DK is shooter who can't shoot or understand what's in front of him on offense or defense.
