Coming from a fan just like the rest of us. To say someone is absolutely not going to become something is absolutely ludicrous. The guy is just getting his feet wet and if you watched the games where JI was feeling good on offense you could just see the confidence coming out in his game. If you give the man more touches he’s going to produce more simple as that. To try and say he’s not going to be great in this league based off of nothing more than personal opinion is laughable. Give the guy a chance to at least grow into his body and get consistent playing time and some plays called for him. God forbid we are patient with our players and actually let them develop here instead of on another team. I think too many people are wanting to win the quick and easy way with how the league is trending with all this buddy ball super team garbage. If we are patient and actually develop our players correctly we will be a scary team to beat. I’d rather develop our players and build something the right way than pull these Houston moves and over paying to try and stay relevant.

The only draft pick I feel like we missed on and could have gotten better talent was the year we got Mario Hezonja. There were better options available for sure but thankfully for us that management is gone besides the untouchables (Martins and the Devos family.) I agree with you though with the rest.

Who are you talking about? Are the near misses players we passed over or were they taken before we picked? Some things can’t be helped and some things can. I would be concerned about our talent evaluators if we passed over a guy.

Not just any player can score 16 points in one quarter against the Boston Celtics while both teams are competing for the playoffs. That is not just potential and that is not being desparate. That just proves he does have a chance to be that type of guy. Still will boil down to improving in the right area's, never being satisfied. I could see him being as good, if not better, than P. Siakam and that was awful good tjhis year. Will take a couple years but this was essentially his rookie year, so if he continues to improve next year (got to develop a game in the paint/near the basket) I think we will have mismatch at SF (in our favor) for most teams in the NBA.

he probably had one of the lowest usage rates on the team as well. He is really just asked to stand in the corner and shoot when open. Even when Isaac has like a 6 inch advantage, we dont go to him. I think it is sad, we dont look to him more.
