If we can get get next year :

20 ppg
6 rpg
4.5 apg
1.5 turnover per game

48% FG
40% 3
80% FT

I will be one happy camper. I think these can be reasonable numbers for him. An offseason to work on his mid range pullup and an increase at finishing at the rim will get him an extra 4 points right off the bat

RJ needs to watch videos of Harden. They are similar in that neither are uber athletic but are very talented. RJ needs to learn to finish at the basket like Harden. It would be nice if RJ could develop a step back 3 like Harden. I don't think RJ will be a great passer like Harden, but he maybe able to hold his own.

RJ reminds me more of Paul Pierce. I’ll take that.

Luca is a world class athlete? This reminds me of people not knowing what the fk their talking about, lol.

Magic wasn’t the greatest athlete, did you even see him play?

Don’t understand why there’s even any need to worry and be so pessimistic about the kid at this point. We hit on a pick and he’s developing ahead of schedule at a very young age unlike picks of Knox & Frank.

We should all just appreciate that fact and carry on focusing building with him and Julius. It’s not rocket science. That’s what good teams do, believe or not.

Hears to hoping the kid continues his strides his the postseason and hopefully takes it up another notch, on some Goku dragonball z type ish.

Special props to RJ for showing up today. Overall, RJ played with aggression in this series. RJ needs to add more to his game in the offseason. Learn to create your shot and be more perspicacious.

Was wondering when this baby would get bumped.

Gotta love the defensive progress he's showing this season. RJ really dove into his increased responsibility.
