The thing that stunted RJ was less about coaching and more about teammates. RJ can’t be the focus with Brunson and Randle being better players, plus RJ plays better on an offense without legit centers in the paint.
If Randle was injured before the trade maybe RJ would have increased his value a bit.

What big things did IQ accomplish
We're talking about player development, aren't we.
IQ finished second in 6MOY voting in his 3rd season and scored high every year in impact metrics. It's a positive development arc, no matter how much energy you want to spend diminishing him.
Yeah he developed and he’s good. But you keep making like he’s some surefire stud. We’ve already gone over this issue — positive development is one thing, impacting winning I don’t think I agree on how you’re defining that.
You can’t just say that and leave it at that without more.
Anyway positive development and impacting winning are great but you also make like criticizing IQ is always a personal attack on him lol, and maybe most crucially those metrics don’t mean a guy is worth $25M as a starting PG.
If it all leads to that, then maybe the development actually cost you a mistake (in paying and playing him big) because he has a good stat profile.
And you can’t go from thinking IQ was close to making it a wrap on his greatness to then rolling that back to well he was at least a guy who developed.
I am throwing a lot at you but I don’t think he looks that good in Toronto either. In fact I think they’re making a mistake.
