lol, the difference is so clear...huge gap between the 2


That’s a pretty high bar AD is a legit superstar the only reason he’s not hyped up by espn is because he doesn’t play with lebron and he’s on the pelicans not GS

He has also been in the League for what 3 more years then KP? I’m not making excuses just need to remember context here

I hear you. if he is half way smart, he will find a way to the spurs

I wonder what actions KP would take next summer after another year of jockeying for lottery balls? Will he try to flex on the FO again?

The Spurs would not tolerate his laziness and selfish play.

KP was clearly outplaying both AD and Cousins first three quarters of yesterdays game. KP is 22 and 2-3 years behind AD, it's not right to compare them yet.

Will Hornecek ever learn that playing KP the entire 1st and 3rd quarters is stupid? KP should be on the Embiid schedule.

Like said before he needs to get better rebounding he gets out hustle on boards a lot and he needs to average 10 rebounds a game for guy his size.

I'm not sure 10 a game will ever be easy for him. Those ultra tall players are never as good rebounders as you'd expect them to be. Look at Yao Ming, he only averaged over 10 twice in his careers, and while he had other physical limitations, KP will never be half as strong as Yao.

I'd be happy if he hits around 8 a game for now. At least he's already rebounding at a higher average rate than Bargnani, since he's otherwise playing like him right now.

Or BOS. Stevens would have him in the top 10 best NBA players.

And if many on this board got their wish before the draft, he would be.
