look, we all hope he can turn it around. there's a level of impatience but there's also a level of seeing this thing before and knowing how it usually turns out. could rj make himself into a decent player one day ? sure. but we're getting closer and closer every day to knowing he's most likely not gonna be anything special. look at knox, we don't look at him anymore and think what he might become. we're just happy he's somewhat useful at all. we applaud the mediocrity because before we had nothing. rj is approaching that same territory.
Well look at Ariza. He was crap when we gave him up. Same with Mark Jackson. Both couldn’t play or shoot when we let them go and they both had successful careers.
You’re not wrong but the line between useful and good (or not good) are closer than they appear once your team is good and playing meaningful games.
We do have lower hopes for Knox but that doesn’t mean he won’t be a good player on a good team one day, and get near Maxed.
RJ could easily be as important as an Ariza or more. He could have a better career than Ingram still. Ingram isn’t winning.
We always complain that players play better when they leave here but never consider it's because we give up on players way too early.

Larry Brown would have made RJ cry. 15th man and DNPs
Herro dropped another 30 piece
Watch RJ play super passive tommorow being on Nat TV against Durant
Herro is a lunatic. I love him. He and Duncan Robinson 'splash cousins'knickabocker88 wrote:Jimmit79 wrote:Exactly RJ was born in wrong era he should have been on Larry browns pistons era.DaGawd wrote:As a guard/forward with weak athleticism being able to shoot or create your own shot is absolutely necessary.

I'd keep RJ. He'd be a decent 4th or 5th option if he's not paid too much.

He's basically our very own Shareef Abdur- Rahim.

It would be easier if he wasn’t so terrible looking on offense most nights. But when you look the way R has.. a fan base quickly loses all hope of that player becoming anything special.. which is deflating for a top 3 pick

i don't get what people don't see about this. it's becoming clearer with every passing game that the most we can hope for is just maybe a decent player one day. not even today, one day. well, who cares about him then ? and why the **** are we giving him 18 shots a game and 40 minutes if that's all he is ? he probably won't even be here after 4 years.

Most of the struggles are on RJ, but lets be real...it also is a horrible lineup to put around him with lack of spacing and PG play. Again, not to take responsibility away but that situation also doesnt do him any favors.
There is def a lack of patience though
