2024-2025 Regular Season Game 75: Sacramento Kings vs Orlando Magic

[Bensational]

Talk about blinders on with a prewritten narrative...AB with 8 pts in 25 minutes against a horribly defenseless team, with 4 assists and 5 turnovers...BUT he shot 100% on his one 3pt attempt

awesome!

Credit where it's due...not where it's not

The post you quoted is only showing you AB’s shooting %’s over the last 9 games, what prewritten narrative are you talking about? You don’t even want to give him credit where it’s due - his improved shooting %’s. Prewritten narrative much?

If he’s going to cherry pick stats as if it’s been a linear improvement…that’s just finding what you want and choosing to ignore the bigger picture. I’m as quick to praise AB as anyone, when warranted…it’s the childish “look he put his shoes on the right feet” fanboy BS that’s biased…if it started with “ too many turnovers but…” I’d give his foolishness more credence. It’s day to day with AB, up and down…if a guy that apologists still want to call a PG has MORE turnovers than assists in a 121 point blowout…then you/they are choosing to look the other way.

What foolishness?? You’re acting as if rob was celebrating AB’s stats like the 2nd coming, lol.

And yeah the turnovers were sloppy but we can probably afford to look the other way on a game of bad turnovers considering he’s been averaging near 15ppg over the last 5-6 games and against good competition. Just monitor if this is him regressing to his mean or if it was just a bad game.

This game is seriously not worth analyzing for AB. He was awesome in the 1st half when they pulled away big time. Came in after they pulled away even more very late in 3rd and played at walking speed letting Queen, Jett and TDS get the bulk of shots. The game was over his entire stint in the 2nd half. I'm not mad that he didn't go hard for buckets in a blowout and let his teammates who don't play shoot the ball.

You don't want to see the turnover numbers, but a few were freak miscommunications, turnovers haven't really been a problem with him lately.

I don't think anybody is saying he's been great or looks like the surefire PG of the future, but he was around a 50 TS% for most of the year then put up 55.8% in FEB and 59.4% in March. That is promising to see out of a 21 year old who is always a steady presence on defense.

I think he looks great and is the sure fire point guard of the future.

I'm a believer as well, but I was trying to word my post so all sides can let it go. If I say that then the argument continues .

Actually I would be lying if I said I think he is guaranteed to be a PG, but I think he will be a guy that can play 30+ minutes a night in the NBA in some kind of role and be a positive. Maybe it's at PG, maybe it's an off ball guard next to a dominant PG, maybe it's as a 3 if he gets a little stronger. I like that he has many possibilities.

We'll learn a lot more about him during this playoff push, and if we make it, playoff series. Regardless though, he's a keeper.

Jett is not 22 yet, we ll see. Don't be impatient or you ll be proven wrong again

Caleb Houstan is 22 and has proven to be better than Jett in the minutes they have both played this season.

as i said Jett is only 21 and you ll be proven wrong again :^)

For one, in two season, Jett has not shot better than Caleb. Two Seasons. He is not an NBA player. He will be out of the league within 5 years. Were you one of those Bamba is the next Dwight guy for years?

Jett is not 7 feet tall like Bamba, shooter who can't make shots has a snowball in hell chance to stick in the NBA. Too many undrafted marksmen lurking around ready to jump on in. As of now I don't think Magic will opt in on his last year. So its either Europe or maybe some team takes a chance on him on minimum. Juwan has connection, maybe he is still on the Nets and can pick him up.
Don't feel sorry for Jett. Pro ball is a jungle, you are either a hunter or hunted. Magic literally have the worst guards rotation in the NBA this season not to get any PT here is a crime.
