TJ is going to be a starter for many years to come. All Star might be pushing it.

What will you do in 2-3 years when exposed as clueless? I will try to remember to bump it.

Anyway, TJ is very good and the Cavs also want him. He averages almost 10apg and almost 5rpg with good defense. That is really good. Do I need to remind you of what a young Jason Kidd looked like? TJ is a point guard of the Stockton, Kidd, Rondo, Rubio, which most modern fans simply do not know how to value.

Kidd's third season was 10-9-5 on 40%, 4th season 11-9-6. Look how that turned out.

This is the problem when you don't know what you're watching. TJ falls low on the scale because he is a true pass first guard, so he doesn't pass some of the more easily digestible stats, but as Bondom understands, he already makes an impact in the on/off.

I'll try to remember to bump this thread.


Why choose to go the sensationalist route with this thread? It's not helping your case, and I see you already backtracked on the all star thing.

On the season (45 games), he's putting up 5.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 6 apg, 1.4 spg on 49% ts.

His sample size as a starter is only 15 games, with averages of 8.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 9.1 apg, 1.5 spg on 52.8% ts. That's not much to go on.

Do you realize how often this happens? Tim Frazier (who I like) did this to end last season and start this season with even better numbers. Ramon sessions years back. Duhon for an entire season. What he's doing isn't that special, and he hasn't shown Kidd like potential in his player profile.

If you think he has the ability to start in this league for several years, I'd say that's more than reasonable. Beyond that is a real reach.

You got to take some chances. To be fair, relatively speaking, the hyperbole here is not different than Giannis for example.

He passes my eye test. I am big on the eye test, so I make a statement based purely on my eye test and if it is vindicated, my eye test is vindicated. It just so happens this guy has the stats to back it up.

10-10-5-2, great statline for a pass first point guard in his 2nd year.

Show me where I attributed those stats to TJ McConnel?

I wrote: "10-10-5-2, great statline for a pass first point guard in his 2nd year."

Did I say TJ averaged that? No I did not.

I said 10-10-5-2 was a great statline for a pass first point guard in his 2nd year. That's all. As in, if he averaged that, it would certainly be a great statline.

You guys be like those media hounds looking for someone to slip up.

Another game, another win, another 11 assists from TJ.

For the Embiid less 76ers.

I think he's gonna be a solid pro. He comes from a basketball family. As of now I haven't seen anything that makes me think all star but, you never know. He needs to work on his shot this summer that will open things up for sure.

Nowadays I think you need to be able to score high volume of points to be an allstar.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

i think he'll be a very good backup PG for the sixers. right now he's pretty limited on offense. but he is a pretty good defender, and he knows the system. he plays with a lot of confidence and control. if he can practice on his 3 point shooting, he's gonna be so valuable. He's just a smart, heady basketball player. he's the type of player that championship caliber teams have on their bench imo.
