If Jalen Suggs plays for 29 other teams general consensus about his rookie year from this forum would be -he sucks, we dodged a bullet.
But since he joined favorite team of yours, people have incredible need to defend undefendable.
Somebody in nba who shoots 22,8% for 3, who shoots sub 40% mid range, who has -8 net rating, who has historiclly low efficiency ( Mudiay, Exum historic), who makes rookie MCW look like prime Steph Curry in terms of efficiency & scoring maybe, just maybe isn't as good as you hoped he will be when you used 5th pick to draft him?
There are things that are subjective in life, such are: taste of pizza with pineapple on.
There are things that are not subjective in life such is being 10% below league's average in just about every efficiency metric.
Plays defense, pesky defender, good at ball pressure, not exponentionally advanced passer, mediocre ballhandler, very bad shooter. Who did i described? Rookie Michael Carter Williams or Suggs? And if difference is non, why we pretend there is one?
YoU aRE HaTeR. Why? Because i call somebody that looks like poop, smells like a poop, plays like a poop- s**t ?
How did my harping on Bamba aged ? Suprise suprise, 4 years later " HaTeR PePe" was right. I'm yet to recive apologizes for people who called me hater. Guys, feel free to do so whenever you feel. Hell, there is one poster, who knows well who he is, who said Bamba is more talented than Vuc
How did my harping on Payton aged? Two moderators losing their ***t over him for 3 years.
Last year i had huge fight with one poster about Cole Anthony not being starting level guard in nba. Well...that aged well.
Two years ago how many people attacked me for saying Fultz is broken and won't regain his shot? Any apoligizes for being wrong ? Nah.
My description of Okeke as "bench Ariza" was met with lot of hate. Guess who can't start on worst team in nba?
Any apologizes for being blocked in debates that Gordon isn't next star player Magic are waiting for?
One year of life wasted on endless debates can and should Isaac play SF. (can't, shouldn't , didn't).
This is what this forum normally does. They blow player out of proportion, portray young players in fashion that outside would think they talk about young Jordan, than after they are proven to be wrong, they move to adore and worship new shiny toy and never talk about things they said about previous player in past.
Unlike that modus operandi of forum i will say what i think about player like he is not part of my team. Sometimes i will be wrong, sometimes i will be right. But i don't hide from mistakes. But i also don't think every player that puts jersey on Magic will have He-man transformation from Wes Iwundu to Jimmy Butler ( of f*** it, even that was a thing after we drafted him )
Why you will never see me or anybody with any basketball knowledge being Franz "hater" ? Because guy is simply good. Being hater meaning having no reason to "hate" on somebody or something yet doing so. Calling very,very,very bad rookie -bad isn't being hater, it's being honest. Something most fans from this forum, when it comes to subject, simply aren't.
Of f*** it , this is my last post about him for calendar year 2022. I'm just tired of this s*** repeating itself over and over again. I really have better things in my life in free time to do than debate how player who shoots 36,7% FG, 22,8 for 3 and has no mid range game , has -5,2 BPM, negative net rating, awful PER, is among worst gaurds in nba by TS% won't have miracle summer where he will return and become elite at everything. Especially because he struggles with basics for guards like pick&roll, passing, floor vision.
