MPJās biggest flaw as a prospect was terrible shot selection. He took horrid shots. But he also made them.
Everything else he couldāve improved easily.

Correct me if I’m wrong but was MPJ’s draft comparison Paul George or another player like PG13? I feel like it wasn’t, that seems like a very odd choice given how different the two play.

Iām truly a piece of shit since this man is out here with an NBA championship with rods and shit in his back and Iām over here complaining about my stiff back from sitting on the couch

MPJ without back injuries was on the trajectory of being looked at as a LeBron, KD, AD, Zion, etc. level of a prospect

He flashes that athleticism sometimes. I thought this year he looked the best heās had in a long time. You saw it on defense especially.
Just a rough playoff outing against minny lol so no one will remember it.

Crazy how history works. Without that injury he doesnāt fall to the Nuggets. Without a player as great at shooting as MPJ as their third option who knows if Denver wins a chip. The core 4 of Jokic/Murray/Gordon/MPJ when all healthy has a pretty great win % from what I remember.

I hope people can see how big of a deal serious chronic back issues can be when it’s not related to Ben Simmons.

MPJ just actually too dumb to be that amazing at this level lol

It’s just sad that MPJ and Zion were probbably the two most naturally gifted players in the draft but both had serious injuries.

Imagine trying to play defense in the NBA with drop foot…

Being from Mizzou, I was pumped for him. He played what 8 games? And I was at bdubs couple nights ago, they still had his Mizzou jersey hanging on the wall. To have the injury he had and only play like a handful of games but still make the league is something

just watch the porter brothers highschool highlights. Michael was a guaranteed star until the injuries hit that almost everyone knew were going to hit due to the hardcore vegan lifestyle.

May actually be one of the “still had good career but what couldve been” type players.

Iām a Nuggets fan as well as a Heat fan, but I see a ton of Nuggets fans being a bit delusional thinking that one day, MPJ will just unlock all that lost potential. If you look at their sub, people still think he has the highest potential on the team, but itās pretty obvious the guy is too stiff to handle. Also, he always looks stiff as hell when attacking the rim.
His bad lower back really set him back and itās a miracle his career has been as good as it has been given the chronic issues. Backs just donāt heal up very well. If weāre counting on MPJ for a leap to put us over the edge, then itās going to be a bit of an off year. I am hoping Braun or Watson improve their games, because I canāt see MPJ all of a sudden becoming shifty or a playmaker.
