  1. KPJ can't be their PG if they want to win. Use him differently, but he shouldn't be the main decision maker.

  2. Kpj can be the starter if he’s more pass first, and really focuses on defense, but he can’t be taking as many shots as jalen Jabari or sengun if he’s our pg

  3. I just want it to come back here & say YALL ARE BORING AFFF!! Y’all talking like y’all just woke up smh drink a monster before coming on here. This is sports not no freaking library

  4. they need a Rubio/Rondo type of player. it will maximize the athletism of this young rockets team.

  5. People are crazy. Wanting to dump their second best player because he isn't instantly developed. Kpj barely played around 1 season as a PG. And has about the same experience as green. Both are improving as combos every game. Kpj and green when they work off each other like the game plan. They are already showing the flashes of being an extremely deadly duo. Short term not having a cp3 level vet PG does make things harder. But long term it is making them better, both as players and as a team.

  6. Funny how everyone ignores that when Green struggles Porter Jr steps up and carries the team. But ya'll keep searching for this "real" PG

  7. I think Kpj would make an AMAZING 6th man. Similar to what Jordan Poole is for the Warriors. If we get a more PG authentic player it would be awesome to be able to put KPJ on the bench and have him lead our second unit.

  8. I would love to see more Josh Christopher :/ I wish we would experiment with him more, or just simply play him

  9. Kpj is a better fit as a 6th man on this team. I would like to see tyty next to green. Happy JG finally getting recognized 🙌

  10. KPJ is more than just a 6th man.. He might still have a lot to learn about the point guard position, but he is automatic buckets.. And he has been vital in games where the Rockets have gone cold from the field..

  11. Alot of fans saying KPJ should be a 6th man…..smdh.

    Do you clowns know what kind of contract KPJ got??

    He won't be no 6th man, I tell you that! 😌

  12. The KPJ hate's not working. Especially since he was on the same team that won five out of nine, it's called synergy!

  13. The Big 4, Jalen, KPJ, Sengun, and Jabari Smith Jr. With Eason as the 6th man. If they developed these guys right (so far so good), this will be a really scary team in two years. Maybe even next year. Everybody just needs to buy in with passing the rock and not worry about scoring too much individually because it will come. I would say the Rockets will overachieved this year and barely make the playoffs, 9th in the West. Which will be more than they are expected to accomplish. Also, all this team needs a Veteran allstar or former allstar (kinda like CP3 to the Suns) by next year and they will be a contending team. They don't even need to break up the Big 4, they have enough 1st round draft picks (The nets 1st rounders til 2027) and enough extra young talent to trade for that all star vet.
    Lastly, I agree with you on KPJ, he's more of a shoot first, ball dominant guard, but he's young enough to still learn and buy in with passing the ball and just letting the scoring come to him. Which he kinda said in the post game interview last night, that he's learning that aspect. I used to think he should be part of a trade package along with a 1st round pick to get that allstar vet, but him and Jalen has really good chemistry, and they are like brothers, I don't want to mess that part of the team up. And after what he said last night and him being so young, i have hope. Anyway, been watching KPJ since his first day as a Rocket and it's more than just talk. These past few games, he has been shooting less forced shots and is actually trusting his teammates more and passing. Compared to last year where his shot selection used to make me cringe.

  14. Kpj is fine, him on the side of green makes our backcourt super explosive. Kpj is a mismatch problem and he’s getting better every game.

  15. I agree with them. When we get an actual pg, KPJ coming in as Jalens backup will elevate this team to another level. Just imagine getting scoot Henderson in the draft and staggering, he and Jaelyn’s minutes with KPJ. It will take care of some depth concerns and help to maintain our production.
