Yeah he has a bunch of issues. Turnovers and he overcommits on defense way too often. Almost gave up the 3 at the end of the game with his dumb defense
Luka plays dumb like Lonnie-dumb or Dejounte-dumb during their first years. Once he puts it together, there's not many players like him in the league. How many players can run with the ball as fast as he just did in tonight's game and do a reverse slam while being as tall as he is?
Bruh Angel Rodriguez looks barely 6'. He had a heck of a first game with the Austin Spurs
Keldon is clutch as . Always looking to get to the rim and do a strong big body finish. I like that a lot. Never loses his composure and his drives almost always result into a lay up. Getting high percentage shots in crunch time is exactly what you want
Ok, let me get this straight. Your conspiracy theory is that RC is rigging the player of the game awards for the Austin Spurs to give them to Sammanich? Lay off the meth man... Lay off the meth. At least make 'em funny...
BUT SOMEBODY must have CALLED and made sure
LUKA got
"PLAYER OF THE GAME"
Just got home from the game. Knee injury looked bad for metu but he came back in the second half and was fine. Offensive player ran in to his knee and he was down for a bit. The refs were atrocious. Keldon is the real deal and I think he will end up being the best part of the nephew trade, He pretty much took over in overtime. Luka might be a good player for us in a year or two, he’s a great shooter imo.
Damn even in G League people doing the Tony Vs Manu bull why can’t ya just appreciate and root for both players?
Harden lite
never seems like hes getting off the floor when he scores
I called it. This was my comparison from since we drafted him. A taller, tougher Harden.
Dude can’t shoot no where close to Harden
Obviously not yet. But his driving ability is an exact copy of Harden.
Ok I buy that
Haden has a career 37% rate. Not exactly a sharpshooter in today’s NBA. Keldon matching that isn’t an impossible task.
It's a matter of volume and not accuracy when talking about Harden, though. Plenty of NBA players can shoot 37% from deep - but how many can average 35ppg at the same time? I wouldn't want Keldon to develop a Harden-like game, though, it's just cancerous basketball. He can score all he wants but a team with him as the main star is never winning a ring - once you get to the deeper stages of the playoffs, with a scheme as obvious as the Rockets', top defenses will easily allow him his points and block out his teammates, who are never allowed to catch a good rhythm.
I would much rather have Keldon develop a nice jumper but learn to play within a team offense, and have his finishing ability as a tool not coupled with excessive ballhandling like Harden's. A combination of White, Lonnie, and Keldon could do some serious two-way damage; all three can shoot, defend, finish around the rim, and pass (I haven't seen enough passing from Keldon to see how good he is at that, though). Hope for the future.
You are correct
I would bet if Harden did not take so many contested shots his percentage would be much higher.
Hopefully Keldon can shoot a high percentage in time.
God bless you for saying that. But don't expect any reform in the fanboys.
He's just BARELY getting all those layups off against D-league defenders, just about every shot in that video gets blocked in the NBA
In the beginning, sure. KJ is a big body, though, and will learn to throw that body into the shot blocker to keep him away from the ball.
Austin vs. OKC starting now on FSSW.
Hoping Keldon Johnson is in Pop's rotation by February or March.
(Probably unrealistic.)
Keldon with the brick
A rarity.
KJ is 6-9 for 13 points at the half.
He needs to show more 3pt consistency else Pop will just continue with Forbes
