Why was he drafted in the top ten then? :patrice:

It’s a Pistons L either way. :manny:

By your logic he’s already a wasted lottery pick at what.... 19 years old? :sas1:

No team throws a top 10 pick in the bushes after 1 season come on, breh :sas2:

if that’s what you want the pistons to do then :hubie:
This nxgga subconsciously knows he's on the wrong end of the Cade v. Jalen battle, and has now carefully picked up the goal posts and moved them to discussing Killian Hayes. Got folks biting on it too.

:wow:

You can’t tell he has never EVER seen Killian Hayes play basketball. Not a highlight nothing

he plays good defense and is nice size for a PG especially only 19 years old

that’s all I need to know. He’s far from a bust everyone’s making him out to be so far

He is worthless on offense. And hes not a stopper. He is good on defense but a guard who cant shoot or score at all is a 15 minute defesive backup guard at best. Im.not gonna say bust bc sometimes it takes dudes multiple years(billups) but it aint looking good rn

Rockets fans begging for Jalen’s best friend to start over him
Plus Jalen got the worst plus/minus in the entire league currently


Ant Edwards was in the same boat most of his rookie season... now just 1 year later tons of of y'all falling over yourselves to crown him the franchise player of his team over perennial all-star KAT. :skip: Let these literal teenagers play a few fukking months/years and figure it out with time, jesus christ. :snoop: Imagine these hot takes ~3 months into an entire career about someone like Giannis in his rookie year compared to who he is now. :unimpressed:

That’s disrespectful to Malik in every single way.

This is a textbook example of what I'm talking about; Monk himself was dogwater for years when he first came into the league. Shot <40% from the field while averaging a triple single and cosplaying a traffic cone on defense... now he's one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise disastrous Lakers season. This shyt takes time for everybody that isn't a Luka/Zion type superstar, those are 1 in ~200 outliers as far as rookie prospects go.

So half a decade later are we questioning why monk didn’t go number one? Lol

Looks like we didnt need ten years

Cade is smarter, a better teammate, a better leader, better shooter and just a flat out better basketball player

more like he’s on a better team with better teammates while being given more opportunity and better coaching, support, mentoring and media love

I dunno why everyone wants to hate green like he’s Westbrook or something
