Man vets not saving every knuckle head this dude has something innately wrong with himAdditionally why vets are so dang important.
If dude had maybe someone else instead of John Wall throwing him under the bus and Christian Wood being a goof, maybe dude would have learned to be more accountable. I think of what Gil was saying in his recent episode about why the vet or two he mentioned were critical to him and it went to shyt when they left.
I blame KPJ above all, so don't get me wrong, but dude did have some real shytty circumstances before the league and in it. A lot of people cleaned up their act because of good veteran leadership. Houston has had none of that outside of coaching, but that isn't always enough if you have enabling players.
It sucks because he was like a big brother to Jalen and Sengun specifically along with some of the others so I thought that'd give him some exposure to leadership, but dude didn't have good guidance himself and probably was trying to navigate everything out on the fly.
John Lucas was the assistant coach of the rockets and this girls god father and he STILL does this. The same John Lucas he tried to fight just a year or two ago in Houston when he left a game at half time because he got benched.
You think if Jeff Green played with this kid he would have acted more maturely?
KPJ has played with Kevin Love, Kelly Olynk, Avery Bradley, Brandon Knight, Andre Drummond, DJ Augustin, and Larry Nance Jr. All pretty solid lockerroom guys and vets by name.
