WHO THE fukk SAID HES PROVEN ANYTHING?
If you're admitting he hasn't proven anything, what exactly are you arguing in here?
Until he has proven something about the projection you have for him, you ain't got shyt to say. No amount of huffing and puffing, not saying a cotdamn thing, amounts to anything.
Everything I'm saying is based on facts that actually happened, you are in your feelings about the nikka for whatever reason and nothing matters that actually happens. You said he'd struggle to score in college, clowned yourself.
Well, this is a cotdamn lie, in itself, because I've pulled you up many a times making up stats about him. I've pulled you up about making up feats of his during games that you've used to exaggerate what really happened.
You argue with nothing but emotion, hence why you're screeching up and down this thread.
Said he'd be lucky to average 16ppg as a rookie, he averaged 23 in 28 minutes, on to the next goal post.
Oh would you look at that - another lie.
I never said that. I would never reduce my argument to some box score stats, for starters. In fact I made this a point of emphasis that I didn't care for his box score stats because they don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, not when you have fake stars like Julius Randle con their way to putting up numbers, all to have their chain took in the postseason when they get exposed.
This is how that exchange went down:
Yall nikkas when he comfortably averages 16/10/5/2 with a 52% fg percentage
It's going to take some sort of miracle for him to "comfortably" average those numbers.
For starters, for him to average five assists, either Lonzo and/or Jrue and/or Ingram will have to go down injured (he's NOT averaging that amount of assists if they all stay healthy), or the Pelicans have the most high-powered offense in history for all four of them to average a high-amount of assists. And if the former ends up being the result, and he averages five assists - 16 points on 52 FG% seems abnormally high that he'd be producing at a rate for a rookie on an understrength lottery team, likely playing in a position and a role that he's not comfortable in (which would affect his efficiency). And if the latter is true, then the Pelicans would likely be the #1 seed.
I think it's safe to say he's not going to be
comfortably averaging those numbers
. Plus, nobody should be looking at his box score #s to evaluate his season/growth. Y'all nikkas need to come up off that.
He then went on to average:
22 points
6 rebounds
2 assists
0.7 steals
0.4 blocks
Numbers not even remotely close to that projection of him, let alone comfortably.
I even mentioned in that very post that nobody should be using his box score stats to evaluate his season. I couldn't give a fukk about how many points he scores in the regular season, it means nothing to me. That's not the litmus test of how good someone is. Only casuals think that's the case because they have no foresight.
Its an actual fact that he's a dominant player EVERY night. It's a fact. Not a made up opinion or something that's just a biased take, he's a dominant player, AS IS.
Nobody is talking about 5 years from now or any of that shyt, only you because you need an angle to hate on some shyt
Then what the fukk is it you're trying to do here?
Are you just going to keep talking about what he does in the regular season for the next five years? We're already five years into his career, and I bet at this point, you would've sworn down that he would be running the league by now, but as you know, that's been far from the case. In fact, I can remember you saying something to that effect during his rookie season (that he would be the face of the league at this point), but yet here we are and in Year 5, he's out here still playing on a lottery team.
But hey, it's all about them regular season #s, right....
