This kid can be a special player if he truly put in the time to study the game. He is a legit 6'6" player that can already play at a very high level. However, he is not playing the game as one who is hungry for stardom. He often settles for the three point shot, which in my judgement could be his demise. He can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket; furthermore, he has a nice array of shots in his repertoire that he can use. If he simply can stop shooting the three ball so much, and be more active without the ball, he will be special.

Defensively, we already know he is horrible, but he has shown some improvements thus far.

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Don't give up on a young talent that quickly dude. Give him at least 3 years

quite frankly he needs some time in the D League to make his shot more consistant, learn how to make better choices, and to drive to the rim more

Or if you can find a team that will trade a 1st rounder for him, do it in a heartbeat

Out of 17 shots, he decided to take 8 three pointers, you have to blame that on coaching and poor habits by the young player. He is wayyyyyyh too confident for my taste

I don't really give up, I just make predictions. It looks like I have predicted right with him (so far).

He scared me last year with his inconsistency even though his (efficiency) numbers were good.

So, are you saying our organization is so bad that we can't harness this young talent?

His inconsistency stems from his reliance on the 3 ball. Once he misses his first 5 shots, he drops his shoulders and gives up. If he makes three of his first shots, he is very engage and thinks like an assassin.

Fawk you mean? All i see from this dude is athleticism and some wild shooting. JR Smith has talent. Melo has Talent. Amare has talent. Heck, if Galloway can work on his drives I would say he has talent. Thjr has potential to be very talented but is showing little to no signs of getting there.

THJ is cheap and if you truly are about developing players you can't just give up 40+ games into his sophomore season. Drafted players on the Sixers are still being developed why are we so quick to ditch the few guys we draft?
I'm not sayin THJ will turn out to be a success but there's no need to rush a kid on his rookie deal. I doubt anyone gives us a #1 for him either.

Yeah, it's natural for guys to have sophomore slumps. Let's give him more than half the season before we label him a bum. His projections aren't that much worse than Bradley Beal's last year.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

He's a one dimensional chucker and doesn't seem to want to change or improve upon his bad habits. That's a huge red flag for me no matter how young or cheap he is. Sure, keep him around and let him play on this clusterfuhuck of a season but I personally don't think he'll amount to much more than a poor mans Nick Young.

Get me Wes Matthews or Danny Green

If THJ is still here next year and not packaged in a trade with Calderon I do not want to see him starting at SG.

6th man at best because of inconsistencies and lack of defense

It's important we do not make the same mistake

With THJR as we did with Shumpert, he's probably


Not gonna hack it as a long term starting 2 guard

If there is peak value for him now probably have to pull the trigger


I think we started the yr off by not featuring him as a starter

We should have tried to create a mirage of value even if this


Was most likely not to be the case, oh well we never do anything right anyway

I knew he was a role player coming in and unfortunately you want 3 and D role players. He only plays one way and he does it pretty poorly. Still can be a knockdown shooter on the right squad ala Anthony Morrow but he doesn't have anywhere near the IQ level of a Korver.

If they could use THjr to trade Calderon I would say okay but he is cheap so it doesn't hurt for him to be here. Well sometimes it hurt my eyes watching him but it is what it is.

I think he set a career high in points and tied career highs in ast and rebounds against CHA so that's nice.
