What if RJ becomes league average in the paint? I mean, Brunson is absolutely elite, yet he's smaller and less athletic than RJ. I'm hoping RJ gets some craftiness on his drives and post ups.

He was absolutely lights out. Yeah, he could use more volume, especially if he's killing it like that. “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks

RJ has some glaring below average shooting weakness if he raises his poor numbers while maintaining what he is good at he becomes much more effecient and impactful. I would imagine he could improve to above average in areas but that's my point RJ improving is likely the most reasonable option then trading for a all star |

You know you can count on him to sop up minutes. 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.

How ****ing awesome was the Celtics game when they went up by 2 at the end with 5 seconds left, RJ got the in bounds and then drove straight to the hoop for a dunk to send the game into overtime? How many guys in the NBA can do that? |

How many nba players can do that? 75% can dribble and dunk How many players do that with the game on the line? 5% or less |
