PJ Hairston Is Better Than Gerald Henderson

LOL...

 

Like I said...  Dude is money.  Started 0-6 and ended up hitting two HUGE threes for us that would take Hendo 35 minutes a game for two weeks to get.

 

Regardless, even if he's missing, his threat of deep shooting completely spreads the floor and gives other guys space to work.  That's why he needs more minutes.  He just changes the whole feel of the game when he gets in.  Also, good defensive showing as he stripped one of the Heat guys driving to the basket and had good position throughout the night.

 

I called it EARLY last season when he got booted from school, that we needed him, and man, I'm so happy we got him.

I am glad to see PJ with some solid D tonight. I think Hendo provides our bench with someone who has years of experience and has started before. When you have that on your bench you know your team is good. I say keep Hendo because you never know when someone will get hurt not to mention PJ is still a rookie and still needs time to develop.

I dont understand where people got that he was a liability on defense... in the little bit of playing time hes had.

IMO hes literally looked good on the defensive end his entire sample size.

That was hatin just to hate.

Because he didn't show it at UNC or D League

If he defends well and takes good shots he will keep getting playing time

Clifford just said in his presser that he "really likes PJ."  Said he was good enough to be on the floor from the beginning but he had to keep working and doing the little things in the meantime because we were stocked at the wings.  Said he has done all of those things and he's a guy that "always wants to be out on the floor."  He spoke glowingly of him...

Part of the reason I love PJ is because he reminds me a lot of a basketball version of Smitty.  The dude is fiery and loves to mix it up...  ask that high schooler at the Durham Y, LOL...

 

As long as you can contain that to within the framework of the game, you have something special.

He got some good looks tonight that just didn't go in. He keeps getting looks like that and settles in he will score some points and have a couple of big games.

Also if he can consistently defend well like he did tonight, he will play.

He looked pretty good tonight, but would like to see him do better than 2-9. And he usually will. Especially with good looks like he got tonight

One of the things I like about PJ is he is an aggressive shooter who is looking to shoot. You have to reel those kinda guys in sometimes though. But if he gets hot he can put a bunch of points in a hurry and give you little 6-0 mini runs that can decide a game.

I still think Neal is a better overall player right now, but he has a little bit of Boris Diaw in him, where he has a good look but doesn't take the shot and instead pump fakes and dribbles into traffic. Sometimes it works out, but other times it eats up shot clock and we end up taking a worse shot with shot clock on our backs
