Can someone tell me why Devin Booker's ceiling is higher than PJ's?

Because Booker isn't a knucklehead who punches high schoolers in pickup games a week after getting drafted...

c'mon bruh.  PJ went the whole season and we heard nothing bad about him, I'm not worried about that.  Forreal.  PJ hasn't been quite as consistent of a shooter as Booker shows he can be.  But PJ can put it on the deck and get to the rim and make plays that way.  We have no idea if Booker can do that or not.  PJ isn't a shabby defender either.  PJ more athletic too.

Nothing bad about him during the season? Missed practices, didn't even fit the dress code for a road trip, and that bizarre Josh Gordon incident. Not major stuff, but things that clearly show a lack of focus and professionalism he needs to have if he wants to reach that potential.

PJ fell to us in the 20s for a reason. I think he's another JR Smith. The tools are there, he just needs the right situation and the right environment to thrive, and I'm not sure that's in Charlotte, given the proximity to the places where he got in trouble.

Much like JR's move from NY to Cleveland, PJ could benefit much more from a team with an established pecking order from which he can learn and focus. Charlotte is too young and not successful enough to have that yet.

I think we would all be thrilled if PJ is as good as JR Smith

 

I'm not a PJ fanboy by any means, I just don't like the idea of spending two first round picks on guys that their main strength is shooting.  Too early to give up on PJ

 

Then again we were BAD at three pointers last year holy poo really bad actually when I think about it Booker still makes sense cause he and PJ can both play 3 too.  If only we could move Hendo/Lance preferably Lance

The truth is that we will never know what either has to offer as long as Clifford keeps up his BS youth on the bench crap style of coaching. PJ and Vonleh should have had FAR more opportunities than they did this year and more than proved themselves when given opportunities. Guys can't gain consistency though if you are so inconsistent with giving them their opportunities.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
