Oh come on. You know that players can’t progress in the mental aspects of the game at the pro level. All that happens at the college level. /s

Gotta talk about something lol.
If TSJ barely saw the floor last year, and imho, TSJ is far ahead of KJ as a player ( today ) one has to wonder how much KJ will see the floor with the Heat. I think Will is more NBA ready right now, although KJ’s body is NBA ready, I don’t think his on court mindset is. Hope I am wrong and KJ is starting.
But the turnover over trend over his last 3 months of basketball action is more than alarming.
So how many years are you giving Flagg after 5 for 21 with 2 being dunks?
How many turnovers did he have?
How many turnovers / points/ rebounds did he average at duke his last 3 months of basketball?
Those are the metrics. Who was progressing at the end of the season and who was digressing.
I am very high on Will’s success because his game was growing as the season went, KJ’s turnovers made him become a liability on the court the 2nd half of the season.
I could see how that would be annoying for his teammates, but I'm not sure how much an NBA front office is going to consider that.

Probably a little heavy on the sarcasm, but I get it.
I do think KJ needed more college experience, but in today’s game that just is not going to happen. If your a first rounder (certainly projected loto going into the draft), you simply have to go get that experience in the G-League.
So if I am a college coach I am looking for guys just not quite good enough to get drafted in the first round. Maybe sprinkle in a 1 and done as you can?

Thanks for coming back. Hopefully your NIL was sufficient...i know my role on the loyalty roster
I'm shutting it downThanks for coming back. Hopefully your NIL was sufficient...
That’s not going to fit the recent narrative here
Had 14 pts in the 1st. 3/3 from beyond the arc.
KJ 14 points in the 1st quarter.
19 for KJ only mid-way through the 2nd.
Seriously why in the world does espn need to split screen the commentary with the game?

At least I like the part where Erik Spoelstra was giving the Illini program it’s roses.
Didn't someone just say he needed 2 more years of college?
KJ seems like too much of a grinder to not find success at whatever level.
Are you 110% committed? 100% won't cut it anymoreI'm shutting it down

Everyone seems to be pleasantly surprised by his tenacity and defense,I think he’s becoming a willing defender.
He's always played hard. Even through his struggles, there was never a "giving in" (despite any fan accusations). The rebounding was almost always very good.
The struggles are always in his head and mental.
