He's probably a top 5PG in the East. As much as some dislike his game, he's not that far off of Irving. Irving is a 6'3 version of IT.
If you seriously watch Irving, and watch IT, and think they're pretty much the same, then I don't know what to say. The difference in talent is enormous. I don't care what the numbers are.
I give celtics fans till march 15th to start being divided. They have absolutely no clue what they're getting. Read their comments about Demarcus. They've never seen IT play. Who in Boston is watching Kings games? They see the stats.
IT is going to hop around the league. I wonder how many fan bases will go through this before he retires.
That's what happens when the most important people, his teammates, dislike his game. And that's the well earned rep he has right now. Now the eastern conference will learn.
He went to PHX cause they wanted him so bad. And then he got there, complained about not starting, and they quickly realized they didn't want him so much anymore. Smart move. Knight is massively better.
Wouldn't shock me to see IT move yet again before next year. Not at all. He's still in demand. Boston would be smart to flip him quick if they can, cause eventually that team cancer thing is going to stick. And trading him won't be so easy.
