JG is 4.4 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 1.0 apg so far, so at 7.6 he would be considered a "bust" by this metric. This season alone he is 6.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 0.9 ast...so at 9.9 this season he is still in "bust" territory.
As always: expectations are too high/fans see things that are not there yet, because the situation is so dire. (Though this is the moment to push Green for a larger role)
People here started talking about Hardy HAPPENING, cause he played well in the G-League and was re-called. RE-CALLED. Hasn´t seen the floor since against the worst team in the league. Has still only played 10 minutes for the year.
Other teams are managing workloads and getting rookies minutes while obtaining a 13-9 record. We are going all-out starters 40 MPG just so we can be 10-11. Not all 10-11s come the same way. Lillard for example missed 11 games already. Btw sadly (one of my favs) the #1 candidate for that disaster trade....

...but that´s the whole point. If you want this immediate help the 2023 pick is a much BETTER ASSET than the future picks. And it comes with a chance to win a top 2 pick, that you don´t even want to trade (if you were sane, unlike Cuban). The best chance for immediate help is tanking.
