I would question their motives given his contract structure.

He was the only player in the Boston game to have a positive(+4) in the plus/minus column for his time on the court.
I don't blame him.

It is a real shame... considering they only have him for a year. He is perhaps the only player on that squad who is playing hungry and with a chip on his shoulder. Even though his talent is not quite there with the NBA starter standard, I would bet on his freakish athletic ability any day.

He should have stayed one more year to work on his game, and not come out when so many topflight freshman were also coming out. One more year and he would have been a first round pick.

PT because he signed a one year contract and they don't want to pay him long term next year, would he have been better off staying another year and getting into the lottery?

Not to be an armchair coach here...

But news flash to Coach Brown...the Sixers SUCK...KJ has proven so far that he can guarantee points for your team and prevent points from the opposition...but yeah, not playing him is probably a good idea. /sarcasm

They're limiting his time for contract reasons
Nov 21, 2014, 12:51 PM
|

if he has bad numbers from not playing all year, other teams might not offer him as much money at the end of the season, so it will be cheaper for Philly to keep him.
They're already tanking on purpose for draft picks, so this isn't a reach at all.

Other teams see his stats come in limited playing time

They aren't stupid. If he can average 10 points and 1.5 blocks a game only getting 22 minutes, that's pretty amazing. Somebody will pick him up.

no clue why he decided to leave for the deepest draft since 2003.

He's one of their best players and their coach isn't coaching to win games.

...there are only a couple of players on that entire team that are more ready than KJ. that team is FULL of rookies and first year players and none of them are proving to be more ready than KJ. and considering how the losses are stacking up, da coach needs to do something other than what he's been doing with the rotation...

high draft picks.
They have a ton of washed-up has beens and even some guys no one has ever heard of. They are paying most of their starters the league minimum.
I'm sure they are not giving him playing time on purpose to: A - Keep sucking and losing games, and B - keep his potential offers down at the end of the season.
Their top picks from last year are out for this season (injured and playing in Europe).

Philly is probably inentionally benching their best players.

They aren't interesting in winning games this year at all. After tanking the 2013/14 season they purposely drafted two top 10 players that they knew couldn't play this season. They will tank one more year and then try to build something with all of that talent in the 2015/16 season and beyond when Embiid is healthy and Saric comes back from wherever he's playing (i think Turkey).

Team Stats
4th in PPG 11th in RPG 10th in APG 2nd in BPG 7th in PF's 5th in PER 7th in minutes 4th in FG % 46% (Behind 2 C's and a PF). Leads all SG's 2nd in 3PT% 37.1% (Really leads the team here. #1 only took one shot so far, a center) 6th in FT% 68% Leads all SG's
Statistically he should be a starter IMO. I haven't seen him play but that's just what the stats tell me. Coach is tanking for a #1 pick.
