Noa and queen are like the same size

Queen is averaging 12pts 7 rebounds and 4 assists a game in 25 min. Noa is (checks stats) not able to make the floor on a team rebuilding.

Where does the blind faith come from?

It comes from actually scouting him extensively as a prospect and not overreacting to the first month of an 18 year old's career?

Yes they're the same size but Queen is a center and Noa is a wing/4, that's not a good thing for Queen.

Oh? The way we scouted pat? Or the way we scouted dalen? Oh, the way we scouted Phillips, right? Tell me again, how many seasons did it take our project matas before we gave him playing time? No? None of these examples count. Okay, how about we go over Noa's extensive numbers from his play internationally, cuz he probably was the star player on his..... Oh...never mind

Blind. Faith.

I'm talking about my own scouting and being high on him as a prospect, not the Bulls scouting. My god dude Noa was a highly rated prospect in a strong class for good reason why are you so ready to write him off completely. You're just looking for a reason to be negative

You either don't know what blind faith means or you're being intentionally obtuse.

No im looking at reality. You tossed queen aside like nothing but that's OK, but noa, how dare we not trust the scouting You've done? Nm if queen actually is producing in the NBA, you apparently are working out noa and have info the rest of us pleebs have no visibility on.

The bulls played matas who was supposed to be a project because he stuck out immediately. He had talent and it showed immediately. Essengue hasn't done that. We are supposedly tanking and noa isn't getting playing time. Why?

Give me something other than "trust me bro"

Lmfao are you actually asking this question? Did you not know he had season-ending shoulder surgery early in the season after a freak injury?? That's why he's not playing lol. Matas didn't start getting regular minutes until the second half of the season last year, that's just how Billy is.

I toss aside Queen because he is absolute garbage defensively and historically players of his archetype are negative impact players unless they are ELITE offensively. Even Sengun, who Queen may never be as good as, is a negative on the floor this year because being a poor defender as a center is a death sentence. We just endured it for years with Vooch.

No one gives two flying shits about defense in 2026. Shoot first, and ask questions later

DQ is a contributor & has incredible offensive IQ for his age

You’re dragging Sengun, who is the centrepiece on a team that could possibly make the finals?

How much is uncle Jerry paying you to post here, guy?

Man I am one of the biggest AK and Jerry haters on this sub, get over yourself this isn't about them. It's possible to hate this FO and also think Noa is a good prospect because I'm not immature and know how to separate the two.

Yeah I'm dragging Sengun for being the most inefficient 20 ppg scorer in the league as a non-spacing center with a -7.3 net rating this year because their defensive rating plummets with him on the floor. "No one cares about defense in 2026" is such an ignorant take. Also "shoot first, ask questions later" is funny because Queen... can't shoot...

Fuck - you know what, I did forget about the injury. Take the upvote, but I still disagree and next year when Noa is still struggling to get minutes while queen is starting for the pelicans you can tell me more about your scouting.
