I mean he can be an absolute stud and a crucial building block moving forward without being a 'superstar', we gotta stop looking at these things so binary.

Also, people keep saying he's not great at anything etc. but that's really not true at all. He absolutely shows flashes of being great at a lot of different things - manipulating pick and roll, getting downhill with his strong hand, at times he's shown to be legitimately elite at catch and shoot 3's....these are not insignificant traits at the NBA level.

His biggest issue is just consistency. He can look like a star player one night and then go on a stretch of 2, 4, 6 games where he can't figure out how to find rhythm and ends up being overly reactive, forcing up bad shots. If he can make his good stretches last longer and get out of his funks quicker, he's a star player, point blank.

Is he ever going to be a Ja Morant type of player? Almost certainly not, but that doesn't mean he isn't our best asset in about 20 years (maybe KP for a year or two but that always felt like borrowed time with his body). But he can't be our only great young player, we need more top end talent to surround him with, and we need playmakers who actually look to find easy shots for him, so he's not tasked with creating his own shot literally every time he touches the ball.

TLDR - RJ is part of the solution, not the problem. But we need to do better in terms of putting him (and others) in a position to succeed. Half heartedly chasing the 8 seed with Julius Randle, Kemba Walker, and Evan Fournier is not the way to maximize young talent.
