I’ve tried to give Jerome the benefit of the doubt, but my god his foot speed is just so slow. His arms look really short too. I’m not sold on him. He’s a good shooter though it seems. Maybe that’s why he’s out there.

If there’s one player in the NBA who deserves a ***** twister, it’s James Harden

He's trying to play Jerome into shape. I suspect it will pay off later in the season as he should be much more comfortable by then.

I am not a believer in Jerome, his complete lack of athleticism looks like to big of a deficit to overcome at the nba level to me.

just press him and you will get turnovers consistently.

Jerome's turnover ratio is 3 assists to 1.5 turnovers.

I can understand not liking a player but he has only played in 4 games. Too early to evaluate a player properly.

This. Also on top of adjusting to NBA talent he is also playing himself into shape after a long injury lay off. It is way too early to make many judgements about him.

Only 4 more games to go. He returns December 17th against the Clippers on the road.

How many stupid fouls did the Suns commit on Harden last night? Seriously that has nothing to do with the officiating... A lot of dumb mistakes and missed FT’s cost us.

He is really good at baiting guys to reach for the ball and then creates contact every time they do. It's an annoying style to watch, but he gets legitimately fouled a lot and it is usually his game that causes it to happen.

I can understand not liking a player but he has only played in 4 games. Too early to evaluate a player properly.

Teams are just figuring it out, every time he is pressed he turns it over or nearly turns it over, and at the very least supremely bogs the offense down.

As people watch film it is going to become the way to play him.

It's not just that he struggles bringing the ball up, he literally cant drive around most guards, and he has to shoot fade aways to get a shot off.

Maybe he can be a backup 2 guard, but I do not think he will ever succeed as a pg in the NBA.
