People are anointing this guy as the future of the franchise and I don’t see it. The guy can’t shoot, can’t defend, and can’t pass. He’s not a point guard at all.

Y'all are idiots.

He's had two bad games. He'll be fine.

Trey Murphy is the one who should be getting the grief. He's been terrible and he's not 20 years old.

Trey has had 2 bad games but he’s shown me what he is good at. Fears has yet to show that he has NBA level skills

We hyped up Fears and Queen because that’s really the only hope for this barren destitute franchise.

Now that the 45 plus win crowd gets their usual late October dose of reality, in year 2 it’s becoming apparent these Dumars picks aren’t saving this franchise.

My thoughts exactly. I’m sure they’ll be fine NBA players but I don’t see either ever making an all star.

I dont think Queen will ever be even an average starting caliber player. I think Fears will be a quality starter. He's the youngest guy on the team.

Fears is the only bright spot on this team, lets not give up on him after two games. The rest of the team, including Trey, look like shite.

Terrible comparison. You can see Fears being able to create his own shot and facilitate. He is much bigger than Kira. Saw glimpses of last year and preseason. I just think he doesn’t fit in the starting lineup with too many ball handlers. Giving up on a 20 year old kid is insane.

Pels have several players that each think they should score 20-25 points per game. As a result, we have very few players that can make other players better. I assume we will be absolutely horrible, relatively speaking...at our rate of assists per game.

Basically, we have several...and I hate to say it..."LOSERS" ...and one of our few "winners"...is probably out for a while. I expect Trey to continue to show very little enthusiasm playing with this team...and I completely understand why he feels that way. Amazing that Herb has maintained his level of effort given the level of play of nearly all of his teammates.

JMO...I COULD be wrong.

He is a 6'3' just turned 20 PG in the NBA. He is playing like a rookie so far this year.

Some of y'all are so strange, complain we gave up on guys too early and traded them away (NAW, Dyson, ..) but want to give up on Fears after 2 games.

But you should be able to see the skills that are supposed to make him a great player. He’s got a good handle but that’s about it. He’s not a good shooter and has never been one going back to college. He’s a terrible defender, that’s not going to get better due to his size. He’s not a good passer.

Is there a NBA star that you could compare Fears’ game to?

The kid is 20 , 2 games into his 2nd year..no i dont have a comparison for him.

I know what i saw at the end of last season and he can play at the NBA level.

It is crazy how fast people write off players now. Oh he can't shoot going all the back to when he was 17 in college. He is 20, he can get better, it does happen.

Fears is a B Plus Dribbler and an A Plus Instigator

He's bad at everything else

I didn't like the pick when we made it, but I have learned to like the kid and I am rooting for him

His current player comp is basically an angry Markelle Fultz, with the confidence level of Dame. Angry Athletic guy that can't shoot, but hasn't figured out that he can't shoot yet.

Weirdly enough the guy he reminds me of is Poole. I’m talking strictly playstyle.

Holy shite. Fears hasn’t been good to start the season but he literally JUST turned 20. Comparing him to Kira Lewis is fricking insane. Fears 100% needs to play better but giving up on him this soon is idiotic and dumb.

This has to be one of the worst posts I've ever read on this board. "B Plus dribbler" Fears last year as a 19 year old was already better than Markelle Fultz was at any point in his NBA career. The kid turned twenty a week and a half ago and he averaged 29, 5, and 4 on 51%/36%/80% splits in April to close out last season. He has two bad games to start the season and now we have people on here calling him Kira Lewis and Markelle Fultz. You guys need to get a grip
