We need to stop watering down the criteria for what a superstar is.

YOU ARE NOT A SUPERSTAR UNLESS YOU HAVE PROVEN IT IN THE POST SEASON

If you aren't getting it done in the post season then you can't have that label

This dude is a 5'9 sg that doesn't defend. Yeah he can put up good numbers in the regular season and can avg out to having a decent percentage but we all know these teams are just playing and not game planning. Nobody is really watching film as many players have stated because they know regular season games mean nothing in the long run.

What you do in the postseason is what matters because this is when teams actually game plan against you. Watch film on you. Isaiah gets clogged up by bigger players and gets his shot blocked often in the post season. His frame gets exposed each and every time.

He's a good player that has maximized what god has given him. He's 5'9 and is able to take care of his family but it stops there. Ain't no postseason success bih

We keeping the Superstar Label for the LeGM's, The Kawhi's, Wardell's, Wade's etc.

he's a really good player but you're very limited with a 5-9 point guard being for best scorer on your team if you have championship aspirations.

You're limited if your 5'9 PG has a SG skillset. That's why bringing in Fultz would be huge for this squad.
