It really feels like his decision-making is flawed.

Making an "assist" is not something he seems to enjoy. He's a bit too enamored with scoring while other parts of his game are left wanting.

His eyes go straight to the floor when he catches the ball. He has 2 moves that he uses to try and get to a spot. If they don’t work, he panics or is already out of control and turns the ball over. He’s a streaky shooter, like most young players. When his outside shot is falling, he looks like an NBA player on that end... But then he gives it up on the defensive end and we’re left here debating his ceiling, floor, role, longevity.

One observation from last game, I thought he looked heavier and a bit out of shape. I don’t know if he’s getting DNP’s because he’s not working hard or he’s just not that good, but something to keep an eye on.
