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.
He looks heavier to me too and not as quick. He just looks out of it on the bench too. Not sure if he is dealing with something off the court or just in a bad spot seeing his minutes evaporate. He is a better player than he is showing. It is just tough to see him having a role longterm though. I hope whatever he is dealing with gets better. There has been time a he has been very productive. The other parts of his game has not developed as I had hoped though.
