It seems like he'd improve his efficiency if he moved toward the basket. For a shooter jacking up 10-15 3s per game, and only hitting 3 of them, it's killing offensive momentum. Opponents would sag off DFS, but his shooting is making that strategy painful. Now THJ seems like the weak link.I'm not really sure what the stats say about that. Agree that he has the ability to get to the basket and score, and maybe doing more of that would kick-start his shooting. He takes some difficult shots, and that is his job, but there are certainly opportunities for the team to work a little harder for a better look.
Even if he turns into a playoff hero, I'm not ready to invest big money to keep him here after the season. And I've been one to advocate for keeping the team together to let it meld.
Agree that the situation after the season is a different discussion, since actual alternatives will exist. For now, Timmy is capable of playing much better than this, and they need to get him back in his groove.
