He barely plays iso ball; you can even look up the statistic on NBA dot com, Brunson doesn't even qualify because that's how little he does it so not sure what y'all are seeing.
Outside of one game (I think POR?), his shot selection has not been bad at all imo. I would say his rim attacking has been a breath of fresh air on a team jacking up a lot of outside shots.
The problem is that he is not making his field goals, FT's included. The solution will be time. Only 5 games thus far with 77 to go; some players start off badly then turn it around or vice versa. We'll see how it goes.
But I will say Carlisle is not doing him any favors. It is hard to be consistent and develop when you have no defined role. He should be playing more than 15 mins/game, no excuses. This is why people give Carlisle a hard time because he rather play chucker THJ more or 29 year old Seth who has already peaked as a bench player.
Justin Jackson has a great game in DEN where he doesn't miss a shot but only plays 2 mins last night? Meanwhile, the lineup that gave up our comfortable lead early in the 3Q, is the same one Carlisle chooses to close the game and we all know what happened next.
