From what we've seen so far - not only the negatives, but the nature of them - I am no longer optimistic at all. I was wrong. He has taken steps backwards (at a crossroads where he was desperately needing to improve instead). The way he has shown a total lack of any way to contribute on offense is a killer.
The big problem for me is that this is reportedly a player who worked his butt off all summer, to improve his game -- and this is all we get?? It's a total nothing. I see no reason to keep waiting -- he's showing no signs of improvement.
It pains me to say, but put a fork in this turkey.
All the hype out of camp felt like leadership was trying to boost his confidence and made me very skeptical. There was also an odd moment in a podcast that Dinwiddie did with Pinson that had Josh walking by in passing. Something about the way the talked about him made me think they had zero confidence in him.
