To answer Chicago's question...this summer.
I think pretty clearly they have initiated the next stage of his development. It is tough because there are so many mouths to feed. Luka is going to get his and THJ, Wood and SD are going to eat whether it helps Josh's development or not. One thing about him coming off the bench is he gets much more action at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters.
Josh has a green light to attack close-outs. He's great at the drive and dish already, but we are seeing an obvious effort to attack the rim and draw fouls. He's also being put into double screen action at the top of the key with the ball in his hands and can drive off the second screen. We've also seen him (mainly late in games) be the screener who brings the second defender to Luka. When the double happens it leaves Josh as the short roll man. He's great as passing from that spot and developing an ability to attack from that spot.
People focus on his 3%, but he's team leading (by a mile) .861 at the rim. His TS% at .720 is just nuts. Most pros make a living out of doing a few things well. I like that they are letting the leash out a little at a time.
