Yes, he' not hitting 3s this year and he should pass unless he's wide open or hot. but keep in mind that two years ago (i think) he had the top 3pt% on the team and last year, he was top two or three, so he's definitely capable. he seems to get charging fouls too, when he drives from the top of the key. he brings a lot to the team if he stays focused on what he does well (D, steals/disruption, boards/putbacks, hustle, finishing alley oops). he always seems humored by the game, which is contagious in a good way- i think he's counting the $ he'll earn from a degree/s rather than a basketball future
The problem is that OAK has been wide open when he's thrown up those bricks from the 3 point arc.The problem in him passing on those shots is that it gums up the middle. So there's not a great answer offensively during his minutes. Fortunately, he's been a beast on defense.
Based in his percentage, I see him being wide open unless he starts draining some of those 3's.
Either you stop playing him or get rid of the system. And neither should happen. You stay with the system.
Or you make a simple adjustment and have him make an additional pass. Defenders are not within 10 feet of him. I would love to see the stats on his missed 3s how many times we got the missed shot rebound. If that percentage is still low then it makes zero sense for him to shoot that shot.Waisted possession.
it's almost as if the D is letting him be wide open out there...hhhmmmm
