I really think Precious needs to be taken out of the rotation.

He looked special during the 2nd half of 21-22. Outside of that, he’s been pretty bad, and at some point, you have to stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Offensively, he can’t shoot on a consistent basis, but he still takes more shots than he should.
Defensively, after his absurd comments about being one of the best defenders in the NBA, I decided to watch him more closely on the defensive end. He’s not great. He offers very little physical resistance when guys drive on him, and he typically gives up the drive so he can contest at the rim. Physicality is very important on the defensive end. OG stands his ground, and it’s very difficult for anyone to get where they want to go on him. Precious does not. He’s not a great defender.

Precious spoke about guarding 1s to 5s. All because you are put on different players doesn’t mean you do a good job on them or that you are a great defender.

I hope Precious proves me wrong, but at some point, you are who you are, and his minutes are significantly hurting the team.

    I’m in the same camp. He had one good half of a season and has been utter dogshit aside from that. Don’t think there’s a single thing Precious does at even a good level in the NBA.
