I’m not too proud to admit that I never had great things to say about him. But he’s been playing way better than I thought he would. He’s attacking well, his form looks good, energetic on defense.
3 straight losses are tough but I’m glad to see him playing well.
I get the criticism more through the prism of the Grizz being in the playoffs the last few years. A more “ready” player, whether drafted or traded for would’ve made a bigger impact the last couple years.
He always had a ton of potential though and his length/shooting combo would make the true starting unit deadly if he’s the 3. The flashes were there through his career - finishing ability especially on the break, great shooting mechanics, and good defensive instincts. Just have to hope he stays healthy. A forced bigger role this year may be just what he needs.
One of the few bright spots so far. Really excited to see him play when Ja is back. Their connection was great in 2021-2022.
