He could have looked solid and seemed like his game was aging well next to Joel.
Easy PnRs, some stepbacks, some free layups when everyone goes for Joel. Scoring when the defenses pay attention to Joel and Maxey. A casual would have seen him go 16/8/8 and thought he’s still good, just not the old harden
So thankful he has no self awareness and is instead just looking like a joke. It’s definitely sad to watch his decline, but this man refuses to help himself
Maybe he’ll have his worst day emotionally and realize that he was the biggest liar all along, fooling himself. Could also be the best thing that ever happens to him at this stage of his career.
Dude could probably be an amazing role player if he bought in.
