    He's a complete defensive player but he's scared on offense .

    Not sure who's going to take his minutes with him being injured

    early in the season, his offense looked so much different to me than it does now. as others have said, he sort of looks terrified on offense.

    defensively, the metrics don't love him, but i agree that he seems to get to the right spots, has active hands, and plays physical. jj has trusted him all year, and i think it's mostly about that end. but jj loved gabe, too, so...who knows?

    It's either him or Vando and you go with LaRavia every time.

    Lotta dumb fouls, though but I can't necessarily blame him. He's switching onto everyone out there.

    If this dude ever figures out his 3 point shooting and develops a floater, his value will skyrocket out there.

    For now, I like what he is providing. He just seems like he's afraid of making mistakes or taking bad shots which inevitably, affects his shot-making overall.

    Tried that and no idea if ankle, knee or the ever dreaded bone bruise.

    Found what minutes to give Austin as he ramps up.

    Jake needs to go sit in the corner and meditate. Brutal tonight.

    That was one of the worst stretches in a playoff game I’ve ever seen. He turned into Kwame Brown for a bit. Nearly had a stroke shouting at the TV for JJ to get him out of the damn game.

    I like Jake, but now, after watching that, he needs to be shipped out this summer.

    I have faith he'll redeem himself and win a playoff game for us. Everyone has a bad run, even the greats.

    I don't know what happened tonight but we need him going forward. Whatever is going on with him is upstairs.

    He ain’t close to even being “good” on offense.
    He’s lost all of his mojo.

    You don't ship a 23 yo with his motor. You develop him. WTF.
