He bet on himself and lost. A max contract, LOL. On defense he is smart, one of the best at anticipating steals I’ve seen in a while, but on offense he’s one of the lowest IQ players I’ve ever seen.
I would never turn down a deal like that to come to a dysfunctional franchise on a one year deal hoping to prove I’m worth even more. You have to figure that franchise is focused on improving itself and not your one year goals. It’s a crap shoot.
I don' think he's as bad as he's been playing. Something is off; has to be. He was decent for the most part of the season. Idk.
Well not to make excuses, but dude is spending his nights sleeping in jail and coming out for practice and games. Hard not to imagine that can have an impact on a person. That said he’s still dumb as a box of rocks on offense. But on nights when his shots are falling it’s less noticeable, especially when for a while there he’d have game where he caught absolute fire.
yeah he was playing pretty well earlier in the season obviously the jail situation is a major factor in his crappy play lately
I've also noticed he cannot spot up and hit shots off the catch when he's just standing still. He's has to dribble into his shot. I don't know the percentage but I'd bet that he shoots under 25% on corner 3's this year. I'd absolutely love it if we could trade him and start Josh going forward.
Not to crush your argument there Battle (because I don't know the validity of this site), but he's 16/37 from the corners. It's actually where he's most effective besides at the rim. http://nbasavant.com/player.php?player_id=203484
