He's been jerked around with his playing time during his comeback from his calf injury. They stayed with the Off the Bench thing too long instead of getting him reassimilated into the starting lineup and getting the team back at rhythm. It's partially the coach's fault
I'm resigned to the fact that this is who he is and he probably won't change.
He had a bad series of plays. Out of control throwing it out of bounds then botched the lob dunk. Add Castle's sloppy handling and finished the half -5.
3rd year is supposed to be the break out year for superstars
His ball handling just isnt as smooth as Fox or Harper at this point. He's still a work in progress, needs more consistency. When he locks in though the guy can go off on people at both ends.
Something to watch for sure. But I see it more as readjusting to being reinserted into the starting line up and figuring out how to play with the guards who have thrived in his absence.
It's not that, of course he's progressed, but his lows are VERY low and when he's cold he looks stupid sometimes.
He's 21 and most of what infuriates us is linked to lack of maturity or situational awareness, so I'm quite confident he'll get better at those.
Seddiq Bae playing his way out of acquisition range.
