Fans often blame a players flaws rather than roster problems, which is really odd considering how quickly fans will trash a GM. Look at last season with all of the CJ hate when he was forced to be a lead guard rather than the off ball role he's was traded to play and is playing perfectly this season with Zion and BI healthy.

If you had a good 3rd big that can do some things JV and Larry can't, you'd plug the roster hole and people would be happy with JV in a better fitting role where we didn't have to ask him to step up against bad matchups.

This is great and feel like this nails it. The JV hate is largely because Jaxson Hayes was a complete bust, Nance has largely been hurt, and Griffin has just failed to get any quality depth at the 5.

So we watch JV go out there and try to perform beyond his skill set. And being the consummate pro he is, he tries and tries again.
