His shot is broken. He's taking shots he knows he needs to take with no confidence and zero faith it'll go in. He's just so wide open I don't blame him but after two misses he needs to be driving/kicking/finishing.

Good teams will not close out on him if he doesn't start hitting them. His presence on the floor with Zion will not make a difference for spacing if he can't hit them. Its a genuine concern.

Teams are leaving him wide open as a strategy and he is simply shooting them.

I don’t have a problem with it in game 19. He’s got to try to shoot out of his slump and ultimately remove/limit the effectiveness of that defensive strategy from our opponents.

Yep...and that's just ONE of several issues with several different players Willie will be trying to "correct" over the next few months in an effort to make us as solid as possible, come playoff time. He's got his work cut out for him...but has a few months to try & get it done, so...we'll see.

I get a corner 3 every now and then but he just jacks it up early in the clock and whenever he’s open.

As i’ve been saying, Dyson should be getting more of his minutes. His offensive game has regressed. shooting more 3’s at a lower percentage this year. not good offensive awareness. Dysons D is close to as good and his O is waaaaay better.

His 3 has regressed/isn't falling but his offensive game outside of that has improved.

I love him but hate him shooting the third most shots. His shots should come in transition not on normal offensive sets

Painful to watch. Pels are playing 4 against 5 when on offense

If you only focus on the 3 pt shot and ignore all the other things he does well on offense.

Herb usually doesn't even take a lot of shots. He's been taking more the past two games due to the loss of CJ and BI.

Not going to fault him for that.

I love Dyson and think he’s already a solid player and will only get better, but this is silly.

We're awfully thin obviously, and if Jval has foul trouble and isn't closing then it's pretty logical for Herb to be 4th on the team in shot attempts, especially when he played the most minutes.

I don't see the issue.
