still want to see some more consistency in his shot(he’ll be hot one quarter then disappear for the rest of the game at times)


This is my biggest issue with him currently.

People will see that he had 17 points and was 4/5 from deep and say "wow" he was great.

The Problem will often be he was 4/4 in the 1st quarter and then didn't make another the rest of the game. At least that's what it feels like.

He is still young and it does feel like he improves yearly.

he was 2-8 after the 1st quarter yesterday 0-3 in the 4th, but he finished with 16 (14 in the 1st half) on 3-6 shooting from 3 so box score watchers loved his game last night.

32% from 3 in the 4th quarters this year, 38% from the field.

So like 98% of NBA players

Such a ridiculous critique for a 23 year old, third scoring option on a team

We expect Ball to shoot well from 3, score consistently, finish efficiently at the rim, get to the line in bunches and hit free throws, and create for others. Give effort on D. Just realize that’s a $35 mil a year player

This newfound role that has been discovered in February seeks to be working well. He’s adapted and improved, just like every season of his young career. The obsession of “ will he be worth it?” Is nauseating. Like y’all don’t realize by how every contact carries risk. Or that maybe you are just wrong about a player? Hmmm
