He’s getting double/triple team, what do you expect from him? His defense looks terrible compared to last year in which I agreed he regressed on that end. That’s all on coaching imo.

To not drive straight into those double teams.

He needs to develop a jump shot or at least something that doesn't send opposing defense directly into the paint the second he touches the ball.

The way he plays, he can fill up the statsheet, like he did tonight, but he will never be the best scorer on a championship team if he doesn't expand his offensive game.

His defense was worse than awful last year. What he's showing now is an actual improvement if you can believe it. He just isn't showing a good motor on defense compared to his offense. Maybe they should have went into the season making him focus on defense as a primary priority and offense secondary.

something other than 1 offensive move he's shown

he's also TERRIBLE on defense, shows very little desire (awareness?) in distributing the ball, and hasn't improved his FTs or handle

games don't matter. time does. he's not as good this year as he was last year as a fat, recovering zion. that's a major concern
