Dejounte has to start hitting shots. The rest of his game has been good.

Hes been the most disappointing. Dude gets paid and its time to take over and he’s clearly showing hes no better than a role guy.

I think that was with the idea that Zions gravity would help him get better looks. No Zion or BI equals less double teams


I haven’t been watching tho maybe he is getting good looks. The vibes are bad

So far as a Pel he misses most of them.
And Murphy settles for Long 3's far to often.
Man Missi has been incredible.

With the way we shoot the ball most nights it don't matter if we are healthy.

He's been bad. The same open looks are there. He's just having another awful start to the year.

Team shot 31% from 3 and 65% from the free throw line tonight. And that was with Trey hitting his last 2 threes. Our shooting has been atrocious.

The games I have watched TM has plenty of open looks and just misses most of them.
This whole team has a voodoo hex on them this year.

The hope was Dejounte would get guys like Trey, CJ, others better looks. I havent really seen that at all. I dont think he has enough gravity to get that without BI and/or Zion.

We need to get ourselves some sort of shooting guru.

I don't like him playing as much on ball as he's been playing this year. Im not sure why they are playing his weaknesses.That's not really his strength. They need to be running him off screens, back screens, P&R, multiple actions, and actually call plays to get him 10 deep balls a game. I don't get the way they're using him.

Let’s not forget he’s also a turnstile on defense…although that might be an insult to turnstiles.

There are guys on the floor at all times the other team totally ignores .

Not fair to judge him on that at this point .

Trey however should be learning how much of a jump he needs to take . I know he’s a board favorite but he still processes slow and needs a lot of improvement if he wants to become more than a floor spacer .

Because they just expect him to be BI and hes not. Its like if warriors constantly used Klay on ball. That being said Trey just needs to be better- or else this is basically his ceiling.

I would say this is the time to show he is more than that. But I don’t know if he is- which is ok but limits his ceiling.
