So, is the Luol Deng point forward experiment over? Have teams just figured out CJ Watson? I liked Sam Smith's point that our backcourt is shooting under 40%. Not a recipe for spacing and victory.
Our outside shooting really suffers when we have guards who can't shoot and Deng is not himself. Deng's FG% the last 6 games: .357, .467, .353, .250, .385, .400 Watson's last 6 games: .333, .273, .364, .348, .429, .100 Brewer isn't shooting much, his last 6 games: .400, .000, .500, .500, .429, .222 (34 total shots) Noah isn't a good outside shooter. He's 0-1 from 3pt for the season Boozer (our 5th starter): .583, .733, .500, .563, .421, .533 Didn't Transplant write his article praising CJ Watson about 6 games ago?
