    Very true. best case I can think of anyone coming close to him would be Blake under McMillan

    Steve Blake 08-09
    11 ppg, 5 apg, 2.5 rpg, 42% fg and 3 point
    which is better than any season he's had since although before his injury this year Blake had slightly better numbers
    13-14
    9.8 ppg, 7.7 apg, 3.3 rpg, 39% fg and 40% 3 point

    Sophomore slump I guess... Never seen Dame's shot this unreliable before.

    The Lakers have won 3 games out of 17 since Marshall became a part of their rotation. But, he puts up stats...

    Dame has been in a slump since CJ started playing. Fewer minutes at the 2, combined with fatigue, perhaps even waning confidence the longer this slump drags out, and pressure to make the All-Star roster play a role. Other than that, shit happens.

    Yes, it could be the absence of Dorrell Wright. Also, how has he done when Thomas Robinson vs. Meyers Leonard play?

    It's true, when Dame is not shooting, he does not look like much of a player; he is not a particularly good distributor or defender. He needs to get his shooting back, but also focus on the other parts of his game in the meantime.

    I agree. But he has gone completely to hell. Since the OKC game, I don't think he has been right. May not hurt to have a doc check him and make sure everything is alright And I mean everything.

    This is pretty confusing. I still think the issue has something to do with spacing as neither Nic nor Wes were hitting outside shots last night, but he's got 0 confidence in anything that he does. Man we've been spoiled by this guy pretty bad in the past year and half as this totally comes out of the blue.

    I'm going to go with fatigue plus the list of pressure mentioned that the kid is dealing with. What I have liked about Damien since day one is that he is a competitor. He loves basketball (eat, breaths and lives for it) and wants to win. He going to figure this thing out.

    Maybe the corporate greed got to him, realized it's not about ball and more about advertising and refs throwing games.
