    I agree. If he only does good things and stops doing bad things, he could be amazing.

    he reminds me of westbrook, playing in the fifth gear all the time, which ends up in bad shots (doesnt set himself up well) and turnovers

    i wish we had a dislike button for posts like this.

    you have no idea how confidence is built. i dont want my future building block shying away from the moment cuz he's scared of missing.

    you dont get it

    he was 10/20 (30 pts) with 6 assists and only 1 turnover and that wouldve been a superb game

    now hes 10/23 and will likely miss more shots, therefore, the overall look wont be as good as it couldve been

    hes been chucking a whole lot lately and i dont mind it, but in one game where he shouldnt, he still does it

    Who do you want him to pass to? You're worried that he's going to shoot this much when everyone is healthy?

    Who cares how it "looks." He's competing to win a game. He'd been superb.
