    Hesitates to take 3's way too much. How the hell are you suppose to improve/adjust to the NBA 3 pt line when you dont take them? Also practice 3pt'ers and in game 3pt'ers are VERY different.

    So please take the dam 3's idiot

    I'm more concerned about him not to be able to finish around the basket.

    Which DMo has proven to be terrible at.

    He has been able to sneak in some layups.

    Right now though, he is a little slow to score on transition consistently and when he drives to the rim in a halfcourt set, he cannot finish over shotblockers.

    One of the things he said he needs to get better at is to be faster "with his feet" (his words :))

    Terrible game for him today, he's gotta make those layups. Hopefully he can turn a corner soon.

    I would love to see some stats re: his shooting percentage within 3 feet. Did he have this issue in Europe?

    Hopefully it's just a small sample size, but he HAS to finish layups. Its becoming a disturbing pattern.

    In his highlight vids he dunked a lot more in Europe.

    He's gotta get more comfortable, I'm willing to give him a pass until around January or so.

    He's a really good role player, and does a better job than the point guards at feeding Dwight the ball.
