That's why he makes it hard to put him in the elites despite his monster stats. He has a poor feel for the game.
Before he did what? Have a bad stretch? Every player has bad stretches of "games," let alone a 3-4 minute stretch. At least now we know he's not from another planet, which is the level he has been playing at so far this year. He's been more than just elite; he's been the best perimeter player this year.

WB knows he blew their chance at a very winnable game. With his history, Reke is one to talk. Especially when he didn't pass on the Hornets final possession and barely caught the backboard.
LeBron? Dirk? Duncan? Durant? CP3? Anthony Davis? Blake Griffin? Curry? Who are you talking about? Sorry, don't agree. Kobe Bryant, yes. Harden...MAYBE, but not really. That's pretty much it.
He is right though, and honestly, you can't blame him when Scott Brooks has no offensive scheme whatsoever on his pad.
