    I wish he would just play and go up strong like jokic. We dont want to see the arms flare like harden anymore.

    It’s not an IQ thing, it’s a toughness thing. Tonight against Detroit Sengun played soft. Not going up strong, playing to draw fouls, flopping, not boxing out, complaining. It’s a rough watch, and now without FVV, it’s almost a guaranteed loss when he plays like this.

    Long-term, it’s not that concerning because we already know he steps up in big games. (Season opener vs OKC, Euro basket, playoffs vs GSW, etc).

    But it’s disappointing this **** still happens often in his 3rd year now with Ime.

    He needs a reliable and unblocksble move to be the closer. His baby hook could work, but his counter moves are so low to the ground he’s susceptible to getting blocked… and that makes him unreliable as an iso closer.

    He needs to get the Euro out of his game
