RS 23/24 - Mavs vs Jazz (Wed., Dec 6)

Looks like Green is out for extended period, Exum should bump his minutes to 25-30 MPG, if THJ is also out, then full rotation player at 35 MPG.

Its hard to get in a rythem playing 10 minutes a game. But he's the only guy that can get to the basket besides Luka and Kyrie for his own baskets. Right NOW he's shooting 50 percent on his spg and getting to the free throw line.I think he'll be fine when he can break a bigger sweat than 10 mpg gives him.

Not everyone can play catch and shoot basketball or everyone would be shooting over 40 percent from 3's

Ignore his stats, just watch him play, man has 0 confidence, and bad touch around the rim to boot, so his drives are ineffective.
He still needs tons of reps, or you need to play knowing you're playing 4 on 5 on offense.

Hopefully the Josh injury is just a smokescreen, and a trade has already been agreed to for someone who's not eligible to be traded until Dec 15

Ive had League pass for yrs and seen lots of basketball and you dont make half your shots or drive to the basket from lacking confidence and i expect him to keep driving harder to the rim as he gets more playing time which his minutes are trending .

Luka 6'7" ,Dante 6'5",DJJ6'6", start O-Max too 6'7" ,Lively 7'1" starting just might look good together.

OMax is unplayable on offense right now, he must develop at least DJJ level 3 pt shot.

Completely unplayable on offense but really good on defense.

It’s not just that his 3 isn’t there, he doesn’t know where to stand and you can tell he hovers between scared and desperate to get something going.

If he could just hit mid 30s from 3 and learned the offense he could play big minutes because his defense is really good though.

Yeah I agree. Seems overly eager to do something on offense all the time. I'm most interested in him as a rolling 4 when Maxi comes back. If he can be a good roll man until his shot comes around, that might be a way to make him more playable since like you said, his defense looks good.

Exum gonna play himself out of rotation if he continues like this. Can't pass on open shots even if you miss...

Gonna be a ZERO Defense game

THJ is watching people shooting over him lol...

Defense is just pathetic out there. Looks like a shootaround.

Maverick41 · Post #33 » by **Maverick41** » Thu Dec 7, 2023 1:57 am

Looks like that long rest did well for Luka. He looks extraordinary right now.

Casual 29 point triple double in the first half by headband Luka

I’ve always been a huge Lively fan. I bought my stock early and I love the kid. He just does so many little things well.
