If he’s not going to shoot threes he needs to keeps attacking the rim like it dissed his momma.
The Kings have no interior D, but Josh is a legitimately great finisher inside. Teams have been doubling off him on Jalen constantly, so he has to be more aggressive and dive to the paint all night like he did in this one.
We need somebody else besides Jalen to get buckets down low with Julius gone. We got shooters to spread the floor around them. Josh can get a full head of steam if they wont guard him beyond the arc to either score of kick out.
This is going to have to be done by committee. Jalen will do his thing, but Donte, Deuce, and Bojan have to keep connecting to keep the hounds honest. Isaiah is an air traffic controller from the elbows who will find anything that moves. Mitch and OG can hopefully return to form. We aren’t done yet.
The thing is last night he did that AND shot threes...
What are you talking about? Josh has not taken any threes in the last 2 games. Only took 1 three the game before too.
All Im saying is we need somebody else to score inside and collapse the paint with no Julius around. Josh isnt going to score like that all the time, but he has to keep attacking.
We got guys who can shoot around Jalen and Josh. Donte, OG, Deuce, Bojan, and Alec (hypothetically). None of them can really get in the paint much though besides the occasional OG drive.
If Josh is going to play 40+ mpg and not kill us offensively, he has to find another niche if he’s not going to shoot from deep. Score at the rim or kick out.
