Fred pounding the rock for 22 seconds and being forced to take a heavily contested 3

It’s honestly amazing how everyone from the organization and media seem to love Fred, he’s very well respected in the NBA, but he’s so absolutely disliked by a large part of the (vocal) fanbase.
I wouldn’t say all the players on the team love him (that GTJ reaction to Fred taking a bad shot in that Milwaukee game where we shot like 3% comes to mind) but it does seem like he’s fairly well respected. [I remember Blake Murphy mentioning something about the locker room would have fractured if not for Fred earlier this year.](https://twitter.com/yahoocasports/status/1621173757812555780?s=46&t=sbk6yuyliVaFRQjBUBJCMQ)

Will Lou pointed this out on a recent pod too but I always love how Jak actually gives really solid, insightful answers

Seeing mfs hate on a 20/20 game told me all I need to know about some of the people who hate on Fred

Isn’t this common knowledge? Defenders are not pylons.

Fred is great. If he costs 20 Mill, no problem.
It’s more what he will cost in his declining years.

Raptors should run the flex offence

It’s true though. So many times guys just stand around after the one pick and roll doesn’t work so he’s gotta do something. And where others shy away from shooting, Fred leans into it.
And as much as it’s aggravating to watch those early in the clock pull up 3’s, that stuff at least forces the defence to be on their toes which opens up other attacks.

Sorry if this post showed up twice, not sure what happened I only hit the submit button once
has he considered not dribbling for 14 seconds before trying to do something?
Interesting take and not something many viewers realize, myself included.
