He’s played so bad that Mr. BuckBuck is cooking him even without his own statistics 💀
Not everybody can transition into a top 1-2 option on team after playing with HoFers that could take a lot of pressure off of him.
I’m not anticipating him to be this awful all year, but this is not the opening we were expecting.
Some people were very quick to say he’d be like OKC Harden to the Rockets, and I saw some people even say Gil, but hell no. Lower these expectations, and let him work through this. At best, he might be able to get to 18-19 with improved efficiency, and people may forget how awful these games were if he can get back to what made him a valued young player.
