yeah the rim numbers are the most concerning. that’s usually where he’s good
He’s been dogshit. We don’t need stats to se show dogshit he has been.
Looks like a headless chicken trying too hard out there and the worst part is he’s regressed massively on defence as well. JB from bubble as a defender seems so long ago now. It just seems like everyone is trying to play with the offensive gameplan and then Jaylen himself decides it’s iso time. I’m sure he’ll figure it out but god is he hard to watch rn.
If JB has one fan, that fan is me.
He’s gonna figure it out.
I think he’s simply starting slowly and is figuring out his role on the team. I trust him to figure it out, considering he’s by all accounts a hard worker who has improved every season.
Low effort, bad and concerningly slow decision making, selfish playstyle, less than G league defense, YMCA level handles, now not hitting shots…$300 million dollar guy right there no doubt.
He desperately needs a bounce back game where they put the HE HEARD YOU on the post game chyron and then not regress back to whatever the fuck this has been lately.
I think a lot of teams would want him but not his contact.
i think it will take time to figure out the chemistry and mix with jrue and kp added.
JB needs to take a step back and realise he’s no longer number two in this stacked team
Yesterday he should’ve been the fifth option, fourth at best
I hope he can find his role in this team
He’s had games where he’s impacted without shooting well, making solid passes, playing solid defense. But it seems that when he’s not getting his, eventually he’ll just regress on both ends, force shots and fall asleep on defense.
I don’t even think he has horrible BBIQ, he’s actually shown he can make good reads if he plays in control and makes quick decisions. But he refuses to do so and always takes the much tougher ISO shots as opposed to easier ones he would get if he moved the ball quicker and played within the flow of the offense.
He has to realize he doesn’t need to be a tough shot maker on this team, Porzingis is absolutely feasting on hunting mismatches and averaging 20 on career high efficiency. Jaylen could easily do the same if he committed to the same mindset.
He needs to figure this shit out, because he’ll be the first one out the door if this team doesn’t succeed.
Ugh he’s gonna be so overpaid next year and that shitty part is he’s gonna quickly fall out of favor with the fans because of it. His play isn’t going to equal his contract.
How do you get worse after getting Jrue and Porzingis as teammates? JB needs to figure it out or he might end up becoming the 3rd option on offense.
he could start by just moving the ball. everytime he touches it, the ball stops. worried too much about scoring.
Lmao 45% isn’t even bad it’s just low for jaylen
100% love and trust him. Most important stat.
He’s just off to a slow start to the season, Tatum used to do this every year. He will pick it up, particularly with his finishing around the basket. It’s not like he got worse over the summer
Been saying this since the summer: Jaylen is a fine player. He’s a top 30 guy when he’s playing within himself and the shots are falling. But he’s just not a supermax guy, and you have to wonder if his performance so far is a product of trying too hard to live up to the money.
He never shoots his baseline middy anymore kinda miss it tbh
Where are all the JB apologist today?
