    Really since he cut his hair? Is his middle name Sampson or something?

  2. StompingCarins

    I think he benefited from having a secondary playmaker in Joe ingles off the bench

  3. Players have up and downs, sure, but really strange.

    It seems he’s sloppy with passing on one side and forcing to much on the other side.

    At least he’s trying to defend better these last few games, so hopefully he’s more locked in and his numbers go up again.

    His head is a totally different weight now. Got to be tough to adjust to

  5. User_Many_Errors

    He’s in a little slump right now, no biggie

    as someone else said I think it’s mostly having Ingles out but also he’s stated multiple times he thinks he should have a bigger role and be a starter and the shots he takes shows his opinion of himself. He thinks he’s Lillard or Kobe in the clutch. He just has horrible shot selection without someone else to set him up and has shown his passing isn’t as good as we thought it was but mostly due to his offensive tunnel vision.

  7. Residual-Heat

    His 3pt shooting has regressed as he is currently shooting the worst 3pt% of his career.

    He’s hurt. They said he’s been playing through a groin injury.

  9. Fultz has a bigger role again. Pretty simple. He’s also not as consistent.

    Yeah I think as others have said, with Ingles out the fit is a bit wonkier for him overall. He’s having to carry the load for the bench, and just isn’t that good to be the sole offensive guy for that unit. At least, not yet.

    The dip in production lines up closely with him missing the Sacramento game. He hasn’t looked 100% since that road trip out west.

    I would bet my 401k he “hates his role” as sixth man. Or he could just suck. I’m saying this in jest but after watching the last year i was so sure he was getting it and was much more talented then people realized.

    I’m gonna go with mental stuff until proved wrong. guys either have it or they don’t.

  13. Just going through a cold stretch. It happens. Has been dealing with some injuries too.

    Cold stretch, on the court with G leaguers during recent injuries. Not too worried. Yet.

    He’s a streaky, undersized “chucker”. Okay he’s not quite a chucker, but he would be if he got the opportunity to be.

    He has his moments, but IMO he’s not close to untouchable. Hope he turns it around & is in good form for the home stretch of the season.
