I appreciate how honest and self aware he is. Doesn’t make excuses.
Feeling a 40 point game coming Sunday
I’m glad he’s aware. I know he’s been trying to be more of a playmaker and he’s not gonna figure it out unless he tries during real games. I can see the effort in trying to improve every aspect of his game. My boy is gonna become an even bigger monster really soon
As critical as I am sometimes of him*, he’s figuring it out year by year and game by game. Dude is still a baby in NBA years.
I’m only critical because I know he can be great. Cut down on the silly turnovers and going to the rim with bad intentions and finishing plays will make him 10x scarier. He has it in him to be a top 10 player easily.
He had his sight set on ROY – he got it
He had his sight set on all star – he got it
He had his sight set on the playoffs – he got it
It’s time to get hungry again. We’re ahead of schedule. Let’s get home court advantage and make some noise.
We have a 21 year old super star, thank god!
At the same time, we have a 21 year old super star, we need patience.
