he may be better at defensive effort but he is worse at actual defense.
IT is a somewhat better team player than Kyrie but not as good an ISO scorer or pure shooter, particularly in pressure situations where fouls are not getting called.

I mean, we all SHOULD have known that IT was going to have some ugly games for the first month or so. He needs to get into game shape first and foremost. He missed every single three he took short, front rim. Classic sign of no lift/fatigue. Given that he's shown some very good flashes as well as some very bad, it's been about what I expected with him. I'm more interested to see what he starts to look like on a nightly basis come late February/early March. Until then I'm going to suspend all judgment because it's just not fair or smart.

Agreed, it'll never happen in a thousand years. Still make a good living though.

Yeah, he's definitely rusty.
But the bigger problem is getting blocked by Delon Wright, multiple times, with ease because he's a fucking little person.

If I see this dumb fucker do another moronic jump pass, I will lose my shit.
Just awful.
Being ought of shape and shooting poorly is understandable. But jumping in the air before passing is awful fundentals....especially for a midget.

Yeah he's been out a while so gotta expect some of this. We've just been spoiled by having point guard that could finish at the rim better than any other point guard in the league
IT is better at stopping on a dime and pulling up while letting the defense than finishing at the rim because of his size and athletic ability

In a sense, this is like training camp, with a key player having to get into shape before we really can see what we've got.
And LBJ knows it. Busting his ass right now may simply not make sense to him.
I have faith that i.t will come good however i think he should be shut down for a fortnight. He has made his return, dusted a few cobwebs and now its time to reset. Get some solid rest in and work on a few things and then come back full steam ahead.. he has hit a wall right now
