I agree with that but at the same time when you done get fed the ball in the offense, players tend to slack on the D
Lets talk about this,cuz i think its a bogus excuse used for him....and it doesnt even work because hes a very inconsistent offensive player.
Last night for example looked like about 70 other games ive seen him play this season where he cant dominate mediocre to less than average centers/defenders guarding him...He wasnt doing shyt in the post,he was getting pushed off his spot by Tyler fukkn Zeller of all people.
What does he do that warrants more touches ? He frequently gets pushed out of the box and instead of re setting and positiong,he just takes the ball outside the elbow and starts his series of pumpfakes further away from the basket usually ending up in a turnover or hideous shot attempt...
He hasnt done shyt to warrant getting the ball more...If he was more consistent and made better decisions he'd be able to play that card and so could his stan base as of right now he needs to just worry about rebounding and defense...
The idea he doesnt need to try because he isnt a 1st or 2nd option on this team is hilarious....He'd get less touches on better teams and on many of those western conference teams i dont even think he'd be starting...
