I honestly can’t believe the regression. I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s playing now but it’s something mental and he’s been sulking for a minute. But the defense is a real issue…he’s arguably the worst guard defender in the league outside of Trae.
Why do I get the feeling that’s pretty much the majority of player’s go to weakness now?

That’s the biggest issue. You are playing 5 on 4 on defense when he’s on the court. But before he gave you streaky shooting can stretch the floor and could create his own shot, so it was acceptable.

Now that he’s regressed into an absolute scrub on offense, playing him actually hurts the team. You are better off with GP2. You know his offense is trash but at least he plays defense.

Can't nobody convince me otherwise
Something is missing
I saw a interview of his when things were good and thought the same thing. I think they wrote his statements down for him to read. It also explains why he is rubbing everyone the wrong way

Talent pool for offense is higher than its ever been, you aren't forced to take a guy who "just shoots, but can't dribble or pass" because somewhere else you'll get the same shooter who can dribble and pass too. It ain't the 1990s where you have one guard who only passes at an elite level but can't drive or shoot, another who only shoots at an elite level but can't drive or pass, another who only drives at an elite level but can't shoot or pass, etc. And bad offense is damn near unplayable now that defenses know how to hedge off guys who can't score and force you to play 4-on-5. So one-dimensional offensive players have been marginalized from the league. There are fewer bad defensive players than ever before too, but their defensive weakness is more apparent cause there's no one left to hide them on.
