That's not a lot of shots at all and even you know that. An inefficient chucker like Levert can do that in two games. Yet they continue to still give him the green light to shoot.

The fact that he's only taken seven total threes is on the Cavs as well because draw up those type of plays for him until he can create his own shot.
Because he can't make them. Nothing to this point suggests he's going to be a good shooter because he hasn't improved at all since his rookie season. He's basically the same player and he isn't strong enough to play center, which is what they need him to be if he isn't going to develop his shot.

I think he's really good as a roll man but they need him to be more. And don't say Mitchell and Garland are stunting his development because Chet walked into a rising team this season with a First Team All-NBA guard and already making a greater impact than Mobley.

If Cleveland called OKC and offered a swap, Presti would block their number while Cleveland would throw in additional picks to make it happen.

Giddey really the odd man out now in OKC. Didn't play down the stretch. Subbed in to run the inbound. Then sent right back to the bench for OT
Yeah, if they're smart they'll cash in on him sooner rather than later. Plenty of teams would love to have him and he's a good player but he needs the ball to be successful since he can't shoot. Obviously, they are not taking the ball out of SGA's hands.

Teams usually hang onto these misfits too long until their value completely diminishes and they get nexto to nothing back like John Collins, CJ McCollum, Ben Simmons, etc.

He doesn’t need to be a good shooter right now. Even average at this point would make the world of difference for that team. You can’t get better at something if you don’t continue. I said the said thing about Simmons and still stand by it. Even someone like Brooks is showing that after being an inefficient chucker for years.

Also that OKC team is better than the current Cleveland iteration.

They're better because of Chet.
