He played off ball with Luka and was viewed as an also ran in the league. He was just another player. Why do we want to take the ball out of his hands, something that’s he’s really fukking good with, to force the ball into Murray’s hands who isn’t as good, for the hopes that he might go back to his defensive ways and MAYBE be able to bail us out in the playoffs.A lot of flaws with this guy argument but his biggest one is about Jalen playing off the ball. If this guy would have witnessed the third quarter of our last game vs the Wizards he wouldn’t have made this assumption. Jalen literally played off of Julius that entire third quarter and Washington just wasn’t ready for it.
Secondly, Jalen has played off the ball with Luka Doncic. Let me reiterate Jalen has played off the ball for Luka Doncic. If you can play off the ball with high efficiency with Luka, Dejounte shouldn’t be a problem. Trae young is the true definition of he needs the ball in his hands.
