That type of stuttering ain't gonna cut it October thru April, bruv
This kid can't consistently hit jumpers nowhere on Earth...
Stuttering?
He had a brutal game shooting , but was insane everywhere else
I get it from a Knicks fans perspective that you just wanna see him score, but he was great in every other way today
He was pressing the point guards full court all game, and then would switch on to the wings or 4s when France got into their offence
Held Batum to 0/3 and made him invisible. Forced I have no idea how many turnovers and made Frances offence a mess
He drew a huge amount of fouls on both sides of the ball and kept France in the bonus all game.
Was great on the boards in the second half, and finished second in assists and second in Rebs
He shot awfully but didn't force anything, just missed shots
He finished +24 and was huge despite the shooting
I know you guys don't care about off ball play, defense, rebounding, or creating in a FIBA game for Canada (I don't mean this as an a$$hole, I wouldn't care if Jakob poeltl shot like shyt but anchored Austria's defense) , but there was a shocking amount of things I've never seen from him
