That's what rookies do. Basically all of them.


But with dlo it's been more so a lack of intensity... I mean even his good games were kind of a slump with the sub .400 shooting. In those games he was aggressive at least. Most rookies have misguided energy and make errors. Dlo just looks like he don't give a sh**. Maybe he's sick or fighting injury?


See comment one.

Not to be insulting, but seriously... most rookies don't have this boundless energy, not the good ones. They gotta figure it out, and it takes awhile. We've seen DLo start slow, get good, slow down again, he'll get better again, and then he'll fade again for a bit. Just expect it.

*Just to illustrate the point, consider how Randle has played. He's the definition of an energy player, and yet we've already seen him go through stretches of lower energy play.

I don't know about all that In this scenario, we're not asking the kid to play 40 mins a night. But yes I acknowledge all rookies slump.

If the last minute didn't put a smile on your face, you are dead inside.

Russell is looking like he wants nothing to do with this offense.
