I say this every game lol. Keep ya ass in the corner or drive to the rim Kev. Nothing else

I did like that they tried to let him post up. But his clumsy ass lost the ball

he's so frustrating to watch because he has the physical frame and build to do anything, but his mannerisms are so clumsy that he can't do anything with it. it's crazy

Watch on YouTube

Spoiler:
MKG had better defense

Dort did play some really great Defense on him, was pretty much shutting down his drives all game.

simmons is surprising most of all to me. because if he's inefficient there he's not much use on offense at all.

Do you know who Caris Lavert's PG was last night when he dropped 43? Nobody, he had none, yet still found a way to score 43 on 23 shots.

RJ needs to be better, he needs to be held accountable for his play, it's nobody's fault and he just needs to be better.

No cap

I'm surprised CP3 is so low and didn't think Trae would be this low either.

Didn't realize Mitchell's shooting sub 40% this season.

donovan don't surprise me, he's always been inefficient. he's the classic volume scorer. trae is just so small/light. cp3 ? maybe he finally got old.

Lavert is older than Julius
RJ is 6 years younger
I’m sure RJ can find a way to drop 43 on 23 shots at that age with that experience too. Lavert wasn’t doing that at an early age in the NBA.
Like I said, RJ is a on a Jalen Brown trajectory. Demanding that he just becomes consistent and extra efficient is just a big hope.

I'm not knocking RJ's potential, I'm high on his potential so by the time he's in his mid 20s I do expect him to be a much better player than he is today but the excuses for why he's terrible right now isn't as simple as saying he needs somebody to get him the ball in better spots. RJ gets plenty of good looks, he gets plenty of wide open opportunities that he simply can't capitalize on. Can't rely on him to be a go to guy as a wing player and then expect every single shot of his to be spoon fed. With all the attention Randle receives I've seen RJ get good open looks over and over again and he just can't knock them down. Even his bread and butter mid range shots he can't hit them consistently so what kind of shots do we give him then? Yeah he likes to hit the paint and attack inside, the spacing isn't ideal and he could benefit some from less traffic on the interior but still we can't make excuses for him after every bad game because he also plays with the same guys on those nights when he's dropping 25 and actually shows the ability to knock down those very same shots like his games against Indiana for example. RJ is just really inconsistent and that's something we have to hold him accountable for and not point fingers at everybody else.

jaylen brown shoot 46.5 percent and 39.5 percent in year 2. he shot way better in year 1 than rj is now. rj on that evan turner trajectory.

Meh, we’re 9 games in. There’s a lot of players shooting rough right now. Check back 49 games in or something.
I’m not too worried about the shot dropping. I just want him taking better shots. If he’s open at 3, sling it. Its obvious they want him getting in-game reps for improving. Thibs and Bryant must want him focusing on that all season then they’ll evaluate what to do from there.
