But the complaints are about Jett who shot 50%
Why the team can’t find and feed the only guy who was a 50% 3pt shooter tonight should be the question. Queen was 1-9, in what world does he have any business taking shots when he’s so damn terrible at scoring? Hate Jett all you want but when the guy has the one skill we desperately need the focus should be on why he isn’t being appropriately used.
That problem goes to Mosley. The fact that he can't get 4-5 3pt shots for Jett right now is crazy.
It’s clear to me Jett is in his doghouse because of all the other things Jett does wrong which are Mosley mandatories - defense and effort being the main two. But he chooses to reward the much worse shooters with shots, freedom and more offensive focus. In Jett’s case Mosley is failing to get the most out of him. Considering shooting is our worst offensive area, he’s also failing the team by not trying to get the most out of his arsenal of options.
Let's be objective for a second and ignore fact he is 11# pick from last year.
Can you tell single thing he is good at at nba level?
If best you can get is "32 percentage three point shooter" and guy shoots 5% below league's average on TS% that is 7% below league's average, defending him is losing argument.
He is in dog house because his BBIQ is very low, especially on defensive end , where he doesn't grasp concept of team defense, never rotates on time and has so poor athletic profile where recovering from poor rotation is impossible. It's indicative that somebody played 534 min in nba and has 9 steals and 9 blocks. ( for comparison sake, Tari Eason last year, in only 22 games , being 6'8- 210, collected 31 steals & 19 blocks, playing 50 min less).
Guy lacks first step burst, lacks foot speed, laterally he is no faster than some 35 years old players.
In same time for guy that allegedly had good passing vision, he hardly breaks 1-1 assist to To rate.
His rebounding is zero.
He drew 10 shooting fouls in 43 games.
His efficiency is dog s*** ( 50% TS).
He shoots 36% for 3 in catch and shoot. That's great. For Magic.
Heat has had 7 players who shot better, including Jimmy -I-can't-shoot- Butler.
Nuggets have 6 players who shoot better.
Celtics have 7.
Clippers have 6.
76ers have 6.
His offensive rating is 101. If that's a team's offensive rating, Magic would be 3rd worst team in nba on offense.
In 2007.
Him and Black are playing catch up in terms of development. Franz and Paolo ( and Suggs) are entering their serious contract years, we can't just wait until some mediocre prospects develop and throw seasons under a bus in process.
Black is borderline, Jett is full blown unplayable on winning basketball team.
Imo, there is no reason to waive him or anything, give him one summer to adjust, but if he returns and looks like this, his nba career will soon look like Jarrett Culver's nba career.
