He hasn’t shown anything ?
I disagree, he had a good run of 3p shooting during the season, he has done a better job at attacking the basket this year and he’s been mostly healthy in his second year. He needs to improve to become more consistent but if he was already doing that he would be already considered above average.
I guess we will see if he gets there but to say he hasn’t showed anything, seems a little on the pessimistic side.
you took 3 words out of a whole sentence. I said he hasn't shown anything to show he will be above average offensively.
I took the only 3 words in your post that were relevant to our discussion. The rest of your post was about championship levels teams scoring, which has little to do with whether a player will be more than 10 point per game role player.
Either way, it just seems that we see JI differently right now. I think his defensive ability right now, make him an average starter even with his limited offensive role he is in for now.
