But but but Mr.99% lol. He may be a decent shooter but the issue is that he's always seemed to struggle with confidence in his ability and belief he actually belongs at this level. Can't blame him. If his shot isn't falling, he's not on the floor. He can't really get his game going any other way and he plays smaller than his size. He just isn't an NBA player. He can be a decent player in Europe and there's no shame in that.

Its about expectation though. Nurse gives out minutes by who can perform defensively primarily. He was always going to be on shaky ground with that and thus the lack of confidence.

Utah has Gobert to erase mistakes. :D

That's why Mitchell was able to just focus on going from chucker to premiere scorer.

Go back to Europe for now, the States is a mess anyways. Enjoy life out there and come back when things are better.

He claimed back to 30% on 3s by shooting 100% the last 2 games (5 attempts in total).

But he was supposed to suck.

Anyways if he taught og to shoot and gave us a second round pick I say give him the keys to the city. At least he isn't Robert alomar.
