Offensive role players not looking likey they are 'in rhythm' is a valid concern with this team imo. Remember how they treated Morrow? Come in and just fire away? Just being part of the offense, touching the ball, certainly helps I think.
You could tell the way they were using him, especially early in the season, wasn't working though. They'd put him in for like 10 minutes, give him 2 3PAs and when he didn't hit either one people were like, "well this guy officially sucks now." Because he isn't good at other aspects of the game they were visibly asking him to do like screening, defending and rebounding. Basically the role Dono was asking of his was exacerbating his issues.
