Is this the worst play of the year?

How do you jack up a 4-on-1 fastbreak? Probably the dumbest “easy” decision play I’ve ever seen. I honestly had high hopes for this guy when he was coming into the league but my god...

On top of it all, he throws it to Augustin who was clearly the worst option in that situation. This dude is cancelled. Get him outta here.

That was just absolutely horrible, but he was brutal to watch in Europe as well; the hype around him was pretty unreasonable, he was an awful decision maker, had a poor handle, had no defensive ability, had an inconsistent jumper, and had a questionable attitude (I have posts dating back that these statements are parroting). I know he has put up interesting statistics over the past three weeks, but to be brutally honest, you would have to ignore the context of the blowouts (and the points allowed) to really see that as particularly encouraging.

TL;DR: I'm not a fan of Mario Hezonja.

He said a lot of cocky stuff's before the draft.

I was happy that Orlando drafted him in the draft before Kings.

He never had any tallent for all the hype surrounding him back he was drafted. This and his past performances proves all that he is indeed a thrash ass player with a cocky attitude.

If he had the play over again he'd probably sky a lob pass into the 4th row

That play aside, he's actually looked good recently with minutes, touches, and a longer leash.

I think he could be a solid rotation player in the future for a team, just have to live with the dumb plays like this one from time to time. Although I don't think any has been as dumb as this.

Considering his history so far in the NBA, yeah that was pretty bad. I mean, Mario... You've been garbage. Just make the textbook pass.

Give him a break lol. He’s on a absolutely terrible team. He’s probably just trying to have some fun. If he pulled it off we’d all say cool and that’s the end of it. Let him do this in the playoffs and then I’ll be upset with him.

Good thing that's unlikely to happen.

I was in someone's sig for the whole draft process and his whole rookie season for saying he was an absolute scrub that had no business going in the first round. Said he's be a worse JR Smith and he's not even that.

Bad play but bad timing for this because when given some minutes guy is balling.

Tonight, Draymond Green had a point blank layup on a fastbreak but passed it out to Curry at the 3 point line. He missed. I suppose if you were going to pass it out to anyone in that situation, it would be Curry, but it was still an idiotic play (unless you're down late in the game, which the Warriors weren't) because he gave up a sure 2 points.

Green was doing that showmanship thing and was trying to get the crowd pumped up from Curry hitting another 3. A good example of the Warriors preferring showmanship over just making the simple, winning play. That's the kind of stuff they can beat themselves with.

Was a bench warmer in Spain, yet acted like he is the best young player in the world. How about beating Brad Oleson on rotation chart before acting like a superstar. Never understood the hype, cant play D, cant dribble.

There's no way he could have pulled off that pass though, that's why it's so terrible lol

I'll go out on a limb and say yes, this is the worst play we've seen in 2018.
