As long as he is making them which he is. Doncic is taking worse shots to be honest.


The difference is where they take them.

Doncic will go like 8-13 from 3.

Paolo will take 10 mid range fadeaways.

I think the Magic should give Dwight a run as a broadcaster, a lil trial run

Not like we have anyone else promising in the pipeline and Dwight at the very least has a personality

He should have ended his career as a Magic. Sad the dude had to beg the Lakers for a job.

Doncic took 7 middis this game and a majority of his points have come in that area. SGA is majority middy player as well. I don’t think the issue is Paolo taking middis, I think it has been him doing it efficiently which I think he has been doing correctly.

Not until they start winning more consistently and the team starts playing consistently better with him on the floor than not. And not against 15 win tankers.


Warriors, Bucks, Rockets, Minny, Hawks are 15 game tankers? This is just post All-Star break

Luckily he's only 22 and in his 3rd season that has been shortened and has improved each of his 3 seasons. Showed he has another gear which he showed in the playoffs. His 3 pt & FT shot has seen a demonstratable improvement post ASB with increased usage. On a team that isnt built around his strengths

I dont know why its so hard to look at the positives in his circumstance, and be hopeful he continues to improve his game (which he will)

Beautiful behind the back no-look pass to WCJ. Very LeBron-esque there.
