0/5 from 3. Hopefully this is going to bring some people's unrealistic expectations down a bit. It's a must as there's going to be too much pressure otherwise. Sure, he was probably also a bit tired, but they're going to have back-to-backs in Eurobasket also, so it's not much of an excuse.
Tonight's shooting performance also shows that we really need to get more games in before we jump to any conclusions regarding his shooting improvement. Variance really plays a huge role in small sample sizes ... Even long 82-game NBA seasons aren't immune to variance.
What unrealistic expectation? Yes, he had bad game. But still the best rebounder(8), assistant and most fouls received.
He will have for sure even worse games, but the important thing is, he's together with Dragic leader of the team. And this's not small thing for the 18 years old rookie.
