He didn't show much of this at Arizona either.
That's what I was a little worried about which everyone said it's not a big deal. He doesn't have that in-between game. It's either under the basket or a jumper.

Re: Preseason Game 3: Portland Trail Blazers @ Phoenix Suns
Id rather see Warren start with Ayton and run those screens they do where Ayton hands the ball off because Warren would be money off that. Jackson is back to his SL play. Im worried.

before we start jumping to conclusions, remember, we don't have Booker yet.
Devin, if you could hurry up and come back (when you're totally healthy), that would be great.
Nobody should jump to any conclusions during the preseason. Most of the teams are not taking it that seriously except for the really bad ones desperate to improve.
Lillard hasn't even taken a shot.
Suns don't seem to be taking it very seriously and they were the worst team in the league last year. But, can't do much without their star and a competent player at PG.

Re: Preseason Game 3: Portland Trail Blazers @ Phoenix Suns
Would you rather Warren not shoot the 3 or Jackson take one?

He is a 20 year old rookie

But he's been a big man his whole life. Should at least be able to back down and shoot a jump hook. Not saying he can't do it and I'm not saying he should be Kareem, but it's just an observation for the moment.

Haha...just taking hate because he has haters...he's played 7 minutes, not missed a shot with 4 points, 2 ASSISTS, 0 turnovers, a steal and a rebound. Only guy on the team without a negative +/- other than Ayton who is +1

JJ scares me he reminds me of if we decided to give Goodwin minutes and a green light.

JJ keeps playing like this and we might need to have a whole different kind of conversation with Minnesota.

All he's gotta do it take it. Even if he doesn't hit it, just take the damn shot
