He's not going to shoot 18% from 3 all season, the lid will be off the basket soon. Hopefully he figures out how to not travel every time he tries to drive out of the mid-post too.
Saric is kind of in the same boat for me. He's exceeded expectations on the defensive end, and Philly knows his game just like Monty knew how to bother Simmons. Not in love with his post game so far, but hopefully he starts to get a few of those to fall his way. Definitely not a picture perfect shot either. He's a fairly versatile player on offense though, especially if he can start getting his short shots to fall more consistently. I do expect him to find his fit more and more as the season progresses though.
Yeah, we've played 7 games, 4 against UTA, DEN, LAC and PHI, and people were very high on Frank early and high on Dario after a few games, and then after a couple games, Frank hasn't suddenly lost the skills we saw. People will have ups and downs. He's shown he's a smart player. Sometimes he didn't take the open shot at times, but the bad thing is, if you''re not feeling it, chances are not good that you will make that shot if you do take it, if not simply for the fact because you are thinking you probably won't make it because you are not feeling it.
Now players can't play with that in their head, and have to get to where they let it fly when they have those open shots, but for whatever reason, 2-3 of our players have had that at times this season. But unless it's a trend that happens for 5+ games, I wouldn't be too concerned
