May I remind you folks it was Irving who said we don't need a coach, taking a shot and slight at Nash last year, if any two people bear accountability, it is him and KD. They do whatever they want on the court and it forces Nash's hand to get out of their way. It's KD/Kai that need to realize when a team goes zone, you need to give the COACH a chance to make the adjustment to that gameplan. Why is it that a lay fan can understand ATTACK ATTACK in a zone D set up but the players continue to shoot bricks instead of drive? Let me guess, Nash's passing of the wind is to blame for KD/Kai laying goose eggs as well..... Get real people!

Cam has not been right ever since he hurt his back a few weeks ago.
Kessler Edwards is also a better option tbh. I like Cam but he is a work in progress. He has to become a better 3 point shooter.

Definitely feels like Cam's confidence is gone though..... for a team that needs help up top, we barely play him.... idk if its possible but i would've sent him to the G league for the last few weeks to play and build up his game and importantly confidence....
right now, he's been sabotaged, he can't succeed under this Idiot of a coach and staff.

I said it after but to reiterate i think that knicks game was the worst thing to happen to him. he has taken way to many YOLO step back 30 foot three since then for a player whose biggest issue is trying to minimize the YOLO type shots.
Long term i dont worry about shot selection, but i have a major concern that a scoring wing can have a real contribution for a winning team when he shoots 26% from three (after not being a 3pt threat in college).
51.3 TS% is bad.
Cam is basically a Caris levert type inefficient scorer/shooter only without any of the things that make levert worth putting on the floor (Passing, rebounding, IQ, size)

Not gonna lie, it may sound awful and absurd but IMHO I'm not sure KD is a great role model for him... I don't think KD is the right guy to teach someone like Cam... you(fans) seen his often times tunnel vision... its more basic ISO ball that KD gives him the green light to pursue...
while its good to give him confidence but at the expense of the team dynamic(unintentionally) it's going hold him back.

I agree on role model, but this is also who Cam came in as. a Nick Young type gunner sho is going to take every iso shot available to him

Those YOLO step back 3s look very much like a Harden impersonation. I've seen a lot of Harden-style movement in his game later in the season. Either way, he should be groomed to play in a role within a system. We'd need a system to accomplish that though. We also need the stars to buy into a system, realizing that it's for the role players rather than the stars. You need to keep the role players involved and in check. 48 minutes of iso-ball does the opposite.
