I gave him credit last game, but he really needs to brings something, anything, to the table offensively. We can't continue to play 4 on 5 on that end, while Giannis sags off him and is able to help out on penetration. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if his non-existent offense was alongside Irving and Hayward, but it compounds the problem when we have so much difficulty to generate offense (37% shooting tonight) as is.
Lol do we have to bring back the thread where this guy called Semi trash and a bum?
You most certainly can. His statical performance, if not the eye test alone, would support the opinion that he was a really bad player (aka bum) for the 17-18 season. That said, since I've seen you use your fantasy basketball trades to assess real world player value (I wish I were kidding), then can you please explain what return you'll get from Semi's 2.7 PPG on 34.6% shooting?
For that, you get Giannis looking behind his shoulder wondering "where is Ojeleye?" in return
If those step backs weren't working for him he would have no logical continuation of his game against Semi last night. HE would either shoot long twos or try to bulldoze to the rim again. And he doesn't like to create contact with Semi if he doesn't necessarily need to. (It hurts after some time, I am sure)
Referees were ready not to blow 2 charges again, his drives weren't effective initially, then he missed a baseline long 2...I feel like those stepbacks saved him.
Semi should just play his game and even spray some threes, even if they aren't hitting the bottom of the net.
I feel like he is in Giannis's consciousness. Like he is very aware of him.
