Jrue needs to be better.
He doesn't need to be an 18-20ppg but he does need to be a 12-15ppg guy on good shooting efficiency. There is no acceptable reason for a player as talented as him to be sub-10ppg and doing it on horrible efficiency. The defense is not focused in on him. He has many easy opportunities and shot attempts. He needs to make them.
he is at the end of year 15. I don't know why more on this board don't recognize this. The dude is simply old.
Yet he shot his career best three point percentage this season, as well as a slightly better fg% than last year and 1.7% better fg% than his career average.
It’s completely reasonable to ask him to be more efficient as he was all season long, especially as the fifth option, and it has nothing to do with age.
yeah I dont understand Moranis' point. Jrue still averaged 12ppg during the regular season and shot 43% from 3.
would be nice to have that in the post-season. its not like we are talking about a long time ago
Tatum, Brown, Pritchard, Horford are all shooting way less in post season as well thst is in fact fairly typical as you play more minutes against better competition, especially when you are older and at the end of a long srason.
