I view him more as a defender with great offensive potential.
In the same spirit as the predict nets win total.. i suggest a predict how long till rj has a twenty point game. I say before jan 25.
Would be surprised if he got one this year. He doesn't get many minutes and the minutes he does get he plays very within the offense and hardly forces his shot.
tp. Actually spot on. He could be described as being passive offensively, if youre a typical cynic, but he really seems to be trying to adapt to the R and R offense, driving kicking, reacting accordingly to pins, ice etc.. i didn't like his d on morris in his 4q stretch, needs to get more muscle, obviously. Is matt barnes his ceiling? Or loul deng?
On the whole, I agree. Obviously, they think he has the potential to give them something in the playoffs. Of the young players, he's the one who gets priority for minutes.
On the other hand, I don't think that Barnes or Deng are good comparisons. His big potential is as a secondary playmaker. He is a skilled passer, makes good decisions, and is a low turnover player.
