With his small wingspan "wide open" is very different for him than other players. I remember him not pulling the trigger on some shots this year where I thought he had a window, but I also remember guys closing out on him hard. He has probably had his jumper blocked a bunch in practice and so is adjusting to WHEN and HOW he can get his shot off cleanly. The speed and athleticism is SO different from college to NBA and for a small wingspan guy I think it takes longer to adjust because suddenly he is working at a big disadvantage he didn't once face.
