You didn’t ask me, but fyi I’m seeing (1) he doesn’t crumble defensively without rim-protecting sidekick Maxi by his side, (2) he makes consistent efforts defensively (even though he doesn’t always make the right decisions), and (3) he passes the ball some—and effectively (which I don’t recall him doing much at all early in the season). Those are major improvements in my view.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
