He had like 5 shots hit every part of the rim and not go down. I'm not worried.
Needs to find his shot again, develop a right hand finish, and keep working on the midrange stuff. He’s flashed a mid range pull up and a floater. Also his turnovers have jumped up this year.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 8:28 pmI’m really down on Payne this season guys. He past up an open midrange and drove into a wall. I worry he is now too predictable for playoff basketball.
I think the issue is that everyone was expecting him to continue improving, but he looks the same or worse on most nights. Everything you said he needs to improve could've been said in the bubble.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 9:00 pmNeeds to find his shot again, develop a right hand finish, and keep working on the midrange stuff.

His 6 million a year salary makes more sense now though. We’ll see if he can adjust to how defenses are playing him now.
He often caught people off guard with his quick finishes around the rim and he’s not doing that anymore. Think there could be something to him not playing with Saric anymore too. Saric spaced the floor for him and allowed him a clearer path to the rim. Also took on some playmaking responsibility. He might be pressing a bit as the only playmaker on the 2nd unit.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 9:02 pmI think the issue is that everyone was expecting him to continue improving, but he looks the same or worse on most nights.

I thought Anthony was doing OK until his egregious errors about Stix.djy2j wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 9:06 pmDid Greg Anthony just spew a bunch of fake news about Jalen Smith?
Said he played 1 year of college. False.
Said they’ll probably pick up his option. Can’t.
Said he’s 2 years removed from high school. Umm what?
Said he spent his summer in between high school and college as a riverboat captain on the Potomac. I made that up. Greg made the rest up.
