Going from Luka’s backup to a top-5 (or higher?) offensive point guard is a huge deal.

His funks are especially ugly, but these past games have been bad even by his standards.

That’s not to say I have confidence in him, only that I am willing to be patient for a while longer, probably until summer 2024.

He doesn’t always put his head down and go full on bull in a China shop. He needs to cut that out of his game.

I get what Strat is saying with mamba mentality, but the positive spin on that is that RJ’s always looking forward and not getting caught up on obstacles in his path. I think he can learn from this and grow. Hopefully the decreased pressure on him allows him to cook and not get cooked. Even if it doesn’t happen this season that maple mamba mindset at least makes him a pressure outlet late in the shot clock when the offense hasn’t created a better look. That’s still valuable on a lot of lineups for this team.

Reddish is 1-7 tonight. That’s pretty fair.

I guess he’s good at getting to the basket, but that’s not really all that useful because he can’t convert. Other than that, what is he good at? Shooting? No. Defense? No. I don’t see a standout skill and he’s flat out awful in many phases of the game.

I’m trying to envision what “good RJ” looks like and I’m drawing a blank.
