Why does his shot have to improve. Maybe more consistency
Because is it horrible and a detriment to his game.
I love Marcus, I love his hustle and his winning 50/50 balls. But it is really dishonest to pretend he does not have a problem with his shot. I hope the end of the season increase was for real but unless he improves his shot and his shot selection. He is replaceable. This is not an area of strength for him. I want him to succeed but he has to do it folks.
ts shots when needed more often than not. But he's got that junkyard dog, "IT" factor that you need on a championship team. We have enough offensive weapons now with adding Irving(a bit of a wash with IT lgone)Hayward, Morris, and Tatum, and Hopefully Brown improves.
What this amounts too, is your saying he is a hustle player and gritty and I like that about him. But when a guy does not command respect from the D, that means guys can slack off and let him shoot and double someone else. How is this good for the offense?
Try using more than hyperbole and cliches to defend your opinion.
He's also improved his ball handling quite a bit from season 1. And can run the point fairly well when IT was out last season.
Again, if no one respects your shot than you are a disadvantage at any position to play and it cuts your options. If you can't shoot teams are going to dare you to shoot, if this is not a strength for you it is not good for your team. This also affects your ability to drive because if they play off you then they can react to drives better. This also limits your ability to spread the floor. So it is much more complex than you present.
I want to see him do well. His shot needs to improve it will make him and the team more effective.
