Alex Speers

I just want to point out that in his first three seasons –

He was very good in the mid-range.

I'm looking at cleaning the glass in the long mid-range.

42%, 42%, 47%, and then fell off a cliff this year to 36%.

I mean, he is... I was...

Really hopeful, as I think I mentioned multiple times, that this would finally be the season that Shaden just put it all together.

And it just hasn't happened.

It hasn't happened in the way I had hoped.

Going into this season, I could make the case to myself that he just has to hit his threes because this guy is already a good score in the mid-range.

He's great around the rim.

Shot 71% at the rim last year, 70% this season.

Yeah.

But yeah, he has definitely taken a step back.

And with all their injuries right now, I mean, now he's out four to six weeks.

Denny's been in and out of the lineup ever since he got hurt.

He had like a low back injury against the Knicks.

It's just the season has taken a turn, I would say, for the Blazers.

So it's kind of affecting everything.

Yeah, he was.

For my bad this week, I want to take a look at half-court offense because we're getting closer and closer to the playoffs.
