They're all 23 years old or younger, but they go through down stretches.

We started January with Jabari, and now we've seen it the last few games with Shingun.

I mean, some of it is probably the ankle, but I also think there's a compounding effect.

You could see tonight his body language, especially in the first half.

It was terrible.

There were possessions where, you know, he was throwing his arms to the heavens.

He wasn't getting back on defense.

He wasn't identifying.

He just didn't pick up Gafford at all.

And he may look disgusted on the bench.

And Gafford had a just an uncontested dunk in a half court situation.

And Shingun was just sort of standing in the lane and didn't know where he was.

And I think in a lot of ways, it's similar to what Jabari went through earlier this month in that when Jabari's shots weren't going in.

you could see it written all over his face.

The body language just wasn't right.

And on recent shows, we've talked about the metrics declining.

I think to some extent, we've seen that with Shingun in recent games.

The touch hasn't been there and the ankle's probably at least a small part of that.

But I also think that

The overall dip in his performances, it's led to a guy who's just frustrated and not quite himself.
