And I think that is an issue.

I think that's an issue.

And I also think that it's an almost impossible job that he's been put into to hold him to a standard of seeing that team play 48 minutes per night of great defense.

I just don't think that that's realistic, but I also don't think that they are close to that on most nights.

So his shooting has been great as advertised.

Uh, the rest of the game needs work in terms of where is he going to get his shots?

The Athletic NBA Daily
Wizards Week + Shai keeps getting better | Slam N Jam

Particularly if he's not receiving the ball in spot up situations on the perimeter where he's excellent.

The Athletic NBA Daily

He's already excellent in that area.

He needs to put on more strength, a little bit more explosiveness.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Wizards Week + Shai keeps getting better | Slam N Jam

I think he'll get there.

As with any rookie, it's disappointing that he's injured because just as he's beginning to start to figure things out or realize what he needs to figure out, he's not playing because he's injured.

The Athletic NBA Daily

So...

The Athletic NBA Daily
Wizards Week + Shai keeps getting better | Slam N Jam

And I think defensively, he's probably been a little bit better than he was built to be because heading into the draft, he was noted correctly as someone who didn't play much defense at Texas, perhaps because he had such a gigantic offensive responsibility there.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Wizards Week + Shai keeps getting better | Slam N Jam

As his coach told me, I think his defense was better than expected, but there's no good time for an injury, and this kind of slows his development for sure.
