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

The Athletic NBA Daily

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.

It's very impressive.

Best rookie shooter I've covered by far.

Um,

So he does need to learn where and how he'll get his shots.

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

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

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.

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.
