What are you expecting?

Like you're this is the definition of insanity.

You're expecting a guy who cannot create to create.

Why would you think that all of a sudden now he'd be able to do it?

So I don't think that he needs to uh reinvent his offensive game.

I think he needs to polish it off.

I think that he needs to be someone who's unafraid uh to shoot over type contests.

A part of that, I think, could be fixing his shot mechanics uh to to some degree over this summer and throughout the regular season.

And then I think that he also has to get more comfortable uh when it comes to finding some way, something he can do when he's inside the arc uh that he can go to if he gets the entry pass down there at the elbow or entry pass down there at the low block to still score.

But I'm not really expecting him to take a massive offensive leap.

Is he capable of it?

Sure.

Uh but just do the basic things right.

And then you do those basic things and you have uh the playmakers to set him up.

Defensively, he's still awesome, and that's a really, really uh high ceiling for a guy uh that can play a pivotal role in winning a championship.

And then for J Dub, I think that the health will be the biggest thing, but I'm not one to call J Dub injury prone despite last season.

I think that last year was a

Weird season for JW and and you know you really feel for him because he put it all on the line to win a championship, playing months on a torn ligament in his wrist.

Uh and it worked, it won a championship, but then he didn't get training camp.

And so now you're coming in, you're already behind the eighth ball without your regular conditioning, without your regular pattern and flow.
