The excuses are mounting.
I once gave him the benefit of the doubt too. Ever occur to u that what we saw of him tonight is just who he is? (excluding the very poor shooting)
Tonight we were missing three starters plus Dean and going against a very good team in their gym that plays great defense. Darius also admitted he’s not yet 100% after the injury.
I would use the last healthy year he had as a better proxy when he was voted into the all star team at 22.
I think it’s dangerous to evaluate a player in an injury plagued season and especially when we’ve had a very heavy schedule since the all star break with a lot of players out.
Very easy to classify difficult obstacles as “excuses”. Fact is that Mitchell, Strus, Mobley and Wade is a lot to have out vs a team like Minnesota.
