Are the shots not falling, or is he not getting as many opportunities? i think there's so much other stuff going on with the Bulls right now, it must be a tough situation to be in with the back-room infighting 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JormaJormala 747 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Confirmation coming in for what was seen last summer at the national team. My source told he was bulking up and losing mobility/coordination. Damn shame, but it is what it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballz 106 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Patience i guess...after some more games, well see if this fg% is the norm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atlantadynasty 552 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 he'll shoot 42-45% more or less. With jabari out and probably lopez at some point, he'll see more minutes in C maybe too, so rebounds and blocks will be there along with the 3's. FG% should improve a bit but it's not like y'all didn't expect this. Still rusty though and obvs won't shoot 20% ROS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claptondecheeks 1,028 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Needs to drive it to the basket more when the shots aren't falling. I get he's a 7 footer with a nice touch but he can't be a tall Korver. Why did he add so much muscle if he's not gonna be punking fools? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

imagindis123 1 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Dec 8: 8 pts, 4 rebs (18 minutes) Dec 10: 13 pts, 6 rebs (29 minutes) Dec 13: 7 pts, 5 rebs (28 minutes) Dec 15: 23 pts, 7 rebs (37 minutes) Dec 17: 16 pts, 15 rebs (28 minutes) It's tough to trust him day to day because the Bulls are just that bad and he might not get his regular minutes. But for long-term ownership, things couldn't be looking better. Surprised by his increase in steals and blocks, too. Look for another good game from him tomorrow against Brooklyn, but don't expect many 3s with Brooklyn's above average 3-point defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JrsKars 92 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just because they are a good 3 point defense who’s going to guard the 7 footer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjett 18 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is he too gunshy tonight..? Or its just the Nets defense?🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I started watching from the third and they ran portis out there a lot and he was having success bullying the nets inside. When Mark checked back in he wasn't really looking for his shot and they were feeding Dunn a lot because he was hot. RHJ was on him towards the end and he's the Nets best defender so that might have contributed. Edited December 20, 2018 by 2pac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute black hole and is delusional about his skill level, but he has that fake hustle vibe so Boylan probably loves him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
