Could tell defensively we’re weren’t as sharp in that game. Interesting about shot selection. I don’t recall either of them standing out to me as having taken bad shots. If anything, Jaden takes some un-assisted contested shots in the paint which at first seem forced but he makes them. It’s been obvious since last year that JJJ is unselfish almost to a fault. Needs to find the right balance.
I always thought the garbage minutes were a reward to a player who worked hard in practice but wasn’t talented/gifted enough to earn regular minutes. If Walker is working to improve his D and get in better condition, how does being glued to the bench help him be more complete? Seems like it would be more likely to break his spirit and push him toward the portal. JMO as I know nothing of this particular situation
I think Keon is prone to force some shots. It's almost as if once he makes his mind up that he is going to score, he does whatever necessary to get the shot off. And right now, I'd say any shot from 3 is ill-advised for him. Springer just seems like a much more mature, more natural offensive player and even his contested shots, like you mentioned, seem to go in more often than not. Schwartz mentioned how he knows when to go to the basket and when to slow up and shoot the little stop jumper. He is also strong enough to absorb contact.
