I really don't understand what the bolded means, and I really don't know how they're misusing his talents. Everything that's wrong with his offensive game right now begins and ends with his inability to make shots and quick decisions with the ball.
I don't know if it's an inability to make GOOD shots. He came out shooting well last game, with two 3s on good, clean looks. He then settled back into a bad pattern of taking difficult shots and the results were predictable. DHam shot 40% last year and is right at that mark for this year as well, but that's after this awful 18-81 stretch. Prior to that he was shooting closer to 50%, largely due to taking better shots I believe. Moreso than any other player on the team, DHam offensively will benefit from Amida being back.
Maybe next time you might want to watch more than 6 mins of a game before commenting and bashing 1 of the only 2 players who played well on offense yesterday. Just a suggestion
I think he really gets down easily, lacks mental toughness of great ones. All the skills are there. He needs a little more old man in his game on drives to the hoop, nuances of getting a good shot. But when he shoots it under control and squared up, he's fine. The nuances can be taught, I worry the mental toughness may never come.
He also doesn't maximize his opportunities to get to the line, which an 85% free throw shooter should absolutely do. I'm surprised by how much some people are blaming DHam for yesterday's loss though. If he doesn't have one of his best shooting days of the season, we're blown out of the building.
Nah...he wilted in WINNING time.
I commented on the same in another post. He gives up way to many points. Always kicks it out to Purvis to try to bring the house down. Just get the two points will ya!
He is a rebounding fool for sure. Gets the rebound and he is on his way down court. Excellent. Although it seems more than half either gets his pocket picked, errant pass or a typical pass for a three. For years I always enjoyed your posts however sadly I have to disagree. Maybe at one time he was on his way. However, my opinion, no where near NBA prospect as of this post.
) and not ready at all.
Come on man, this is a little ridiculous. He has NBA skills, just needs to improve them, just like every prospect has to. You're right, he won't rebound at this rate because he won't be asked to. He will most likely be a SF. Not many, if any, SF's average 9 boards a game. He is a good passer and will only get better. Yes, he needs to work very hard on his shooting. But shooting can be learned easier than instincts. Im not saying he's the second coming, I'm saying if he puts in the work this summer and becomes a more consistent shooter, and puts more effort in on the Defensive end, he can be a good player. Also, that last Nolan point was one of the dumber things I've read on here.
