No I don’t concede any of that. This is professional sports and someone is going through the exact same situation and playing the best ball of his career, Joel Embiid.
MCW didn’t have Joel his entire career to win games and sweep his struggles under the rug.
I personally believe he’s better than he’s showing, until he shows it there is no excuses. Told you the same thing while you were making excuses for Brett. Heighten your standards and expectations.
thats not exactly fair
jo is learning where his guys are going to be when he is double teamed. he is doing a good job but still perfecting it
ben has to run the offence
he has to know where everybody is, where everybody is going to be, who needs a boost, who needs the ball to get going etc
i am not telling u a great PG wouldnt already be ahead of ben
i am telling u every year when we have a bunch of new faces it takes ben a few weeks or even more to get the new stuff sorted and he lets his own offence languish before he is comfortable looking for his own offence
thats why last season he started around 14/game but finished over 20 a game
and thats why this early slump doesnt surprise or concern me
