how can’t you trust him ?
Classic punt FT% big man type (58.3 FT%). Elite shot blocker and rebounder who is going to shoot in at least the high-50s from the field. Does absolutely nothing else. Will be a backup to start the year but not hard to see him being a grab late when POR goes all-in on the tank.
Re: Jalen Johnson: His fracture involves the radius, the bone located on the thumb side of the lower arm. Richaun Holmes missed 28 days after suffering a similar injury in 2017. Average time lost for all other nondescript wrist fx's that did not require surgery is ~31 days.
Brook Lopez is averaging 4 blocks per game since the Bucks swapped back to their drop defense.
Blocks in the first 4 games:
0, 0, 1, 1
Last 10 games:
8, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3, 7, 6, 2, 5
Lamelo just continues to make baffling — non winning — basketball plays in real situations. I understand his counting stats are starting to look better, but man, there’s something that’s required from a winning player that I just don’t see.
