He's being utilized that way in the gameplan. The problem is his athleticism is beyond his basketball skills, so he gets good looks that he has to take. Either way it's frustrating all around. He just can't make shots, wide open 3s and free throws should be where any player can seemingly grow.
He can't shoot, he can't dribble, his vision is shit thus his passing is shit, his IQ on both ends is subpar, his reaction time is terrible,his defense is subpar, his hands are terrible, his athleticism is 99 percentile, yet he never utilizes it. He shows zero emotion. There is nothing he is actually good at. He is defeated in his own head, it is that simple. He is not confident. I highly doubt he overcomes that at this age.
Place him on the bench, and make him put up or shut up for 25+ mil per year.

How do you really feel? Haha. Let it out. I'd give you a hug if I could man, I hope your tears help.

Well, obviously because we needed a three to tie, and Josh is the...what? 14th best 3-point shooter on the team at 27%? Really?
Assuming your question isn't rhetorical, the answer can only be "because Thibs is our coach".

Just weird all round.
He couldn't trust saric to inbound the ball, so wiggs did it. But then that leaves 2 bigs as your only 3 pt shooters when u need a quick hitter.
Tyus and okogie, neither should have been on the floor.
