It cant be ignored. No one saw this, and hes just starting with the volume.

Facts

Ant is saving his clutch makes for the stretch run and playoffs. 4D chess

Our final play call same old same old. I am actually mad about this win. Besides Ant and Rudy these guys looked terrible. Very disappointed.

Not sure what’s going on lately with Naz and Jaden but it’s troubling for both the rest of this season and beyond.

They are role players in a slump. Hopefully the roller coaster track is moving up at the right time.

I worried about Jaden's game once Randle came back. He simply has been much better with Julius out of the lineup. As i feared, he reverted to taking a back seat again.

One thing that stood out to me as the play was unfolding. I gotta say Rudy was probably not the best choice to have in that play. He didnt make much effort to screen or dive. He was completely ignored by the defender. Naz or Julius could have spaced out at least for a realistic option. Maybe Rudy was expecting Ant to force a drive and didn't want to clog the lane by diving down for a pass.

I’m starting to really worry about Naz. I’m less sure he will be back next year.

Just from a straight usage standpoint, Jaden usage has not changed since Julius has came back. He has a 16.7 usage since Julius came back and has a 16.8 usage rate in the month Julius was out. He had a 14.2 usage rate before Julius got hurt. So the usage is still there but his efg% is down 3%. He is just having some random stinkers since Randle has came back. He is taking 3 less shots a game since Randle has been back however that is expected when adding a 15 shot attempt player back into the lineup.

I’m personally not worried about Jaden.

He'll be with us and next year look out.
