I'm hoping that you're being sarcastic.

He was throwing up some terrible looking shots that weren't even close. Just not a guy you want trying to create shots. I like him much better off cuts, spot ups, and post ups (but only when he's deep). Just not a guy we can rely on as an efficient primary option. That's why Crawford had to close this one out for us!

I'm not sure why we don't look to get Bjelly the ball a bit more. He has become a legit 3-point threat and we know he can make the right pass. I suppose the fact he's playing a bit out of position means it's a little tougher for him to find space with smaller, quicker wings guarding him.

The only consistent pass he gets is off of wiggins some and kick. And if wiggins doesn't look for him, there really isn't anything else because teague looks off everyone.

IMO it's ridiculous sometimes how he isn't fed for looks. Britt Robson gets pretty worked up about it on Twitter.

That was Max Wiggins in effect.

My feelings on Wiggins from britt

"When Andrew Wiggins used to average 20 points a game, his critics complained about his one-dimensional game. Last night he plays wing stopper, gets 4 rb, 3 assists, 3 steals + 2 blocks + is a game-best +6 in 42 minutes and people are ripping his shooting."

One dimensional is one dimensional. You can find great defenders who can't shoot all day long (Roberson or Sefolosha).

If you want to be worth max money, you better do both or be a superstar on one end at least. We know Wiggins isn't a Superstar defender, though he has shown some improvement. Would you say he is better then Avg defender? IDK, as far as starting SF's I would say he isn't yet.

If he would become an elite defender with high effort who is semi efficient offensively , I think that's the best we can hope for. We've seen him shoot better over shorter spans like the beginning of last season for the first month or so. He could shoot 36-38% from 3P over a year I think, I hope.

Does anyone listen to the telecast. Jim Pete says it every single game!! It doesn't make sense. Gorgi is more of a focus of the offense and touches the ball more when he is in the game. So weird.

Yep Jim says it also. I didn't say that because I pretty much thought it was a given. Like I've said a few times Wiggins seems to pass to him as much as anyone. It's weird.

I agree, Wig does seem to look for him. Wig has gotten better at the drive and kick that last couple of week it seems. Teague, and Crawford miss Belly quite often.
