RIP Mamba…

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Well he increased production every single year so he clearly yet to reach a ceiling. Added something to his offense every year as well

I have a feeling he’s going to attempt more 3s next year.

Just sayin…

admittedly, I had never heard him called "no ceiling". Did he make it up for himself like The King?

...or Black Mamba, lol.

What did he add to his offense last year as you obviously watched him a lot more than me. scoring went up a little, but shooting efficiency and assists went down. seems like his advanced metrics on O were a little worse.

Sure, but his production is not without limits.

19 on 13 shots but cant possibly get to 21 or 22 if he attempts more shots....got it

7 for 50 in his career....likely his opponents are hoping that will be true.

Would love to see Bam at 21/10/4

It isn't about opportunities, it's about taking advantage of the opportunities. He isn't aggressive enough at times

Assist went down due to having a real pg finally. Worked on his jump shot but confidence disappeared in it. Thats the only thing he really need. A mid range jump shot and more aggressiveness

I hope not. Mid range is all he need. Dont need him turning into KAT

I agree he isn't aggressive enough but 13 shots per game isn't enough to be dominant

 

[tlance]

You think he's a finished product today at 21? Unlikely.

No I don’t.

And I also highly doubt he ever becomes a decent NBA player.

With the name Bam there is no chance he could get that soft

 

[tlance]

...and I'm sure that when Lakers fans were lauding Caruso in his rookie season, you were shitting on him too.

Nope. Try again.

I have always been on team Caruso.

That is as long as people realize who he is, a very good role player.

Well part of shot attempts is being aggressive. One on one he can dominant most guys imo. He needs to assert himself more, that's what takes him to the next level

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not sure Lebron wants to stay on that roster for too much longer. It's bad

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hitting 3s is great and all, but I want him in the post more (and I believe Ham's 4 out, 1 in offense will as well).

He'll be the strtetch 4 since we signed 2 C's in Jones and Bryant. If injuries happen then he'll play C.

If he's practicing a lot of 3's Ham has told him his role.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Starting to remind me of Bosh. Bosh played on the block more in Toronto and mid-range. He started taking more 3's like AD. AD should thrive on the block or his little jab step unblockable mid-range jumper

True.

Except, he a better defender than Bosh.
