Dude, he's an undrafted rookie.
He was so promising in the beginning of the year with dunks, dribble drives, nice passing, and decent defense.
He hasn't even looked like an NBA-level player these last few weeks. He passes up every shot and never takes more than one dribble, and whenever he tries to set something up it ends in a turnover 3/4 of the time.
He looked really promising for a guy with his story, and his athleticism is certainly at an NBA level, but honestly the guy is 26 and doesn't look anywhere near ready to contribute to an NBA team. He can't get by NBA players off the dribble, so what exactly does he do well at an NBA level?

He needs to work on his mid range game, tbh.
You expect ups and downs for rookies.
at those premature "he made it" stories on ESPN/SAExpress....
This and his ballhandling.
He's also trying to clean up his mistakes which means playing more under control.
what happened to your main account?
He lost his secret stuff....
but honestly, probably just lost confidence.... Maybe Pop putting a lot of pressure on him but if he wants to make it he has to persevere.
no longer playing with house money, now expected to contribute...
Rookie wall, not enough minutes. Haven't you noticed he's been in the doghouse before this game
Every player the Spurs pick up can't be Michael Jordan.
He's shook. He's prone to the shookness. I never have seen a player in camp look as shook as he did.
You have to let him get past it, he's one of those players.
He isn't as good as everyone thought and a Rockets fan.
He's trying too hard to fit in.
He's a D-leaguer.
Pop just limiting the rotation to playoff mode
Agreed.
every player is one of those players. confidence is a bigger factor than athleticism
Lost confidence
So we should drop him for Martin then?
It's like no one has actually played basketball before tbh.
Teams now have a semblance of a scouting report on him so it's now in his court to adjust.
First year player without consistent minutes won't get consistent play in his game. So his game play will be up and down. He just has to stick with it and pull through. He was looking good with regular rotational minutes but like any player, let alone a first year player, he had a few bad games. Minutes decreased and he got out of rhythm. Lost some confidence and not back in sync with his teammates in game situations.
Coasting. Non-issue.
