his post literally started with "Number 2"

Might've meant Leonard, but I guess that would still make sense.

[John B]

He started last season hitting 3s too. He got everyone hope up by matching total 3s in first few games as the previous season. Then for some reason he just stop shooting 3s

That’s his achilles heel. If only he continues to attempt, even if he misses, just as long as he makes the defender honest. But as the 2nd or 3rd option of that team, I think he can feel more relaxed to make mistakes and shoot them 3’s. It’s more difficult when you’re the 1st option and you’re too tight not to make mistakes, eventually limiting his game. That’s what TD allowed Manu, TP, Kawhi to grow. Bruce could just be Bruce and not play outside of his character. Unlike last coupke of years when we saw Patty playing PG, Bryn starting.

Anyway, I’m glad for Demar. He was a good soldier, never really complained during his stay here. Pop helped him expand his game, played him and the vets to earn their next contract. And Demar paid back agreeing to the S&T that got u some assets. I wish him well.

Thanks man for the thoughts.
One thing that can’t be understated is how much this team seem to genuinely celebrate each other and their accomplishments on the court.

They're glad the dead weight is gone

Pop didn't help him expand his game... He was a good passer since he was in Toronto... It's just that Lowry was the primary ballhandler... Here he was, so his assists increased...

Wrong again Lowrys USG was nowhere near Demars. DD was the primary ball handler for those Toronto teams. The numbers back that up

I am not too sure about DDR giving back by agreeing to S&T. Not many teams have the cap to sign him as a free agent, at least not bulls.
