How We Failed Vassell (and How We Can Fix It)

Spurs fans have forgotten what multi-dimensional players look like. DJM had defense, size, plus rebounding with PG skills. White had defense, PG skills, decent three ball, high IQ. Guys like Keldon(scoring) Dev (shooting) and Tre (play making) Sochan (defense) are mostly one dimensional players.

After a nice start Castle is looking more and more one dimensional with mostly defense. Once opposing players figure out guy cant score his play making abilities quickly vanish because they don't respect his shot and dare him to shoot.

Worst shooting season of his career so far, and 4 games in January he's hitting 23% from 3.

Dunc'd On had a stat over the weekend about Vassell having the 10th hardest shot diet in the league. Clearly he's being asked to do too much

The shooting slump I hope will turn around, but he should be put in plays where he can move into a shot off the catch rather than the "here's the ball now dribble dribble dribble into a midrange or worse" offense they have been doing

Most of his hard shots are his own fault because he doesn't know when to shoot vs when to pass and just doesn't know how to create space for himself in general.

exstatic is bumping random threads with no context behind it. He probably would have found this one and had no idea why I created it, so might as well bump it
