In face, you need to shoot at .467% from 3 to match Robinson's efficiency.

Yeah, except lobs get broken up and noone breaks up a 3 point attempt. Context matters

why? He's not ****ting on a teammate or the org or the coaches... he's venting frustration cause he wants more shots. You would look to trade him over this?

Mitch plays hard. His offense has improved. We literally never EVER throw it into him in the post. Ever.

He is the leagues worst FT shooter and has no range or post game, so im not sure that he doesnt get the ball the optimal amount.

Guy broke Wilt's record and we're not lobbing it to him once in a while. let him vent a little. He'll still come out and fight, dive on the floor etc.

CP3 would be lobbing to this guy 6-10 times a game.

they'll work it out.

It could be worse. Mitch could be on twitter liking anti-semetic movies and boycotting the vaccine

not sure what you're saying. some/most of those break ups are ensconced in the shooting % no? it's not like 30% are blocked or missed dunks

all those missed threes also create long rebounds which create fast break opportunities in the other direction, and 3s do get broken up too

I am saying that lobs are a situational play for a reason. While 3 point shots are a staple for any team. That's the context. Going off of % is shortsighted

Mitch isn't only finishing off lobs- but you do need to get him the ball down low. We don't seem to exploit his efficiency like we should. And it's not just that he doesn't have post moves or he can't hit free throws.

My argument is Mitch has fantastic hands- he isn't Noel Nerlens who had hands of stone- and he is incredible efficient and he should be featured more to exploit his abilities.

Some of the challenge might be Mitch isn't knowledgeable/skilled enough to read and move without the ball.

And some of it might be our PGs just aren't able to get the ball to him in the lane - though I don't buy that.

But, when JB is in the lane and shooting, he is pretty close to money, so I would agree that it might not be worth the risk to pass it.

There is upside with Mitch for this team on the offensive end, I hope we can move on realizing it soon!

Mitch scores in 3 ways, they are all very high percentage attempts( can't even call them shots because they are not)
1) Lobs
2) Putbacks
3) From the dunker's spot when defenses collapse on someone else in the paint( Randle, Grimes)and he receives a dump off and there is no defender between him and the basket

That's it. There are no other ways that he can score. Dumping the ball onto him in the post will not accomplish anything because not only does he not have any post game, he doesn't have a single post move to score on a defender. He is delusional.

I flip-flop about what i want, but what do you think I will do moving forward? If Mitch's work is unfulfilling, what do you think he'll do?

I'm sorry, he's too important. When Randle slows it down to screeching halt, they can't call his number 2 or 3 times a game? He's too important for him to feel detached from the overall operation, or feeling like he has more to give. I ****ing hate it when I'm put in a box, I don't blame Mitch at all

I hear you, but with your personal example, this isn't Mitch going to management to voice his complaints and get some more palatable assignments, this is him going to the company's social media pages and complaining about the work shortly after accepting a promotion/raise.

Angle for more offensive responsibility, draw attention to your moves in practice, go ahead and be the squeaky wheel in that regard - but STFU about it on your socials. Leave the business in house. I'd think that's fair?

I literally provided videos showing you the bold. He's not asking for Ewing/Embiid touches. The guy runs up and down the court 60x and nobody ever throws him the ball. He said "wtf guys" and fans want to call him delusional. cmon now

that is fair, and how I operate.

that said, when I was 24, I was a ****ing moron while I also thought I was brilliant. I think the patience we want him to exude should be extended to him

he's got to do better, but his social media presence is not nearly as bad as Ja Morant's or Kyrie Irving's

+1,000,000

You don't put this out on social media during your team's playoff run when the team is winning.

Hitting 70% of his free throws and developing a go-to money shot in the post would do wonders for his popularity on the offensive end of the court.
