Terrible start to the season shooting the ball. He’s averaging 12.5 ppg on 38/22/54 splits. I was expecting a lot more from him in his sophomore season.
Anyone can provide context as to why he’s sucked so far ?
Bad FT shooting
Orlando not finding him in good spots, orlandos guards cant find him during mismatches, is really good at defense, Orlando starting lineup has no 3pt shooting so theres no space for Paolo to work
He needs to learn how to finish at the rim. He bricks way too much from up close. If only Markelle and Cole should show him to have a similar soft touch in close.
It doesn’t help that he is struggling badly at FT line, so even if he does crash the paint and draw a foul it’s not necessarily a good thing for us.
But in general, our offense is struggling all around. Franz is shooting 38% from the field too.
Banchero and Reaves may have lost their confidence after FIBA.
