[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1457506, member: 8500"] There is a popular saying in sports, “don’t try to do too much”. I think most players know their limits and what they can and cannot do, including Damonte. Damonte doesn’t have a high usage because he’s not a good offensive player right now. But he still has time to improve. This discussion kind of reminds me of Joseph Bertrand’s senior year 3pt shooting. He ended up at almost 40% for the year but for much of the season he was shooting around 50% from 3. People kept wanting him to shoot more, but he only took around 1-2 attempts per game. Why? Because he wasn’t a good shooter and he knew it. That’s why he only took the absolutely best, wide open, in rhythm 3’s and it led to a good percentage. [/QUOTE]
