Not exactly (nice try!), but I'll equate the "don't worry, everything's going to be fine" sentiment, though.
Maybe Stuck isn't quite ready to run the point, score by driving, score with jumpers, play D, etc. Some can do that right away, others it takes a lil time.
Stuck has shown signs of being able to do all those things. iirc, Darko didn't even see the floor til year 3?? Or did he get some cigar time in year 1 and 2?
Stuck is playing when the game is on the line and not doing terribly. He might not be living up to some peeps expectations but he'll be continue to improve. He just needs some more time.
What "nice try"? You are the one who made the ambiguous statement.Quote:

As far as Amir, I agree that one is on Joe. We didn't set the bar high, Joe did.
He's playing how I expected right now, I expect him to do better than this as the season goes on, and that's better than I expected when we picked him, so I'm fine with this.
