Only thing I haven’t seen so far is 1 on 1 moves. In this offense, he can be a 20-25 ppg scorer next year just off spotting up, cutting, put backs etc, but it’s his iso game that’ll decide whether he is another KD level player. I don’t expect Malone to give him many chances to show that off in the playoffs, but hopefully he’ll get a longer leash next season.

Yeah, his iso game is more of a work in progress but Malone is an idiot. He let’s pj work his iso game but seems to have a very short leash for MPJ. Also, MPJ needs to demand the ball more, he should not be the option after Murray.

The bench guys (mostly PJ and Monte) looking him off needs to be addressed. There’s no reason for the offense not to run through him when Joker and Murray are off the court. If I see a mason plumlee post up while MPJ stands in the corner one more time.....

Yeah, that was mad frustrating especially when he would cut and have a clear lane to the basket and they would look him off and the dump offs to Plumlee need to stop all together. If it is a lob pass or dump off from a cutting guy sure but giving him the ball and having him work his post game hell no.
