teddykgb said:I honestly don't understand how it's possible for him to attempt only 13 FG in 2 games. He's the closest thing this team has to a primary scorer, he should probably get that many shots in a single game almost regardless of effectiveness.
Danny does not believe he is a primary scorer, and its generally not a great sign when your GM is trying to reduce expectations for you
“Well, I don’t think Jeff will be a focal point of our team this year,” president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. .... "If we expect Jeff to be the focal point and to turn into Kevin Durant or LeBron James or even Paul Pierce, I think that we’re putting unrealistic expectations on him.”
“I think Jeff is a complete player who can defend and pass and score,” Ainge said, “but, no, I don’t think Jeff is one of those guys who’s going to get you 25 a game.
“I think Jeff needs to become a better shooter — a more consistent shooter — to take on a role like that,” Ainge said. “I think (he) has shown signs of having the makeup to be a great offensive player, but not consistently, so hopefully he can get more consistent at that.
Such a ringing endorsement
