I’m really glad to have FVV back to take care of the ball, but he really needs to be reigned in on his shot selection. We have enough players now who can score when you put them in a good position. We don’t need Fred taking 9 3s in less than 30 minutes of playtime unless he’s got a hot hand. 

Ime loves to be tough on the young guys and give them short leashes, but he seems to let vets do whatever they want even if it’s detrimental to the team.

Agreed.

You can see the impact FVV has in moving the ball, except when he decides he has to take shots that he has no business taking. He can take a few open shots each game, but he needs to just pass to his far more talented teammates the majority of the game.

He's always been this way unfortunately and Ime isn't going to say anything to him. He has Steph's shot selection and feels himself a little too much out there so that's not going to change.

He takes care of the ball better than just about anybody in the league, organizes the offense, and is a stout defender. Always in the right place and right time.

If only they'd hit 4.8% we'd all be having a very different conversation right now.

I guarantee they will shoot 5% from three for the season. That's definitely going to happen.
