  1. La question à ce jour est de savoir si l'apport offensif de JR peut compenser ou non ses difficultés défensives (intégration dans le schéma, implication très aléatoire). Après avoir vu l'ensemble des matches, il me semble que son implication défensive est fonction de sa réussite offensive. Bien sûr que l'intégration de JR demande du temps et tout le monde y travaille j'en sûr certain. Mais une autre question se pose : JR a t'il vraiment envie de jouer au Minnesota dans ce système ? Si oui (mais j'en doute au vu son langage corporel et encore à son état de forme physique) et bien cela prendra sûrement beaucoup de temps dans le cas contraire la saison va être très très longue.

  2. Au fait l'apport offensif de JR ne compense pas son absence de défense off-ball, donc JR doit d'investir de ce côté là. Son désintéressement défensif actuel est en train de fracturer la défense des Wolves.
