You need to ball out! Forget trying to "fit" into this team and not wanting to appear selfish. Us fans are giving you the greenlight to drive to the lane everytime someone passes you the ball instead of doing the hot potato thing and passing it to a teammate that can't drive as well as you. It's ok to pass if they can take the open shot, but I see so much hesitancy from this team except for Pascal and Myles, but you are so good at finishing at the rim or mid-range and you're strong enough to take the foul. Also you're a great free throw shooter so it will almost always work in our favor for you to drive.

Dude consistently goes full tilt to the basket and gets a charge or shoots a shitty layup baiting fouls that never get called. His decision making going to the bucket isn’t that great.
Not to mention his lack of knowledge on the defensive side
If he’d stop being a bitch about going to the rim sure. He has games where he’s fearless, but he also has tons of games where his head isn’t up and all he’s doing is foul baiting and/or throwing up shitty layups with no chance.
Feels like it takes him a few quarters to build up a head of steam and say “fuck it im going to shoot because these guys arent doing anything impressive the last 3 quarters”
Would be great if he could work that into the rest of the game, not necessarily ball hog but just develop himself as a threat throughout the game, as part of the team.
You act like he didn’t already play like that. The issue is he drives into a crowd of people and takes an awful shot then complains to the Refs
I love Ben I think he is a killer and just all around good his ceiling seems to very high and I hope I’m wrong but the team and offense has seemed to suffer with the amount of time the ball is in his hands the team as a whole just isn’t as fun to watch every thing looks forced the passing all around is so sloppy the offense is predictable
Doesn’t matter if you give the green light that’s how he gets pulled from games
Some of the hate on here is crazy, yes sometimes he takes a bad drive and goes into a crowd it’s cause he can make the tough layups and you gotta let some players take bad shots.
Tyrese takes bad shots all the time but he can make him you live with the misses, just like Steph and Luka…although Luka this year was teetering on the edge of taking too many bad shots
