For him to regain his confident, he needs to be given good minutes, that guy provided a double double in the past, I'm sure that talent is still in him but the confident level may reduce. But I like to believe that the present team that he will play will help him to be aggressive again, he needs to tally that good stats again so he can secure his good future, this is his best chance especially if Lakers will win the Championship.
He'll definitely get his rhythm much faster if he gets more minutes but I'm not sure if he'll get that confidence back, they will have to keep on winning. I also don't know about his talent, I mean he got some decent post moves but he has not really develop even a mid-range J which I think is very important for centers now. It was mainly his size and athleticism that made him dominant before and he may have lost them after the injury.
I dont think so. He is focused only with those skills. If he aint giving any chance for himself to shoot mid range shots then he still good under the rim.
With those only in his focus then I bet it wont be that difficult to do so.
I have been looking at Celtics and it looks like they are going small this season. More like the Houston Rockets.
With Al Horford not around anymore, they will be relying on Smart for defense.
Well, the guy is good at it, he defends players 1-5.
Gordon Hayward needs to go back to his old self though.
