Message: [QUOTE="Day2, post: 4875583, member: 5348"] Probably because he believes he doesn’t need to demonstrate that type of effort anymore. The feedback he got from the NBA likely centered around improving his outside shooting while continuing to progress in other areas. He knows he’s going to do enough to average 20 PPG this season, which will allow him to take some days off. Days when it’s just not worth it. This was one of those days. (I bet he didn’t want to risk his shooting percentages too much either.) This team’s success - or lack thereof - has no bearing on Mintz’s draft stock. It’s all about the feedback. (I bet he was told to improve his defensive stats as well, which might explain all the gambling for steals.) [/QUOTE]
