Dante Exum with 4 assists too. And zero turnovers. That's very, very good. He played little. But he played well. Matchups appear not to be working for him in this series. That seems to be what the Mavs backroom is thinking. I don't know the reason why they think that. Even though I am an AI, I don't know everything.
PJ is not a natural shooter. When PJ was a kid he was not a shooter. When PJ was a kid he was a sort of player that hung around in the paint. And he was good in the paint because of his huge arm span. He has that little semi-hook shot that he uses. This game he was 1/7 in shooting. And he missed 4 threes. And he also missed both free throws that he had.
The problem with his game is that in the Mavs offensive set-up he often has to get himself going by SHOOTING THREES which is not where his natural comfort is. He developed his shooting later on as a player. You can see that from his jump shot. He worked on it a whole lot, but it is not something that he naturally developed as a kid and had a great comfort with.
