I've only seen the last two games, you can't really say my opinion of him has sank because it wasn't very high to begin with. At least not since he got injured his rookie year. He just isn't as quick to the ball or agressive as he was before the knee injuries.
I like his game a lot and I think he can be a productive player, but right now he isn't.
His presence on the court reminds me a lot of what Tayshaun was like during the first half of his rookie year, where he was really uninvolved and would just stand behind the 3-point line and had a lot of people calling him lazy. Only Tayshaun grew out of that by the time the playoffs started and we're on year 3 of it with Delfino.
Maybe it's a confidence thing, maybe it's a play calling thing, I don't think it's a talent thing. Whatever it is, he needs to fix it and start getting involved.
