You bring up some valid criticisms of his game. The no-shows in big games and general inconsistency are well documented. Rebounding is also a problem area. His “basketball IQ” can be called into question at times.
I’ll still trust the stats which indicate that overall, Moss is not “weak” with the ball. And I recall games where even when his shot wasn’t falling, he played good defense and got minutes because of it. As far as passing goes, he does occasionally have the weak/lazy pass. However that is an issue which extends to more than a couple players on this team. I’ve also seen IM make some really impressive thread-the-needle passes along with some nice drives and dump offs to Cook for jams.
Regardless, if you put more stock in the eye test and I put more stock in the stats, I can agree to disagree. Appreciate the thought-out, grown-up response as opposed to childish name calling
Definitely fair points. I probably lean on the side of being really hard on him and maybe expecting too much.
It just bothers me that going into a big game (against a really good team or needing a big win) it seems like he can’t be counted on to give much. And I’m not talking about just scoring. For as much heat as Fran and the team get for not having a dynamic PG, I personally believe having a more consistent and reliable SG is just as much of an issue if they want to be a really good team.
