I've always thought he was overhyped... I was telling my coworker before the series that he was going to be outplayed by Capela, and would be a huge disappointment to the fan base who thinks he's better than he actually is.
I hate to say it, but I don't think he has the moves or confidence to really score on guards/forwards. That sounds ridiculous to be saying about an all star, but the dude literally looks like he has no confidence to do anything, on anybody, in this series. He could be matched up with a dude 7 inches shorter, and I wouldn't expect him to score. He is also not demanding the ball AT ALL, he looks like he wants no part of it... in the playoffs......
Jimmy Butler should be ashamed of his shot attempts/aggressiveness, and Thibs should be all over him and Towns... instead I am watching Rose and Dieng shoot as many or more shots.... what? I've always liked Thibs, but I'm seriously questioning him at this point. The fact that he isn't laying into Towns and Butler to be more aggressive really bugs me.
