2083331, Two problems there

1) He just needs some space on the floor, that's all I am saying. If you are a point guard and you're driving to the rim without anybody else being respected for a drive/kick, yes, you are going to hit traffic that's in position and apart from some dumb-luck contact, you're not going to the line that much.

2) We're comparing him to James Harden??? A two guard who is a very strong scorer? Or Wade or anybody else who's gotten to the line a lot in their career, that's just an unfair and unreasonable comparison. Jrue is never, ever going to score 25 points a night. I don't see many if any point guards going to the line like those guys, except for the big scorers (Rose, Westbrook many nights, etc). He is not like those guys. The more the Sixers force him to be, the more they are just re-doing the same mistake of saying well, you're out best athlete/skill guy, here, we need you to score a bunch and play outside your game.
