LaMarcus Aldridge’s start to the 2018-2019 season was inauspicious to say the least. His inefficiency in shooting from all areas of the court caused some to question his ability to find success as the number two option on a team. While his struggles were concerning, I put together an article last month highlighting why I believed his woes were merely an outlier and that he was bound to find his shooting stroke as the season progressed.
There’s been a lot to discuss in recent weeks: The defense has still been mostly awful. Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan have been putting on an offensive clinic.
