He’s second-guessing many three-point shots and often dribbling or passing out of open shots at the rim. You’ll see him go up or in for great looks, then suddenly swivel and either shoot from a worse angle or pass at the last second, which has created a few poor shots and turnovers. We had several players with similar tendencies two years ago that Pope helped to snuff out last year. He has to make decisions faster on passing or scoring if he’s going to overcome physical play, barring the possibility he gains 50 pounds and starts to body guys up. The Jokic path was to gain weight and impose his will that way. I tend to believe Egor would be better-suited to instead work on his decision-making speed which comes with exposure and practice.

It’s really not a huge criticism, I see nearly unlimited potential there, it still just needs to be unlocked.
