His problem is he is not tough minded. He cant fight thru tough times. He misses some shots and his confidence is gone. His shot directly relates to the rest of his game, because he then loses focus on the defensive end. This gets him pulled, then he loses more confidence. He has to FIGHT thru these times and remember he can still go hard on defense and maybe make some plays. The game is not just about his 3pt shot.

Or the added pressure of a contract year might make him even more of a head case than he already has shown to be. Not that I dislike Daye, he seems to be a good person and he does try. Problem is he presses, then performs poorly, then gets down on himself, plays even worse, then presses some more, ad infinitum. Not sure if what will ever break that downward spiral.

I’m not sure what to even hope for out of Daye anymore. Even in the low times, I thought he could be a sharpshooter off the bench, like a Kyle Korver or Daquean Cook. I’m beginning to think that if he ever becomes even that, it will have to be somewhere else. He doesn’t play well when given the opportunity here, and he might just have lost the will to be at his best in this environment.
