Listen, I think Donovan is wearing down a bit, and it’s understandable. A kid who played just over 30 games last season and around 30 minutes a night is now playing 40 minutes a night and on game 71. He’s being asked to take on the offensive load of his team, be the face of a franchise, and carry us home in the 4th quarter of every game and carry this team to a playoff push in an extremely competitive and crowded western conference. He’s one of the only guys on the team that can actually create his own shot. What’s being asked of Donovan is insane....insane for his rookie season and I hope fans can understand that. That’s why I think any criticism of him at this point is ridiculous. Look at what he’s done all season long, look at the load he’s carried, look at how fun he’s made this season.
He has room for improvement and he’s going to, but he knows it, the coaches will help him with what he can improve on, and he really deserves nothing but praise from fans for what he’s done. I think it would be nice if he could play 10 damn less minutes a night and the bench could find a way to score a few points and take some pressure off him. The bench has let the starters down in a big way.
I get people aren’t moaning and groaning too much but Donovan’s had weight dropped on him like very few rookies ever had in this league, and I think he’s been impressive in how he’s handled it. He will handle it, he will get better, but he may wear down towards the end of this season and you can’t really blame him for it.
