Wondering about Orlando's offense??

Like I've said on mulitple occasions, Rashard is getting good shots. They are going to eventually start going in.

From today's John Hollinger PER DIEM.....What to make of Struggling Veteran's?

 

But the Nuggets (and their potential trade partners) aren't the only ones pondering the struggles of veteran players four weeks into the season. Several teams face tough decisions in the coming weeks and months if their esteemed vets can't improve on underwhelming November efforts. In addition to Mr. Big Shot, here are a dozen players who merit closer attention:

 

Rashard Lewis, Orlando

Given that Lewis had a tough regular season in 2009-10, the Magic have to be deeply concerned about his dwindling productivity so far this season. Instead of a bounce-back year, he's having a bounce-further-down year. And it's tough to blame it on changes in Orlando's system, when fellow Magic power forwards Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson are thriving offensively in the same environment.

 

Not Lewis. His miserable 10.99 PER is the biggest reason the Magic have underwhelmed thus far offensively (a lesser reason is the next name on our list), while his 14.6 points per 40 minutes are his least since he was a teenage rookie in Seattle. His 41.6 percent shooting from the floor is another unexpected low, but what's truly pathetic is that he's earned only 14 free throw attempts in 13 games.

 

He's started to shoot better....let's hope he's turned the corner...Agree with Emory
