Still a vitally important player for our list IMO even if he has a quiet game every so often.
The point is even his big numbers games are now built on poor choices and disposal, it's not his fault he whole career is built on being surrounded by ordinary ball use, poor decision making and panic. He was never a great ball user or decision maker, and things have not gotten better as he has aged. He's no longer finding his own space, he relies on others to free him up.
The longer he stays the longer our pain will persist, as much as we love him, we cannot let his game ways get into the heads of our kids. I think Simmo looks to be in the mindset that if he's dropped he'll pull the pin, if that happens it's a huge tell, the very opposite of Daisy!
One thing I liked last night was Levi having a crack, and having a crack at Daisy for the stupid outside boot passing attempt. That is exactly what Levi needs to bring to the game, some aggression, some leadership, some outrage!
I was a bit shocked to hear Wright say pre-game that Levi calls the F50 shots, maybe that is what he has always needed, I wonder how long it has been going on, I'd say only two or three weeks perhaps, based on observations of his game! If he keeps this up I would even accept him getting a contract extension.
