Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

There you have it folks,

Slaf himself says he's playing badly.

I don't think he's playing badly.

I do think he can play a lot better.

Thing that is weird with Slaf is you get 5 posters and they’ll have a problem with 5 different aspects of his game.

He's the new Kirby Dach.

22 in 37 isn't bad. But it's less than what we expected. Some of this may be due to injury but he's lacked intensity for a while now. I had higher hopes for him.

We still have a full 2nd half to play. Lots of time for him to redeem the season. I had a target of 60+ points for him. He can still get close if he has a better half.

I think that if it were that simple he would have already shortened his stick.

Kind of hard to do. Email spam can't help you with that either.

I think when he’s static and overthinking like he admitted he was doing he’s not using his crazy tools and his entire game takes a downturn. He just needs xp and find what type of game works for him. He’s so valuable when he’s on.

Nobody is harder on Slaf then Slaf. The haters have set themselves up to eat some delicious crow. He's gonna become an absolute force in this league. There's even higher gears than what we've seen last season. Still just scratching the surface.

I dont think it was a lack of intensity as much as a lack of confidence that leads to the game going too fast at times, and hence making him seem less intense. But I believe he's the type of player who prides himself in giving it what he's got.

Honestly not worried about him one bit. He could finish the year at the same pace he's played first half of the year and still wouldn't be worried.

Over next couple years I want to see him get more mean. And more confident and assertive. That will come with time. I'm willing to be patient with Slaf. But once he pops off oh man we are so set. The Slaf we saw last year was just a prelude to what's to come
