And those are just the “big” games. There have been plenty of other “good” games that simply came in lower volume than we typically expect from Lou. The team has won his minutes in 10 of his 15 games.

I do agree with you, though, that Lou seems a little off, a little lost, a little unsure how he’s supposed to contribute. But that’s ok. We’re only in the first quarter of a very long season. The good news is that Lou doesn’t seem “washed” or irreparably broken or flawed in some way. He’s just still finding himself in this team. And, for what it’s worth, he’s still third on the team in assists even though he’s playing under 20 minutes a game.
