Jax made errors, yes. Nobody is denying that. He also maintained verticality and defended Aldridge on multiple plays without fouling or jumping at fakes, held good position on drives from guards without swiping, moved his feet well, and even attempted to draw that charge from LMA (frankly, it was an offensive foul, refs just didn't care).
Did he also have some stupid moments? Sure. Nobody, again, nobody is saying he's flawless. Of course he's not.
But to say he's all flash or nothing, and that unless he's doing ''mesmerising'' ''talent'' plays his game is ''non-existent''... that's just not reality. It's not based on the actual play during games.
