His ability to make entry passes into Davis is a really underrated skill on this roster. We just haven’t a coach who’s good enough to utilize that. It’s strange that we went away from Vogel to optimize the offense and yet he wrung out more juice and a league average offense out of similar pieces than Ham has managed to do.
No D'Lo fan... Like at all... And I have watched almost no games this season. That said, when I have watched, it does seem like D'Lo is the only one who can hit AD in the hands above his waist... Schroder was pretty good at it too as well as Reeves for a minute... Caruso was pretty good at it too... LeBron isn't for some reason.
I'm also not sure why we can't feed AD more in rhythm... And I agree Vogel seemed to get more of it out of the roster he had than we have since...
This roster is arguably better than what Vogel had, but produces less.
I have complained about D Lo’s defense a whole lot, but I also try to call his offense for what it is. It’s been great. His PnR game is second to none on this team, elite in the league. He can create his own shot, makes difficult buckets routinely, spots up well. He has been super valuable to us this season and his current contract is reasonable.
But his game becomes less impactful in the playoffs, where things slow down and we’ll see AD passing out of double teams a lot more than we’ll see fast breaks and semi breaks. All in all, D Lo’s defense and current match form makes now the time to trade him, imho.
With a better system in place, we wouldn’t have to rely on any one player’s magic to save us on offense night after night. Inside out, a few triangle sets…
