So everyone is just running this 3 man action with 2 shooters at the corner?

The way it sounds to me.... Is they have a coach that's never coached in the NBA and thinks he can coach like Europe or college and fans in Memphis thinking small about to go through a rebuild when they have 2 youngsters they're lucky to have over an unproven coach they'll fire soon enough anyways.

Not saying the players can't be more professional. But the NBA is a player's League and any coach needs to know that

Randle is a two time All NBA guy. Who making fit into your team is very difficult. It seems to be “working” (they’re .500) for Minnesota because they don’t really have a PG right now.

I doubt Banchero can get to Randle's level, he seems to be a really bad 3 pt shooter. I actually think Randle is way underrated, probably top 3-4 PF in the league. I think Knicks would be better with him than Kat.

My guess is he either lost his love for basketball or got caught up in personal distractions like his family issues, romantic relationships, luxury life and etc. Over time, that passion for the game faded. He went from someone obsessed with getting better to someone just staying in shape and just suiting up.

Teams are picking up earlier and pressing more while running PnR because it’s tougher to defend elite perimeter players 1v1. By applying pressure early, they force the primary scorer to give up the ball and wear him down over time. Offensively, players have also gotten better at breaking down their man, especially with the resurgence of mid-range scoring and pivot foot work in the paint. Running fewer set screens helps prevent traps, making it easier for the ball handler to find the open man.

No worries, we have 96 minutes at the PG and SG position. That's 32 minutes each

A package of zion for a package of Ja makes sense. Pels got surplus of guards while Zion and JJJ makes sense.

Kawhi looks incredible. gives me a lot more confidence in Embiid’s long-term health.
