Re: Q&A with Keith Smart (informative)
Lowe really asked all the things I wanted to ask regarding DeMarcus, especially the PNR defense part which was spot on.
The answer to his question btw would absolutely without a doubt be "become really good in post-up play".
If we can actually create points productively in the post on his own, it would open up his entire offensive game - My problem with Smart's answer is that DeMarcus atleast this year is just horrible shooting the ball as Lowe alluded to opposed to last year, so the lesser evil here is putting him in the post more often then not.
must be really frustrating for a coach to have DeMarcus as his best player. When you read into his answers about the stuff DeMarcus is doing wrong, he is really helpless just hoping he's happy that day doing what he needs to and not being a total bitch on the court.
