We are just going to have a bunch of guys who are between 6'2 and 6'6 and get annihilated on any interior movement? On offense we are just going to have guards dribble hand off to each other until one of them decides to chuck?

Thats what happens when you draft a bunch of guys who dont have the it factor.

You really think Shannon or any rookie would play good in this debacle of coaching looks like 5 guys running around with their heads cut off

Emoni would look good gunning for us off the bench or even in the Beasley role

I don't think they need it factor. I think they need a roster that makes sense as composed. These players don't have Giannis or Dame or Khris to make them look like they are useful on offense. They don't have Brook to lead players to on defense. They need to be able to run functional offense and defense without those players. Set picks, post players up, *BOX OUT*. We can't just put a bunch of combo guards on the court and expect to not get smoked by everyone.

AJ Johnson can get to the rim on a whim, but he doesn't attack the paint enough. Get downhill, kid!

They have mostly been playing him off ball at the break or in the corner.

Imagine making eye contact with Horst after your 30th turnover

Horst has a **** eye for young talent. :dontknow:

Nobody is setting screens or moving off the ball

Yeah it is crazy. No one on the team is good enough to create offense solo. They look completely uncoached on offense.

Ajax with the wide open step back 3... clanks off the top of the backboard.

He should be playing more like an energy hustle 3/small ball 4 type. Get Darvin Ham in his ear and just have him dunk putbacks and and use his athleticism to get O-rebs. Everything else he tries to do makes him look like a fish out of water.

Hugo Besson sighting

Milwaukee Bucks set a pick challenge. Difficulty impossible.

Here's the problem:

Horst has made a huge point in wanting to draft athletic players.

Ajax, AJJ and Marjon are all athletic, but with few NBA basketball skills. Livingston fits in that category too.

Green has an NBA bball skill. Horst's obsession with athleticism is misplaced. Give me a player with bball skills and an understanding of the game before speed and jumping ability.

Rollins has a decent understanding of the game and plays defense. Not the most athletic.

give Hugo TyTys two way spot

Livingston is going to be a contributor this season. hoping he can make an impact similar to Mathurin

Horst is no R. Kelly when it comes to picking young talent

I finally saw the Bucks set an on ball pick and it led to a player getting to the rim. Very strange concept.

Balls2TheWalls · Post #459 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Sun Jul 14, 2024 8:53 pm

Chris Livingston clearly wants to find some court time. He managed to make the last 5 minutes of that quarter watchable by himself.
