Then shouldn't kat go straight to the rim and call for the ball. Punish em for putting a guard on our C. Why rely on Hart to hit 3s in that scenario.
That's what they want, because Jrue will provide enough resistance for Horford (KP) to cheat off Hart and make you take a tougher shot than expected. That's what they were doing to Embiid last season, they'd actually guard him with Jrue at times.
They did the same to Randle too, KP was helping off Mitch a lot.
Got damn jrue is a beast.
That's brilliant defense. It forces our worst offensive player to take the shot. So what's the answer to this. You don't want the defense to dictate who shoots? Go away from kat. Get into the offense quicker. Bench jHart for deuce.
You have to get their big into rotation, so everybody on the court has to be able to shoot and attack closeouts. If theres no weak shooter to put KP/Horford on that means they actually have to check someone. If they guard Hart with a big he has to rebound and push in transition pretty much anytime he gets it.
The Nuggets had their number last year too, KP/Horford could not guard Jokic and they could not put Jrue on him either.
