Offense has improved, but the defense fell off a cliff the past 10 games:

Imma need someone to explain this one to me...

How exactly does Trae receive more passes than he makes?

Easy....his teammates are always passing him.the ball back. Things get tight, pass to Trae, get a lil.pressure pass to Trae, play breaks down pass to Trae.
Now - are these passes for scoring opportunities? Are they counting the inbound passes?

Trae and Risacher (and DeJounte) all at the bottom of this particular list is pretty alarming.

Great coaching.
Bad shot making.

Brutal.

I assume it's a good sign we don't have too many players on this...

In the second half of the season we will see who Quin and Trae believe deserves the second and third most FG attempts.

Trae is now at 18 per game. Which increased after the trade deadline.

Per Game:
Dyson Daniels 12.2
Georges Niang 11.0
Caris LeVert 10.0
Zaccharie Risacher 9.9

Hawks 3-point shooting:
Ranks 20th 34.9%

Last season:
36.3%

We traded our best 3-point shooter De'Andre Hunter who has made 17 of 30 in Cleveland at 56%.

Really showcases how having an actual direction vs hunting for mismatches helps a teams offense. This is why I don't really get upset with the current results of this team because #1, it takes time to get guys acclimated to a new philosophy.

#2, you need versatile skillsets in place. JJ and Dys have many ways to finish or be playmakers off of Trae's gravity. We didn't have that with Collins and Hunter.

#3, a change in philosophy, usually requires breaking bad habits from the past. You don't see Trae taking those half-court 3's as much or hunting fouls as often. In fact, his assisted FGA's has continuously risen since Snyder arrived.

I like this breakdown of the "5 Slot" offense, and it gives a perspective on how innovative Quin can be.

I think it indeed helps prioritize JJ's skillset since he can make plays out of this. He did this in Utah as well where he built an offense for the players he had.

This is also where I think Zacch will be a valuable piece in the future because of the cutting and open 3 point shots we can produce out of this.

I do miss the days when Trae had an elite roll man to throw lobs to when defenses sold out to stop TY.

I'm increasingly hopeful that Milwaukee falls all the way back into the Play In Tournament...for a lot of reasons.
They feel like an easy out this postseason.
