There was no ball movement, no system, just a couple of guys like Freeman-Liberty hunting shots, Gradey would occasionally get a shot in less than ideal situations. This year's regular crew on that team, like Omoruyi, Rhoden and Lawson, are playing within the system. Then having multiple NBA guys in and out of the lineup also helps maintain the system play. It's a virtuous circle that is helping everyone develop.
I heard them say this year they are running the same system that Darko is so guys will have an easier transition into the NBA. Plug n play. Mentioned it would help guys like Mogbo and Chomche in the future.
Ir really feels like they are back to using the gleague as a pipeline for future Raps. I assume our Portland pick will spend most of the year down there next year. Mogbo might too split time...keep working on the 3. No need to try and rush guys now that we finally have better depth.
Make sense, last year 905 head coach was an analytics guy with no playing experience
Darko is a good developmental coach, but I have my doubts if make it to playoffs for crucial in game decisions
