If your only looking at game minutes you have a point. Thibs problem was running players into the ground BETWEEN games.
I like Thibs and any team looking to get over the hump should be the preferences destination for him. He'd be great here in about 2-3 years if we're not allready contending but fight now the fits not there imo
That's a good point. Do remember reading his practices were brutal as well. Tough call, one on hand it builds an identity of hard work/toughness but you're right it's scary long-term.
Idk I just think Giannis' defensive potential would be maximized under Thibs, I don't think any coach in the league has his understanding of that end of the floor. I think if we were ever to go the Thibs route it'd be better to do it now, when the guys are still really young and you can build those habits/that understanding early.
Why don't you like the fit right now? I'd argue we're trying to get over the hump now, we're shooting for the playoffs next year.
I don't like the fit right now because his M.O. is to run guys into the ground between games so to me wherever he lands the team he coaches will only have a window of about 4 years max before the players that he's pushing so hard have their bodies begin to break down.
Bringing him in now would shorten any window we could have because imo Giannis, Jabari and Middleton would be having their bodies begin to break down well before they ever hit 30.
A team looking to maximize a 2-4 year window is where he should land. The Bucks aren't close to being at that point yet.
I'm more worried about Giannis' body breaking down from playing every summer for Greece than I am a Head coach's minutes allocation. He literally has no off-season.
