And the most experienced healthy players at their prime was Tim and Kanter? That was a tank roster from the beginning. That was almost uncoachable.
To make things worst 50 to 90% of the roster will not stay. And by next season the team system will be changed to please our new Max FA signings.
So he can't coach because of the roster?
Even if the players suck, defense is driven a bunch by effort and I have seen a consistent lack of effort. Lack of effort is something the coach definitely needs to be held accountable for, at least partially.
It's not all bad, he at least plays the younger players which coaches like Horny did not want to do.
There is a good chance our roster sucks again next year, so he also can't really coach again next year as well?
The points are:
1) Our rookies and sophomores players dont have enough experience, developed individuals skills set, developed physical tools to properly execute team play. They are too green. You have to keep explaining basic things. You have to try to keep things too simple.
2) Fomer (?) busts players dont have a great skill set, will problably leave the team and they are more interested in individuals stats than team development.
3) Veteran players will not stay in team and dont have physical conditional or skill set to make a great difference.
How can you coach a team that half of the roster has yet to learn the Basic of NBA and the other half will leave the team and not interested in team play? And all you gonna reach will not matter at all because you have to star over next season with a totally new roster and the main focus of the team will switch to Durant, Irving and AD/Zion/Beal.
No issue with the comments you made 1, 2 or 3. Nobody will argue the players are not that good or experienced.
The red is where we will not agree. You are saying "how can you coach" as if it is not possible but I am going to completely disagree with you there. I actually think younger players new to the NBA are the most coachable as they have so much to learn and be taught, including coaching them the basics!
Saying he can't coach because of the roster and that even if he could "reach" it doesn't matter......sorry I think those are both completely wrong.
He can't win with this roster? That is a given. He can't "coach" because of the roster? WRONG
