Well in fairness he hasn't had a big man besides a guy like Plumlee and he played well. Stewart is more of a energy small big.
Yes, Plumlee played well because he knows how to play the game. He's not an offensive focal point. Sets aren't run for him.
But a guy like Ayton would be lost on Casey. He doesn't believe in the low post. Doesn't bother with pick-n-roll sets....
How do you know that he wouldn't use Ayton that way when we've yet to have a player like that is what I'm getting at.
Not that I give a crap about Casey or expect him here long term just wondering why you're so certain he would just not understand one of the simplest and oldest plays in basketball like a pick and roll.
