But he still managed to score by getting into the paint, or at least making the right pass. A few dribbles and a shot seems to work fine from him. He shoots such a low % from 3, there's no reason to take them. I'd like to see scoring more paint, even throwing it to Duren, try to force a double team to get better 3s.
When a guy is sagging off you it's definitely going to be harder for u to get into the paint and score. I still think he's best a off ball scorer cutting to the basket and working is fast break/semi fastbreak situations. I fell like he fumbles his dribble a ton in the half court.

All of the above is true simultaneously.
Ausar performs better & should be used more in the pnr & generally attacking the basket. But we also need him to space the floor so other players are able to operate at max efficiency and ultimately he's gotta get comfortable taking that shot.
It's the same problem we've been battling for 3+seasons; too many overlapping deficiencies (shooting) making a lot of lineups untenable. But we *have* to play the kid.
Soooo.... we gotta try & use him better & try to involve him in other ways, but he's still gotta take those wide open looks or develop a pull-up or floater out something. He can't just dribble into traffic when the ball swings to the weak side.
