Jonas is 7/7 today. It's fair to say, he should be getting 12-15 shots a game. he's the best player on the team by a country mile and can draw a legit double team.

There's no point passing it to him when they send doubles off the ball. The open shot is already created.

One thing I noted that most LT players bite on the pump fakes a lot, almost every shot is challenged by trying to jump and block it instead of just staying on the floor. Hope it will get addressed by coaches.

sweeden shooting freethrows at 50% - 1/2 through the whole game. Is that even possible wdf??

JV is just a bully i love it. He is a big man and knows it not like most bigmen today. hes vintage really dominates like shaq ....but his defense needs serious work its just fair or maybe hes just not trying

It just amazes me that he also showed this kind of efficiency against NBA teams last year, especially towards the end.

It doesn't seem to matter to him who he's playing, he has one gear and the only thing that seems to determine how much he misses is himself and not who he's up against.

More intense defense means more fouls

That's a big reach. There are lots of high-intensity defensive teams that don't foul a lot.

Not necessarily, quite often the opposite is true. If you're consistantly aggressive refs don't usually call very many touch fouls on you because you've established the way you play. If you turn your defensive aggression on and off it looks like your doing something out of character and you get whistled.

Plus if you look at foul rates, there isn't a huge correlation between the better/more aggressive defensive teams and higher rate of fouls.
