    I don't I think it's just his mindset and he just doesn't have the ability to do other things. He focuses too much on scoring.

    That would require some actual coaching.

    I don't know why we never run Dame off of off-ball screens like Golden State does with Curry. It's harder to trap those because the defense is usually rotating to the pass and isn't in position to trap. Let Turner handle the ball and run Dame/CJ baseline, letting them curl some screens with Collins popping to mid-range and Aminu popping to corner 3.

    That would be more effective if Turner could shoot. Wish we had Batum for that.

    I know there's a GM that would see his efficiency as a #2 option and think that they could turn him into a 28ppg scorer on 45% FGs and 40% 3's. He has more value on the trade market than he does to our team.

    The Heat don't have their starting PF Winslow and their sub PG Tyler Johnson. So their sub SG Ellington shows he can shoot better than Lillard or McCollum against our invisible defense.

    This is the weakness of the Stotts system--every other team can shoot Stotts-style at will, but we can only play one way.

    Winslow isn't their starting PF and he's playing...

    That’s why you’ve gone out of your way tonpoint our every flaw without recognizing any positive aspects to his game unless forced. Yes the way you’ve expressed your nuanced emotions has been very revealing.

    The past offensive and defensive possessions by Collins were beautiful.
