    Sadly, Curry can’t guard Dame so they have to put Bazemore on him. Or maybe both coaches know that they need to keep their stars fresh and hide them on guys who aren’t as tough to cover.

    Trent has potential (good instincts, moves his feet well, etc) to be a good defender. Unfortunately it’s not a priority of the coach so there’s no incentive for Trent to expend energy on that end of the court. He knows his offensive production is what’s going to get him paid this Summer so he appears to be putting in more effort there. Doesn’t help that the leaders on this team (Dame & CJ) also model that same behaviour.

    He really seems confuse how he wants to attack it. When he makes up his mind the trap already there. But that's on both Dame and the Stotts. Both should regonize what there doing and draw something up to be able attack it. But that's Stotts he just don't adjust in games.

    Mainly, the difference is that Dame has to work against a really good defense. Curry, not so much.

    Hard to get in the penalty when your entire offense consists of isolation jump shots.

    That's not Simon's fault. Everyone's standing around. That's hownpur offense is. Everyone stand around and wait until the guy with the ball does something.

    Ducks are just a fantastic basketball program at this point. They win all the time imo. Altman is super super underrated

    This is what happens DJJ when you turn down open threes.

    Offense works so much better when the forwards hit threes.
