    We need to have the weak-side FT extended player cut on drives on the other side of the court.

    We'll have a guard drive down the left side of the lane, and the guy FT-extended on the right side of the court is spotting up.

    However, the driver doesn't have an angle for the kickout as the FT-extended spot up shooters defender is crashing down on the drive. This is leading to hard shots at the rim and turnovers...

    The FT-extended guy needs to cut to give the driver an open window. Should result in open layups.

    That Shabazz shot was a good shot. And it fell. Gotta get more looks like that.

    Connaughton has a habit of hand-checking guys driving against him when his body is in great position. That last drive is a great example. If he just gets his hand off him, it's perfect defense and Tucker misses a wild shot. That's a bail out foul.

    Collins is going to be a stud when he fills out. Can't believe he is 20 and playing in the league right now. That is insane.

    I hate that shot by Connaughton. Way too many contested, off-balance, off-the-dribble midrange jumpshots...

    I don't know what we are going to get from our center position if Nurk keeps playing like this.
