Yeah, it seemed like they gave Travis one basic job: catch, dribble, stop, jump, shoot. Keep TRob's job simple, Brian Grant style, and he'll thrive.
These don't look like they should be happening. They never seem to happen with Robinson not involved. I have a hard time believing that Stotts has designed a special double-screen play to use ONLY when Robinson is in the game. And if he has...it takes away points from his "offensive genius" column.
All of those passes come from the offense, when he remembers where he's supposed to pass. A lot of the time he turns it over because he just blindly does what he remembers. To me, it's painfully obvious he's the dumbest player in the rotation. He's just an athletic body that only helps the team when he's giving 100% athletic effort. Otherwise, he's not smart enough not to be a detriment.
That even strengthens the Ruben Patterson comparison. High energy, athletic, but limited due to mental issues. But I loved having Ruben come off the bench, but coaches didn't like him so much because of other mistakes he'd make.
Doesn't Monte Williams deserve most of the credit for Travis Outlaw becoming a useful player? If I remember correctly he worked with him individually, with chairs on the court, in order to teach him basket ball 101. Trout became a one move offensive player, but that one move was pretty effective.
Outlaw was awesome. Hit like 6 game winners and others important shots. In Roy's 52 point game, we desperately needed one more guy to score in the 4th and Travis stepped up. Great player. One of my favorites all time.
