way to anemic, way to easy to predict, nothing comes easy, not treating all players the same.. just smh
Jacque Vaughn killed confidence and will to play in Nicholson ,Skiles does the same with 4th and 5th overall picks. He treats them like hustle second round scrubs that should , if they wanna score- get offensive rebound. First of all he just HATES to play them, and when they are in- there is NOTHING for them in offense. Hezonja WAS player that would sometimes take bad shot, sometimes knock it down, sometimes would miss but he was never afraid of taking open shots, right now he looks so scared, he passes open 3s to butterfinger Dedmon in order to get ANY playing time he must be pass first player- on a team where he is,as rookie top 4 shooter?
Gordon body language shows how deppresed he is, he had 8 freaking rebounds ( in team where starting center in 32 min has 4! ) in 16 min, did solid on ffense and was taken out for Nicholson.
Skiles just hates rookies, there is not much to add about coach that played Luc Mbah a Moute over Harris in Harris rookie year. (when he was asked why he simply said " defense" ) what makes me question his long term vision, Moute today is garbage time jobber , Harris is max deal player.
What is Harris role on offense? Spot up shooter who is 32% career shooter from deep? Good job Skiles, 55 touches in 33 min per game? Didn’t took more than 14 shots for 2 months.
And ofc now Skiles chosen ones-ones that have green light to suck on defense and will be played 30+ min no matter what. Vučevic doesn’t even care, YOLO-in on defense: 4 rebounds in 32 min, averaging 5,2 defensive rebounds per game. We get he is best offensive player on a team, that doesn’t mean he can give zero effort on defensive side, who is he? Harden? Sorry bro, you are not that good, below 17 ppg , alergic on contact , averaging 1,4 free trow attemp per game, basically developed jumper so he can avoid contact.
And ofc another below average defender who is not held with same standards as other guards in Fournier. 43% FG for 13,9 ppg , almost always leads team in field goal attemps, also alergic on contact ( 2,2 free trow attemps per game), takes as much 3s per game as Durant, JJ Redick , Korver and Beal, takes more 3 pointers per game than Anderson,Middelton,Pope or Teletović (all 3 point specialists ), shoots 37% from 3.. Not bad- but not elite. No matter how much stupid stuffs he does on D, how people are dropping 20 or something points over him every game-he is still there for 30 min every night.
Pls don’t try to defend this with "oh they don’t call fouls on Orlando" how da F they will call fouls when starting line up starts every game 20 points from behind because it takes them 20 min to get into any kind of rythm and only thing they do is bomb mid range and 3 point – contested bricks. They took like 11 jumpers in first quater, missed 7 of them.
