I agree that there are plenty of cases where playing public high school ball is better...it is usually a much better game atmosphere where the fans/students/families actually care which leads to more pressure situations and games that actually matter. If the kid is playing against good...
Solo is fine. This happens all the time in the NBA where a top player isn't in the game down the stretch because something else was working better. It happened last week with Stephon Castle against the Knicks when Julian Champagne hit 10 threes...next game it was back to the usual.
Watching the playoffs and finals last year, while Dort and Caruso especially are absoluetly great on defense, they hold and hack and get away with it more than anyone I’ve seen in recent years. Caruso was actually hanging off Jokic’s back in the western conference finals with no calls.
We put the opponent in the bonus way too quickly. We do get screwed sometimes but I think its just been a constant since Hurley has been here (I don't have stats the back it up, just my observation).
If every player was awesome we would win by 50. Against good teams, that isn't going to happen. I thought as a team the defense and rebounding was great in the second half, we played hard without fouling, and were composed.
Demary was bad...but I don't think he will have many games like that...
The good players are all making at least half a million per year. It’s professional sports now and playing a bunch of overmatched teams with kids making no money doesn’t make sense.
