If LeDee shoots 40% from the field and goes for 20/10, we’re probably winning by double digits. I would expect they’ll be very cautious with Clingan to avoid foul trouble, understanding LeDee is going to put up some numbers. Ledee needs to absolutely go off for them to have a shot.
Great percentage, takes great looks and smart shots. The sign of an intelligent player. That does not make him a better shooter than Ledee.
Finally someone who gets it!
Let me get this straight, Ledee has Hawkins range? That's your comparison.
This is exactly what I'm saying in earlier posts. You can't let his low percentage shot dictate how we play Clingan.
I don't know if it's low-percentage but it's low-efficiency. Long 2's are the worst shot in the game. We should probably put some effort (unlike the Washington guys in that highlight, yikes) into making him uncomfortable, i.e. not give up a straight shot with momentum towards the basket, but not so much that it leaves the paint open.
Sure. Sanogo took 52 3s his senior year.
The goal post has been moved
You think Solo Ball is an NBA prospect, so i suppose you should stop sitting back.
Good. That makes it easier. Since he's not as big or as good as Sanogo, all Donovan has to do is keep his arms up and not reach. Meanwhile, I'd do what teams did to Sanogo and while he's figuring out what array of moves can get past DC, double him with a wing. Let's see his passing skills. Because to score on Donovan he has to dribble, and I really like my chances of our perimeter guys taking the ball if he does that.
I don’t think anyone has suggested we should be chasing LeDee out to the three point line. He’s a competent outside shooter but if he wants to settle for 17+ foot shots all day, Clingan is going to let him take those.
And? He shot 35%. He had a great year. shot 63% for the year I believe. Excellent. Ledee shot 45% from 3 this year and is shooting 57%, overall also excellent.
Actually it's how it started. My point was we will have to play drop coverage with Clingan when they run their action with Ledee at the top of the Key. When they do, it will be best for Clingan to stay with the screen or blocker as it is called in their offense, use Karaban to switch on his roll or when he backsout to contest his jumpers.
They’re obviously just pretending to be nervous as part of some sort of psyop
Honestly, I don’t even think you need the double with Clingan in there. Keep LeDee to 20 on poor efficiency and absolutely lock down the rest of their offensively challenged lineup. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of doubling with Samson in because LeDee will eat his lunch down low.
I’m going to need to see your work cited on where someone suggested Clingan should be chasing LeDee out to the three point line. I’ll wait.
Go ahead. Give us all your definition of an NBA prospect. I'm all ears.
You've just changed what I've said, so there is nothing to cite. Karaban should be the one patrolling him on the perimeter. That's all. We can live him taking shots, but not wide open shots. If Clingan gets caught in the action he needs to fall back and protect the paint, not fall for the bait.
