Larrier was a ball stopping machine because he wasn’t coached not to be. I didn’t see anyone screaming at him to move the ball when he didn’t have an open jumper. I didn’t see KO jump off the bench and give him the hook. Larrier needs to be taught where to find his offense.

Also, the cries that he can’t defend are silly. He’s a great athlete. MAKE him defend or sit him down. Coach him for goodness sake. Steve Nash had mismatches all day Long on D, especially late in his career. He was still an amazing player because he brought so much more to the table. Let’s stop making excuses for the KO, certain players etc.  It is very simple. In a a well thought out game plan, Larrier is at best, a knock down shooter with athleticism and at worst, a good shooter with serviceable athletic ability to defend in college. He is a victim of lack of development by his coaches. Just like Brimah and Purvis, Larrier will find a niche at the next level. He may or may not be an NBA player, but he’ll at least be a hell of a player in Europe.
