Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4201910, member: 1329"] Looks like play was to have Sanogo pass to Whaley, who swings it to Cole who could then entry into Sanogo with spacing elsewhere. Sanogo starts high in order to cut and establish possession deep. St. John's fronts Sanogo and he's too deep to receive a pass over the top. So then Cole's read is to drive. He does a nice job of using his left hand to fake the pass and then crosses over and attacks into the empty space. If Sanogo's man helps, he can pass/lob to Sanogo. But Sanogo's man stays home and Cole gets a step so at that point he's correctly looking to shoot. Since Martin's man rotated over, he could've lobbed to Martin (who smartly/well designed cuts to the dunker's spot). It worked out pretty well. Cole could've tried to lob to Martin or kick out to Jackson, but the latter is more of a last resort type option. He had a step, so a shot is a good option with Martin uncovered on the glass. Sometimes shot is the best way to make the pass. [/QUOTE]
