Message: [QUOTE="jake14mw, post: 4536998, member: 12344"] You can question the strategy. Why is Sanogo in the post if he can’t pass out of it efficiently? [B]Because he is one of the best low post players in the country. Points per shot are extremely good. He is starting to pass out better lately too.[/B] You notice that Sanogo isn’t a n isolation No. 1 option any longer? They moved away from the dump it in to the big guy and clear out. [B]They haven't completely moved away from it (They better not). [/B] [B]I think the two main factors why you have seen less of it recently 1) The emergence of Hawkins as such a lethal weapon, and focusing on him being the first option, and 2) Jackson's man clogging the lane[/B] By allow Jackson’s man to just sit in the paint and provide pre-help defense, essentially eliminating any ability of the team to go to the basket? [B]Not sure what you mean by "allowing", but yes I agree, this is the #1 thing Hurley has to solve for coaching wise in my opinion.[/B] Hurley believes in Jackson. Believes in the work he has done. The critique is that he believes in him too much and he doesn’t see what we see, clearly, that Jackson just can’t score in those situations at an efficient enough level in games. Also. Jackson is uncomfortable with the ball. [B]Completely agree with this, they have to help Jackson with this mentally or scheme wise or sit Jackson more[/B] Jackson , should be scoring above 1.0 points per shot on that defense. That’s the metric. 6 points on 11 shots is not great efficiency. [B]Agreed. All players have shots they should be taking and not taking based on points per shot. And for Jackson right now the only shot that has an acceptable points per shot is a dunk. He shouldn't be shooting much at all. Sorry about my inability to get the mult-quote working.[/B] [/QUOTE]
