This wasn't a case of his passing the ball and guys were missing shots (that happen once) this is straight tunnel vision.
I can't entirely blame knox either when your coach instructs you to be aggressive and look to score whenever you get the rock.
This is the kind of low IQ developing that's going on here. I never see him set screens for his teammates, in fact, he's not really engaged if the ball isn't coming to him, he gets rebounds and flies down court for a one on one every time.
the whole team has the same mind frame and this is one of the worst habits to pick up has a young player. Your not going to win that way, like ever, that's selfish hero basketball.
KLAY THOMAS SCORED 43 POINTS AND TOOK 4 FCKNG DRIBBLES THE ENTIRE GAME..there was a screen for him EVERYWHERE, from everyone,.. it was beautiful basketball...and on the other end of the court it was all one on one ISO's, quick "first open shot available" bricks..
How can you say FIZ is doing a good job when this type of play is pretty damn routine
Frank could very well become the PG we want and today's game was an encouraging sign, but if we cannot ship out THJr...its all moot. Porzingis and Knox, yes definitely very few assists, would I rather have them shoot than THJr, absolutely. Knox is yet to fill out his frame and KP himself is getting stronger, I think the assists will come for both as they get told by coaching staff to pass out of double teams. Knox is very fast on the floor and typically leading the pack when he's going one on one...he doesn't have anyone to pass to. I do wish he would do a turn around and pass to someone on the arc.
THJr is the player who he is...I don't expect improvements. He's like a poor man's Eric Gordon, I'd rather have Gordon.
Coming back to Knox, he is inconsistent on the passing, but he definitely has the confidence to score. Last year, KP always had a consistent scorer next to him in Kanter, who's going to take up the scoring next year. Assuming we are able to get rid of THJr and Kanter is obviously gone, Knox will be able to help.
The ball-sharing...maybe a focal point of feedback during exit interview from coach and FO.
"the whole team has the same mind frame and this is one of the worst habits to pick up has a young player. Your not going to win that way, like ever, that's selfish hero basketball."
We had 24 assists with no Burke, no THJr, no Kanter in the game. If we play like this, I am ok with whatever losses we get. Your declaration about whole team having the same mind frame is completely wrong. Did you even watch the game?
