I sort of like the idea of telling Mitch to intentionally miss. The law of averages says he'll actually hit more FTs that way!!! Seriously though if Drummond can get up to 60+% then so can Mitch.

. (and if he doesn't hit more FTs, then we claim the benefit it was all according to plan)|

No one likes playing Mitch at the start of quarters to prevent the strategy in the first place?

However, we have Towns who needs to start. So we cannot really go with Mitch from the get go for that reason. Putting someone in the starting lineup because he is the worst free throws shooter would be bad for team chemistry and psychology. It's like you are rewarding a player for not working on his game.

The best strategy is for Mitch to hit his free throws. It’s maddening. He has to know he could potentially double his income if he could hit FTs and avoid injuries.

You can start with double bigs. Or start all the other quarters with KAT resting and come in at the 8 minute mark for the rest of the quarters this way technically he's starting if egos matter. |

Mitch may end having to start against the pistons. Alongside KAT. Brown will first try Deuce starting at SG but I prefer Mitch starting to nullify Hack-a-Mitch.

If Detroit does the hack a Mitch.... could get interesting. However I don't know how I feel about getting too smart about this. We are doing so good even with a hack a Mitch

This is based on Knicks responding to Pistons who have Tobias Harris at PF. Duran is not an offensive juggernaut. KAT can handle him. More than likley they put Harris on KAT and then they have to contend with OG. I assume they put Thompson on Jalen and not double trap him like Philly tried to do. It looks bad but Jalen broke it enough to nullify. But Lets see what Clev does tonite that might change this conversation. |
