TAKE DAT WIT YOU 11/4

[vfromlmf]

I'll bet Luka isn't getting to the rim as often for several reasons. (1) he's not handling the ball, running pick & roll as often (2) poor spacing, lane clogged with KP & Powell in the paint (3) teams aren't guarding DFS. I'm sure there are stats to support this. 

On the whole, this team is full of one-dimensional shooters and limited bigs, so you'd expect them to be near the bottom of the league in rim attacks.

Overall, anyone notice a theme ? .... 

THJ: Carlisle made him a good player by tightening the reins. Kidd is asking him to do more offensively and it's not looking good.

DFS: Carlisle made him a good player by tightening the reins. Kidd is asking him to do more offensively and it's not looking good.

KP: Carlisle made him a good player by tightening the reins. Kidd is asking him to do more offensively and it's not looking good (when he actually plays).

Powell: Carlisle made him a good player by tightening the reins. Kidd is asking him to play more and it's not looking good.

Luka: Carlisle allowed him to be an All NBA first-teamer by handing him the keys. Kidd is asking him to do less and it's not looking good.

So far, only Brunson is rising to the challenge. Kleber has been good. Bullock has been meh. WCS has been terrible.
