It played out about as I expected. I’m not sure how Klay would have been utilized differently given the roster we had. Now, if you are saying he might have been more valuable with a better roster around him…I’m good with that.
I don’t know if my point is dependent on the quality of the roster around him, though I agree that would’ve helped a great deal. What I’m talking about has nothing to do with who started or closed, I just didn’t particularly find the offensive system run here the last couple of years to be organized or all that interested in capitalizing on specific players’ skills.
Honestly, it seemed like what the coach was going for was to empower everyone on the roster to attack closeouts… Thompson, Washington, etc. There just wasn’t a lot of intent to get specific people specific opportunities to my eye.
I feel like there’s a good chance Sooelstra will do better with him.
