One play last night stood out where Risacher caught on the wing and I believe Wemby stepped out of the paint to pick him up. Kyrie darted in behind the play and it looked like Risacher had an opening for an easy bounce pass for Kyrie at the rim -- but he didn't throw the pass. Instead he dribbled into the paint, got stuck, and kicked it out. Super frustrating.
I keep reminding myself ZR is young and still building toward being a net positive rotation player.
ZR had a similar play with Gafford left alone under the rim with the defense scrambling and didn't see him.
