For those of you watching, this is why I said Giannis with OKC could work if you pay attention to OKC’s playstyle.

They run their set offense with Shai on the weakside… and it’s trash because no one on their team can create their own shot or create advantage. So then it swings back to SGA for iso bailouts or kickout 3s

Also, why is Carter playing the 4? Isn’t he a 3?

Think they seem him in the vision of what they thought Jeremy could be so they kind of need him to play the 4. I think they go after a 3 of move barnes to the 3 if they bring him back. Carter is big enough to guard 1 through 4. I think he eventually becomes the defensive stopper over castle, who is great defensively but he carries such a high offensive load you asking a lot for him to usually be guarding the other teams best perimeter player to

For every brick 3, San Antonio just goes down hill in semi transition for a power layup… playing to the strength of Fox and Harper :ehh:

Then they come down and force OKC to play against a set defense, rinse and repeat lol

Only thing I didn’t like about San Antonio, there were about 2-3 different instances where it looked like Wemby fukked up his knee, foot or ankle. But he shrugged it off and got back

Need the muthafukka to stay healthy

Yeah he has that potential to guard 1-4 well

I just never got the “Sochan replacement” talks. He played SF in college. In my head, olynyk was that replacement. But both Sochan and Olynyk are mostly unplayable

They need a legit stretch 4 so everyone can play their natural positions
