@@henry7486 great coaches adapt to personnel and the game. systems and philosophies have lifespans. something can work for a extended period of time until it doesn't. think of it as a game of strategy like chess, you don't approach every match with the same philosophy, you react to the game and reinvent your strategy. Hence y the continuity they once had is no longer sustainable. rigidity is their flaw

As a Celtics fan, Jayson Tatum’s biggest flaw on offense is his mental game. If he feels he should have gotten a call he will chuck up some garbage, and when the whistle doesn’t blow he turns to argue with the refs instead of following the ball for a potential second chance opportunity. His game would take another half step up in terms of production if he could just stay cool under pressure every game.

JJJ’s fg% would also be way worse since he takes more jump shots than most other centers. Rudy Gobert is gonna be more efficient if all he does is lobs and putbacks while JJJ is doing pick and pop 3s, elbow jumpers, etc

Love the video but the JJJ part needed a bit more context. He is a good defender but he actually provides a ton of value on offense as a shooter. His FG% is low because he shoots the most from 3 rather than anywhere else. Second is 3-10 feet and third is 0-3 ft, only being 20 percent of his shots.

Im not a grizz fan and I am not against JJJ being in a bad offense video. The reasoning is just moreso his shot selection. Maybe he shouldbt be taking 5 threes a game? Maybe he needs more looks at the rim? Either way, just recently found your channel and I love it. Keep it up!@@whatslaps

It's kinda wild that someone can be a PROFESSIONAL basketball player and be so poor on offense (in any way, FG%, FT%, not knowing how to move or where to be on the floor). Even though, like you explained, their defense makes up for it enough that they're considered valuable enough to play on the team. Although, like you also said, *somebody* has to be the worst in any given category, it is still pretty crazy for those certain guys to have that big of a disparity. But I guess the concept holds true because I would still want JJJ or Wallace on my team. However somebody I probably wouldn't want on my team is lack-of-confidence guy. If somebody shows that they are clearly not ready or willing to at least try to be a threat on offense (in ways that they should be capable of) then it is rough to be out there on the court with them. Poor Benny(?), what the HECK happened?! With that same idea, I would take Poku on my team. Low b-ball IQ is always ugly to see too, again PROFESSIONAL player, this is your job, this is what you get paid (very well) to do well, gotta do better than the low IQ moments. I feel privileged to be able to watch Wardell Stephen Curry II play basketball. The guy is an offensive master, S tier level all time in the history of the game. Great vidzo, thank you, you da manzy.

I felt a little bad about talking about triple J. He's by no means a wallace or rodman. He just happens to have the lowest FG%. Although I did let him off the hook for his rebounding. Simmons basically has the same problem that big ben who come into the league have. They've been good all their life and their self-worth comes from basketball. As soon as they start to lose their ego, they lose interest in the game. Better to be a TJ Mcconnell who has been told his whole life that pursuing basketball is bad idea. Poor Steph can't do it all, they're literally playing lester quionnes to solid minutes. Not sure what steph is supposed to do.

I’ve always like your vids but today i think you got the part on JJJ wrong. He a PF not a center(yes that matter) who stretches the floor and showed capability to create his own shot, he is a 3rd option behind Ja and Bane so he obviously won’t do that every game and he’s far from being bad on offense even though he might be clumsy sometimes (offensive fouls).
